Mexican Adventure – Part 2

A Month in Mexico: A Journey of Family, Food, and Firsts I’d say I spent the first two weeks of my month-long trip adjusting to Mexico… in so many different ways. All my usual schedules and routines went out the window. By week three, my stomach had finally settled, and I was able to tolerate […]

Mexican Adventure – Part 1

Finally, the day had come. After months of talking about it and a bit of planning, I left Bournemouth for my mammoth journey to Xalapa (pronounced Ha-La-Pa). I was to visit Joel for a month in Mexico to meet his new family and my grandson! Rio dropped me off at Bournemouth bus station at 09:30 […]

WALX goes Snowshoeing.

On a wet weekend in January when everyone is over their Christmas colds and just about given up on the New year’s resolutions, 15 WALXers headed off for an adventure in the French Alps. Half of us had left a few days earlier to explore Turin for the weekend whilst the other half trained it, […]

After spending a couple of weeks walking and exploring the Cabo de Gato desert we were close to our destination of the southeast coast of Spain and the main City of Almeria. To get to Almeria we took a coast road to explore the coastline intending to stop at the town that the natural park […]

Calpe

Spending time with family is one of life’s biggest pleasures. And this week we had lots of fun with Rio, Hamish, Bear and Nely in a pretty but busy resort town called Calpe about 30 mins north of Benidorm. The ‘Broons’ as we call our little family (folks from Scotland will understand) are spending a […]
