Thank you all for your concern and messages over the past few days. To be honest, things don´t seem too bad here.
Just writing to let you know I am safe and sound. Mexico was getting absolutely ridiculous - everything was closed (tourist attractions, restaurants, transport and museums etc) and there are a lot of very panicked people. Businesses especially tourism based are suffering and people are being laid off work already. Its not a good situation...
Whilst a lot of countries are not accepting travellers from Mexico, I successfully crossed into Guatemala this morning via a little used river border crossing. I am now in Flores, which is northern Guatemala and in the middle of nowhere.
Most of the cases have been confined to Mexico City. I left there on 24 Aptil 2009, so still have a few more days until I am out of the infection possibility. HOWEVER I have not met anyone who is sick apart from a normal cold, including people in Mexico City...
For now I am swimming in a beautiful lake and enjoying hot hot hot temperatures!!! There does not seem to be as much attention on the flu situation here. I guess that is Guatemala for you.
A proper blog will be coming soon. With the recent events, I have been heading sourth as fast as possible in order to leave Mexico well and truly behind.
Until next time.
