The walled city of Campeche, the Tren Maya (Mayan Train). Hand woven jipijapa palm hats, Uxmal in the Puuc region, the history and importance of chocolate and cacao, flamingos in the lagoons of Sisal, Merida and haciendas amd swimming in cenotes. We have travelled by plane, bus, van, train (Maya), moto-taxi, horse drawn cart, small punted boats! Amazing traditional cuisine and more.

So much to remember and we had lots of fun.
