Mexico End of Part 1

Time ran away from us and we didn't blog our final days in Mexico before we returned to the UK for Christmas. So here are a few photos and brief words to give a flavour of it all...

We swam in a Cenote (limestone sink hole - the water was 50m deep) - a truly magical experience..


A cautionary tale - never ever order maize fungus tacos...


Bel & Dave bought a hammock in Merida


The Piña Coladas sustained us on our way


Our dear friend Yareri provided us with an unforgettable Tequila tasting session



Whilst in Taxco we celebrated Carol's birthday - for which Yareri kindly provided a cake


At Mexico City airport we waved goodbye to Carol, Bel & Dave (having wisely chosen 'Wings' over 'Flaps')



We bought some of the beautiful hand embroidered blouses and dresses that they sell in Santo Domingo market and Daisy got her first appearance as a model (shame no-one seemed to want to buy them once we got back home)!


OK, so we might have put Daisy in the manger at Enrique's mum's place - but I promise we'd only been drinking coca cola.


In our final days in Mexico before we returned to the UK for Christmas we went up to Mexico City. We took a day trip to Xochimilco ('SoggyMilko'), remains of the original Aztec floating city - now full of mariachi bands on boats...we thoroughly enjoyed it.


We also saw a house full of fantastic Diego Riviera and Frida Kahlo works and a collection of popular Mexico art, including some very cheery skeletons.



And finally we said goodbye to Mexico - or at least 'hasta luego'...
