It wasn’t all language schools and driving, you know. Mexico’s beautiful, and these are my favourite shots of about two months in the country. Click here for the slideshow goodness.

Out of Mexico, into Oaxaca. Once again, we get “hilariously” lost and test out our mediocre Spanish on underserving locals. Also: the best language school in Mexico, the most welcoming B&B, and what do tarantulas like to do when it’s cold? Get sociable with people, of course. Click here to real all.

The world’s largest, and some would say, most dangerous city on Earth is in Mexico. We visited and mostly were at risk from dying of hypothermia, because what no-one tells you is that it gets pretty nippy in the winter. Click here to see what you should do if you ever get there, and to read an account of what will happen if you’re fool enough to drive there.

Bit of a break there, eh? Anyway, if you’re driving from the US into Mexico, this is what you need to know about the potentially-tricky border crossing. Also, the best hotel in Acapulco, a very weird Christmas, and the reason that pleasant holidays make for terrible travel writing. Not that there’s any in here.
