My time in Mexico has come to an end. I travel to my next destination shortly. I will miss this beautiful country, as I always do when it’s time to leave. The lovely Mexican people I have met along the way have made my time here so special. This post is dedicated to them. Some …
I was thinking today on my morning walk, it has almost been four months since I left home and began this journey. That started me wondering about what I have used the most, or found the most useful thus far. My 5 best Amazon travel finds so far are a backpack, packing cubes, travel wrist …
Readers will know of my obsession with doors by now. On my daily walks about town, I also photograph other aspects of homes. Today’s post will showcase the beautiful windows, doors & stairs in PV. Now granted, Puerto Vallarta is a huge city. I have barely scratched the surface of exploring this city on foot. …
One of my favourite things about Puerto Vallarta is the Malecon boardwalk. This beautiful walkway stretches from the Hotel Rosita to just past the Pier at Playa Los Muertos. Starting at the hotel, are a number of amazing sculptures on the Malecon that perfectly showcase the talent in this vibrant city. The Malecon in Puerto …
One of the reasons I love Mexico is the uninhibited use of bright vivid colours everywhere you look. It makes the environment feel lively and jovial and just so darn happy. The amazing murals all around Puerto Vallarta are one of the aspects adding to this city’s beauty. I never tire of walking around and …
I love shopping for food. Period. Whether its from a market, corner store, road side stand, or large grocery supermarket. Everywhere I travel, I always, without fail, visit at least one large grocery store. La Comer in Fluvial, the best grocery in town, is one such large store, not to be missed when visiting Puerto …
We all know how much I love markets. There are no shortage of them in Mexico. If I wanted, I would be able to visit a different one every day of the week! The Three Hens & A Rooster market at the Rio Cuale in Puerto Vallarta takes place on Saturdays through high season. If …
I have been visiting Puerto Vallarta for the last five years. Each time I’m in the city, I take a long stroll out to the Marina. When there, I usually see one of the crocs in the water. However at the Thursday Market this past week, I saw 2 massive crocodiles at the Marina! It …
We all know by now how much I adore markets! I will always try and visit one where ever I travel and usually more than once. 🙂 Puerto Vallarta has several markets, one is the Thursday Night Market in the Marina. The marina market has many of the same vendors as the Lazaro Cardenas Saturday …
I’m back in Puerto Vallarta!! From the moment my driver dropped me off, I have felt almost giddy, I’m back in my happy place. 🙂 I am staying in a new to me neighbourhood, not in the tourist area. So far, I can tell you I love it! Today I went to the Tianguis Libramiento …
I took the bus from Sayulita to San Pancho for a day trip. Wow, I was absolutely impressed by this little town. San Pancho, a big slice of paradise that I had been looking for, and have now found. The main bus stop in Sayulita is on Av Revolucion. Inside is a ticket booth where …
How can I not make a post about the most elemental part of Sayulita? The biggest reason visitors used to flock to this little town was for surfing. Walking around the streets, visible signs of the surfing vibe are everywhere. I have compiled a post of my best photo’s of a surfing town. Besides actually …
Every town and city I have travelled to in Mexico has an abundance of extraordinary murals painted in all parts of town, the tourist areas and the residential areas. Sayulita I have to say is the odd ball here. There are murals, but they are few and far between. Let’s have a look at Sayulita’s …
I have written posts about the other three main neighbourhoods in Sayulita being North End, South End and Gringo Hill. But I haven’t yet dedicated a post showcasing the area where most visitors will be spending their time. Downtown Sayulita is bursting with Life! Downtown is where the action is, restaurants are and definitely is …
Most tourists who visit this little surfing town will rent a scooter or more likely a golf cart to get around town. Especially if they are staying outside the downtown core. However the North American immigrants who reside here, have some pretty rad vehicles. VW bugs & buses, the best rides in Sayulita that match …
I love shopping. So many things catch my eye from artwork to food products. Walking around a new area can take so long for all the stops and starts, for there are always things I must look at! 😊 Tempting shopping in downtown Sayulita has been both interesting and surprising. There is quite a varying …
There are four main areas that make up the largest portion of the town of Sayulita, Mexico. They are Downtown, Gringo Hill, North End and South End. Today I was checking out North End & Nanzal in Sayulita. It was leg workout day, that’s for sure! 🙂 Av. del Palmar is one long road that …
The travelling carnival is in town this week, its been so fun to see what rides and games are available. It’s Sayulita Days, diggin’ the carnival every night of the week here. The games are interesting and popular, while the rides are definitely old school, bright, loud and clunky. It is the first time I …
If South beach is just too busy for you and you have already spent time on North beach, there is another place close to town. Looking for a hidden beach to explore? Playa de Los Muertos, Sayulita’s secret beach is just a hop skip and a jump from town. There are two routes to this …
Today is February 24th, that means it is a special day for Mexico! This morning we all gathered for a celebration in Sayulita, Happy Flag Day! On this day every year since 1937, the Mexican people honour their beautiful flag and everything that it represents. I went for a walk this morning, down to the …
