The End
I am on my way back to the UK. Whilst I was on the journey back from Campeche we had an email from Head Office to say that they were closing the Mexico base, and giving us two weeks to get everything shut down. Things have gone back and forth since then, decisions made and…

Conference in Campeche!
One of our partners Kanan Kay were having an AGM in Isla Arena which is in the North of the Yucatan peninsula, and we were invited. I jumped at the opportunity to get to see a bit more of the area, and off I went!! It took nearly 7 hours to get there in the…

Let’s talk about Cozumel!
An island and municipality in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Cozumel is world-renowned for its scuba diving, in fact Jacques Cousteau named it one of the top 10 dive sites in the world!! Hopefully you remember from previous posts that the Mesoamerican reef system is the second-largest reef system in…

Hi!
It has been a while, and I have so much with which to update you. After injuring my knee I was pretty down in the dumps. It was possibly the most painful injury I have had, certainly in the last ten years, and I found working and looking after the puppies while getting around on…
