We then headed on down to San Louis Potosi, where we spent a rather lonely Christmas, surrounded by the town’s beautiful cathedrals and colonial architecture.
With New Years in mind, we made our next destination Puerto Vallarta. While the beaches were a little too covered in sunburnt Americans and the night life resembled Jersey Shore a little too closely for our likings, we discovered Planeta Vegetariano – my very favourite Mexican eatery!
Yearning for something a little less touristy, we made our way back up to Sayulita where we spent a few days enjoying the beach, hiking and celebrating the new year!
We made Urupan our next destination so as to climb the spectacular active volcano! It was a rather difficult task, involving hours of scrambling over mountains of lava before we even reached the volcano! The volcano itself, and view from the top, however, was well worth the climb!
Thus marked the end of our first two weeks of Mexican travel and the end of our time together as a little threesome. Next stop: Mexico City!
