Oh damn. This likely means we will not get to meet you in Cancun for Christmas. Too bad, we were quite looking forward to a CycleBlaze meetup. Hope your flights home are smoothly arranged and you find the omicron to be less problematic than feared. Perhaps our paths will cross again sometime soon.

2 years agoLike Andrea, I too immediately thought of you two when they started announcing travel bans. Good luck!
2 years agoThat really puts it into perspective, doesn't it? I hope all goes well for you. There are worse places to be stuck in than the Yucatan but it's better if it's by choice rather than necessity. We left Thailand in late January of 2020 and it felt like gates closing behind us all the way home, an unsettling feeling. Of course we had no idea at the time the scale this pandemic would take. Knock on wood we've stayed healthy so far, and I hope you two will also.
2 years agoThanks Andrea. We're a bit frazzled and rather tired at the moment after a restless night. But when we think of the poor folk stuck in Belarus trying to get into Poland we realise how insignificant our "problem" really is. Hopefully we will get new from Lufthansa tomorrow as to whether we can fly back to SA or not.
2 years agoI immediately thought of you two when we heard the news on Friday about the Omicron variant. Many kudos to the South African scientists that first identified it. Let's hope it is neither more virulent, infectious, or virus-resistant. Good luck!
2 years agoWonderful additions to your collection. Great pictures.
2 years agoEither common or scientific names. The ol' internal "computer" has either lost some connections or overfilled memory... :-( I remember the days when I could remember a name of a critter or plant the first time I heard & saw it. Visual learner back then... almost photographic, but now... not so much. I guess my complaining is kinda stupid when I see other folks my age and younger barely able to care for themselves physically or mentally.
2 years agoIf you are referring to the formal (scientific) names, I look those up !
2 years agoIt's been over 10 years since we've been to Uxmal but I remember it being very peaceful. I'm looking forward to your report on your next stop at the eco-lodge as I was just looking at planning an overnight bike trip there. Happy travels and great photos.
2 years agoGreat photos! Wish I could remember all the names!
2 years agoStunning pictures. Thank you!
2 years agoI can't believe how many of these bicycle taxis are on the streets in the little towns through which we pass. Some of the passengers look as if they would benefit from getting out and walking a bit.
2 years agoThis is just the shot that Google Maps gives for Tenabo, except zoomed in, which misses the interesting bikes.

Hi Steve. Flights confirmed for Friday so we have a long wait here in Cancun. Will try and do some tourist stuff in between boxing bikes etc. It's a real pity we have missed one another. Perhaps another time and place ? Travel safely.
