MEXICO From Tijuana to Mazatlan, Guadalajara, Mexico D.F. to Veracruz and than by bus to Guatemala. In the moment you cross the US-Mexico border, everything is changing. Animals on the road, dead or alive. Pick ups are overloaded and keep smiling faces. You expect sun but now it starts to heavily rain. We meet Christl & Veit from Berlin, now again a party of 5. Guadalajara is our next Mexican City trip. Art and History all over the place. The region is not prepared for El niño. Our Christmas party is unforgettable. A beach house in Mazatlan. Tecate and „German Stollen“. New Year’s eve inside a restaurant, an amazing evening. We are heading now to Morelia. Music is in town. The Hostels are beautifully colored, the people super friendly. Through a Mountain area looking for butterflys. A rough road and a toll we have to pay to a man with Sombrero to see an amazing spot. We cross a little creek and walk up hill. Millions of Monarch Butterflies in Sierra Chincua, arriving from Canada. Most amazing place ever. No, I do not want to see a dentist. But it would be cheap. No Parking Rules in Mexico. A nasty car defect in Tequila and a guy gets parts from somewhere. 2 hours later we are good again for 8 $. Zocaló in Mexico D.F. People raising their voices. Tula 100 BC the Aztecs started to build it with 125.000 people living there. The avenue of the death. To the left there is the moon pyramid. On top of the pyramid. Teotihuacan Most buildings burned down 550 AC. Farewell from Veit and Christl who fly back to Germany. Now it is us again, and we need to solve the Van topic. In Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico we need to decide on the Van. Guido will drive 1000km to Texas to sell it. A Motel owner is our best buddy. Pavel from Russia buys the Van for 700 $. Now back into the bus to the 2 girls who are waiting. Corinna & Katja are changing the Hotel, hard to find them but we make it. Now Van life is over and we are backpackers into Central America.
