17th Oct 2016 We wander through the streets of Playa trying to remember places we visited four years ago. Some things are the same, but there are a lot of new buildings and shops. Essentials done – laundry dropped off, …
Never Go Back?
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSF2523_thumb.jpg
16th Oct. 2016 The last time we were in Playa del Carmen it was a real case of culture shock. We had spent the previous three weeks in Cuba existing on a diet of rice and beans with a choice …
No More Frijoles Please
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSC3802_thumb-190x127.jpg
15th Oct. 2016 I am reminded we are back in Mexico when my breakfast omelette comes with frijoles (a paste made from pinto or black beans) and tortillas. I am not good with unusual food first thing in the morning, …
You Know You’re Getting Old When…
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/DSF2492_thumb-190x101.jpg
14th Oct. 2016 We have the grand choice of one boat a day – and 7am departure at that – for our transfer back to Mexico. Even that is a 100% increase over our initial fear that it was one …
Hasta Luego Mexico, Hola Guatemala
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2709_thumb-1-141x190.jpg
28th Sept 2016 This could be a short post (yippee say at least one of our avid readers!) of, ‘we sat being transported from San Cristobal des les Casas in Mexico to Quetzaltenango in Guatemala and watched the amazing …

Sorting Out Loose Ends
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSF1724_thumb-164x190.jpg
27th Sept. 2106 It was a long day yesterday. Very worthwhile and enjoyable, but we are glad that we can have a day taking it easy today before our transfer to Guatemala tomorrow. I think that both Alex and Marcella(?) …
A Change Of Scenery
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2596_thumb-127x190.jpg
26th Sept. 2016 A visit to waterfalls and lakes seemed like a good change from churches and cities, but we had failed to realise that they were a 2 ½ hour drive away along the road to the Guatemalan …
An Abrupt Start
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2553_thumb-190x176.jpg
25th Sept. 2016 “Right, we’re here. Get out.” That seemed to be the gist of the brutal announcement over the PA in the bus that woke me from my fitful sleep this morning. Sure enough, it was 7 o’clock and, …
Pre Hispanic Day
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSF1577_thumb-190x109.jpg
24th Sept. 2016 Today will be a long day as we start by Skyping our parents before breakfast. As breakfast is not included in the room rate, we check out and head off to see if we can find …
I Have A Theory…*
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2466_thumb-148x190.jpg
23rd Sept. 2016 This has been building during our stay in Mexico and has come to head over the last couple of days. All of the towns that we have visited have had a large number of churches – far …
