It’s been raining in Sydney on and off all day today so I retreated inside to a job I have been procrastinating about, sorting through some old photographs. I thought sharing these blue skies could be an antidote to the bulging black clouds I can see threatening to spill any minute. After all, it’s almost … More Shaking it off with Vitamin D in Byron Bay
I think the world under the surface is special and worth sharing. Over the last few days I have been swimming and snorkeling in many places in and around the Barrier Reef. Many of which were protected reefs, but even so in places there is visible damage to the corals and only juvenile fish. Didn’t … More Underwater world
And exhale. Not that I was tightly strung, far from it, but we decided to leave Caye Caulker by boat and sail south over a few days to Placencia in southern Belize. Tough gig. As luck would have it, there was meant to be another 4 people on on the boat but they dropped out, … More Drifting South
Have just spent a great few days in Tulum. Easily a highlight of beachside stops so far. If you like your beaches without offers of “parasailing Mamm?” but instead “fresh mango, pineapple or papaya senorita? ” this is the one for you. At times, it almost had that Thai island vibe, but perhaps thats the … More Chilling out in Tulum
Thought it might be time for abit of a map to give you a sense of where I am. While I have been having a great time on the beaches and waters of Baja, I know that I have only had a glimpse of what this part of Mexico can offer. I have just finished … More Time to leave the beach
Let me think of one word to describe my days at La Ventana……. blissful! This area is popular with kiteboarders and windsurfers and my original idea when coming here was to try windsurfing. The weather had other plans and there was no good wind so instead, mornings were for yoga and paddleboarding and the afternoons … More The simple life……..
The bus journey here proved a bit of a mission, inclusive of 2 hours walking around the the town of La Paz with pigeon spanish and dictionary looking for a bus stop. But I got here, La Ventana and woke up to this. I have just finished a great yoga class. No better way to … More Chilling out
I mentioned the reason I have come to Mexico is go see Copper Canon, however as always there’s no fun in going directly there so I am in Baja California for some beach time first. My days here in Cabo San Lucas have been very simple and generally horizontal. Not sure there is a much nicer … More Back to the beach
October in Ireland, so unsurprising that a day at the beach requires being wrapped up warm. No bikinis here. Was particularly gloomy and gusty today but good to stretch the legs and blow the cobwebs away. I took these pictures below in Enniscrone, a seaside town a few minutes from my house. The beach is … More Waking up to sea salt
