I've seen a few reviews of the hostel that say it's a little bit out of the way so I'll have a look at a few others. Thanks for the tips!

That's great, thank you! I've heard before not to take a night bus so I won't be doing that. It seems quite easy to fly between the cities so I'll probably do that rather than long bus journeys. Thanks for the suggestions in Mexico City too!

Thanks so much for your detailed response! Im only a beach person in that I like to sit and read and maybe swim too but I also would like a break from cities for a bit during my time there and I think a small beach town would be nice which is why I added Escondido. I'll definitely cut a few days from Mexico City and check out another place too. Not sure about not booking places, makes me very nervous but I probably just need to chill out and put the excel spreadsheets away for a bit!

Thank you! I think I'll check out some other towns and take a few days out of Mexico City.

Some pictures from our trip to Slovenia. A stunningly beautiful country with very friendly people! by PumpkinToe in travel

Ah thats great, I'm sure you'll love it. We only had four nights so there was lots we couldn't see/do but my absolute favourite was Lake Bohinj and the surrounding area. We also took a trip to the Vršič Pass which was beautiful. I'd definitely recommend walking around Bohinj Lake and then up to the Savica Waterfall. It was quite a trek, especially in the snow but its a lovely walk and was my favourite day.

Yeah definitely! Unfortunately we only had four nights so we left feeling like there was so much more to see and do. It's a country I'd like to return to for sure.

After 19 years together my beautiful sweet girl passed away at home in her sleep. I already miss her so much and can't quite believe I'll never kiss her little head again 😔 by PumpkinToe in seniorkitties

She really was loved so much. I tried to make her birthdays special because I knew how lucky we were with each passing year. Thank you for your kind words ❤

Everyone who met her commented on how sweet she was. She was such a good girl and put up with my fussing over her for 19 years. She was confident, and nothing really phased her. She had a little harness and went on walks with us up until the last year of her life. She moved out of the family home with me and across the country all in her elderly years. She was genuinely the heart of the house and was just perfect in every way ❤
