Mexico

So I finally made it to Latin America, after seemingly avoiding it for the last 15 years of travelling around Europe, Africa and most of Asia. 

Its always been and alluring destination, but one so big i've been putting it off until i can appreciate it fully. Even now, i will 'only' be away for 7 months so can't cover the whole continent. Lets just say this is part one of a few trips i will make in the next few years.

'The Plan' is to travel overland, south from Mexico, as far as possible in the next half year. Then return to Guatemala for a Holy Week Festival in April, before coming home in May.

The route for now, is Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, by boat to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and finally Bolivia, hopefully in time for Carnival in March.
