Today a little introduction, just to give you a rough idea of our tour's route and protagonists:

We arrived in Mexico City (Tuesday 17), stayed there for a day (Wednesday) and then left for Chiapas, Mexico's southernmost province, where we spent the bulk of our trip (Thursday-Monday). Then we stayed in Huatulco at the beach (Tuesday-Thursday). From there we travelled to Guadalajara where we stayed the rest of the time (Friday-Sunday) and from where we flew back (Monday 30).

Actually we had also considered visiting a friend in Guernavaca and stay with friends of Jacaranda in the cities of Oaxaca and Morelia (all on the map) - but dropped these plans because time was simply too limited.

The European travellers: Kinga and I.
