san marcos is a top place, its a bit "far out" if u compare it to your average UK town, but its a good place with good people...and of course on the stunning lake. I stayed at las piramedes to have a look as they run a lunar long course, i liked it so stayed for all of it - this entailed a lunar cycle long course of early morning yoga, metaphysics in the late morning, some guided meditation late afternoon and calm yoga in the evening (you didnt have to go to everything just do what and when you felt [View Full Entry]

Antigua is surrounded by 2 massive volcanos and is a really pretty place, more touristy than anywhere ive been so far tho due to lots of spanish schools. I got some 1 on 1 spanish lessons for £2.50 an hour with free drinks. This used to be the centre for the spanish in the 16th century for all the americas. stayed at the wonderful negro gato - again [View Full Entry]

Arrived in Mexico on 8th September and had my own minibus for £18 for 100km :-) saw a big moped pile up and some1s leg was well and truly snapped - ouch. Tulum is 100km south of cancun - quiet bohemien mexican town, with a real mixture of people from all over the world. Stayed at the no electricity cabanas (huts on beach) for 3 nights then went into tulum town and staying at the "weary traveller" - hammocks in the garden and good people. The cabanas where awesome and they had free early morning yoga and untold different massages. Went [View Full Entry]
