The first week of the Mexico journey started in the authentic Chiapas. Now we were driving into the more touristic part of Mexico: Yucatan. No more police wanting to check who we are or where we are going. Two white women in a car apparently isn’t a rare sight anymore. Campeche First stop in Yucatan…
This time I’m traveling for 2 weeks in Mexico, and as always a tad different than usual.

San Cristobal Only an hour…
