Christmas Eve in San Cristobal!

We made it to San Cristobal just in time for Christmas festivities!

San Cristobal is cold!!! Christmas day is forecast to have a low of 4 degrees Celsius and a high of 11.

We joined people at our hostel for some Christmas Eve snacks and a traditional Mexican Christmas drink called Ponche Navideño which a hot festive fruit punch. It's delicious!

Auryn and I then walked around the city centre and watched tons a children lighting off fireworks. Fireworks are an enormous part of Christmas culture here. At midnight the entire area started lighting them off continuously for about 45 minutes!

Our hostel arrangement is quite... Unique. Our hostel didn't have enough space for us in their main complex, so we are sleeping in their second complex in a cute little cob hut. We have to go outside and around the back of another building to access the bathroom and then we have to go around the block to the primary complex to access the common social areas and the main kitchen. 😅 The hostel is lovely other than the incontinuity of the living space.En savoir plus
