So it's been a bit quiet over here on the blog lately. In part, this was due to my work commitments, which I
explained here a while back. But then I also went on holiday for three weeks, and took a blogging break during that time. Now I'm back home in Scotland, and shit has hit the fan somewhat with the coronavirus outbreak. My tour guide work is completely gone, but I'm at least still getting some pay for managing the company from home - however, you may notice the new little coffee symbol to the right, which is a means for you to support my little blog if you enjoy it, to top up my income right now. I've never asked for this before, but it's a very uncertain, slightly alarming situation for me and the rest of the company right now, so I'm just trying to do what I can to keep going, and take things a day at a time.
But, the whole reason I'm writing all this now is to preface the fact that I have a ton of extra free time now and therefore not excuse to write up all the blog posts about my trip, which involved 2 weeks in
Mexico, followed by a week in
Cuba. So, let's stop talking about the virus and instead let me imagine I'm back on holiday right now - starting with Mexico City! I was travelling with a good friend (Cintia, her name will keep coming up in these posts no doubt), and we were doing an
Intrepid tour in Mexico, then Cuba by ourselves. It took us an entire day to get there, on an 11 hour flight from London. We actually flew on the 14th of February, so with the timezone change, we had the longest Valentine's Day ever, much to our disgust! We arrived late at night, so it was straight to bed once we got to the hotel.
