    It’s well & truly Autumn. The nights are drawing in a lot earlier, the leaves are starting to turn and there is a certain chill in the morning air. I’m one of those people that has a love/hate relationship with Autumn. It’s my birthday soon & I love all the celebrations that come in the latter part of the year but the lack of sunshine and daylight is not something that appeases me. There is something good that comes from the cooler months though and it’s the start of a winter wardrobe. It’s kind of like a full refresh of my closet because the big jumpers come out and layers start appearing, there’s things I uncover that I forgot I had.

    Valladolid Street

    I’m not going to lie to you, this post isn’t going to be filled with many words, it’s mainly about the beautiful street scenes I managed to capture whilst we stopped for a whistle stop tour of Valladolid, Mexico, after visiting the fascinating Chichen Itza and the Hubiku Cenote (click the links to read more!). It was a chance for us to have a stretch during our three hour trip back to the hotel and just enough time to get ourselves a coconut ice cream from one of the cutest ice cream bicycles from the town square. It was great to finally see a fully functional, working town in Mexico.

    Travel Supermarket Paella 2Edit

    Back in August I was invited to the International Street Food Challenge with Travel Supermarket‏, but sadly due to work commitments and my then upcoming holiday to Mexico, I couldn’t get my butt down to Shoreditch for this amazing event. I was super sad because it combined my love for all things travel and also some scrumptious food from street style vendors too. A whopping fifth of Brits decide on their holiday destination all down to the cuisine that is offered at the hotel or resort. That’s a staggering amount so it’s plain to see why local’s want to make sure that their food is up to scratch! Luckily, because I couldn’t head down Travel Supermarket wanted me to try and create one of the dishes that was on offer at the event.

    Wishing Well Hubiku

    You may have read about our tour of Chichen Itza in my last Mexico blog post, so I see you are hungry for more. Part deux of this little trip, you might say? Okay, okay, they speak Spanish over there not French, but you catch my drift. As part of our Chichen Wonders tour with Thomson Holidays we also got to visit two more places, one of which was Hubiku, home to the popular Hubiku Cenote & the Tequila Museum, Mexico. It was in the mad heat of the day and after a whistle stop tour of the buffet dinner at Kin Restaurant, it was time to jump in to the cool waters of this natural sink hole.

    Chichen Itza

    To say I fell in love with Mexico would be an understatement. We are talking about being head over heels, lustful affair with the god darn country. She is a beautiful place. From the smiling people you meet on every corner she greets you with, to the paradise-like, palm tree laden white shores that allow you to lay back and pretty much forget every bit of trouble you may have back home – I think I have found a little piece of heaven on the Riviera Maya, but then again I know that it isn’t a secret. Venture outside of the hotels and you get a glimpse in to the Mayan culture that’s hidden beyond the jungle. When creating a list of top things we would like to do when visiting Mexico in our very short week, Chichen Itza was the top of the list to explore.
