an easy way for friends and family to keep up with life on the dark continent or wherever we end up...

Back up and running...

Apologies to everyone it's been over A YEAR since I updated this thing and there's been plenty happening in the mean time...

so a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY etc to everyone!!!!!!!!

I've literally just put a whole YEAR's stuff up but I think only the latest blogs show on the screen to start with, so if you go over <== there on the left side, there's an archive where you can find all the old ones. There's a few at the start of 08 in Nigeria, Zanzibar in May 08, then our move the US, Canada in Sept 08, Cuba in Jan 09 and Guatemala and Mexico in Easter 09, enjoy...

Mexico - Uxmal & Kabah

After Chichen Itza, we headed on down the road to the bustling provincial capital of Merida. Luckily all the streets are one way in the middle of town as there's a LOT of cars, buses and other miscellaneous things on the road here - at least everything was (generally) heading in the same direction. I think our time in Nigeria helped as it allowed fitting the car into impossibly small spaces feel more normal...

Again, we had a great time and were still suffering the effects of way too much time outside sweating and baking under the Mexican sun, but still managed to take a bunch of photos as we continued through the countryside down to the Mayan sites at Uxmal and Kabah.

Here's a few...

As these places are so bloody big, we took a few panoramas as well. Enjoy...

A few more miles down the road, the site of Kabah is less visited but also less re-built by archaeologists so it was more of trek through old school ruins - great fun.
