Tulum
December 18, 2022 in Mexico ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
About Tulum we were little bit sceptical, because it's very busy touristic area. But thanks to couchsurfing experince with Oscar we had really nice time. We went to the beach and also visited two cenotes, one of them was private just for us (thanks to other guy from couchsurfing which work there as an architect). We also went out after long time to dance some salsa.Read more

Veracruz
December 7, 2022 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
In Veracruz we celebrate the birthday of Simon. Enjoying beach time, eating out and just wondering around the town. Veracruz didn't feel like a place where we would come back, but it was nice to get some rest.
At some places you could already see some Christmas lights, but it's really weird for us as the weather is so hot, it doesn't feel like Christmas time at all.Read more

We managed to overcome our high record again. Iztaccihuatl volcano with high 5000m. The actuall peak is 5250 but as we didn't have equipment for the glacier, we didn't hike all the way up. It was amazing experince.

Our highest mountain so far - La Malinche 4461 m.
Hitchhiking to the entrance took as a loot of time and we were scared we will not have enough time to go all the way to the peak.
Luckily we had a lot of energy and managed to get all the way up in 3,5h. The view were stunning and weather was on our side. For the way back we join american group and could go with their bus back to Puebla.Read more

Día de los muertos
November 1, 2022 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We got the possibility to stay with local family, which we know through friend Taby, who stay with them for one year.
It was the best way how we could celebrate this days.
We could prepare the oltar "ofrenda" for their daughter who died 3 years ago. We could try many different dishes, dance on the square with costumes, bring part of the meal to other neighbors and family members and in the end have a party on the graveyard.
It's a very nice tradition and it's nice that people remember those who die with a lot of joy and take it as a time reunite with a family and close friends.Read more
