I am currently drafting this post on the plane from Singapore back home to Melbourne. It’s so hard for me to succinctly summarise the rest of my trip after bangkok but I will start by finishing up on the thailand content.
We split the rest of our time in Thailand between Koh Samui and Krabi, both of which were incredibly beautiful. Given that Koh Samui content has already been tumbled by Bella, I’ll just briefly add some of my fav photos from that time.

Ao Nang/Krabi was one of my favourite places we stayed in Thailand. We stayed in a beautiful private bungalow and got included breakfast every morning which is always a slay. We spent two nights there and both nights we went to a night market that had incredible food. The most memorable was this garlicky peppery pad see ew that both Bella and I were obsessed with. We went on an incredible boat tour around some nearby islands and saw some absolutely stunning beaches, went snorkelling, saw a shrine of penises and met a really sweet danish family and some funky monkeys. It was quite touristy but also relaxing at the same time!

My favourite thing about Thailand was the food which was just fabulous, but the beaches and the weather were also so great!! I can’t wait to return because there is still so much I feel like I need to see. Also Thailand has kinda slay gay/ally vibes so we love that for her (pic of me under the lanterns shows my happiness) 🏳️‍🌈

I’ll eventually get to vietnam but I’m still processing its magnificence. Hope you’re all well 🥰

Mexico 
Mexico was an absolute whirlwind and for that reason I would love to return to delve deeper into it, see more, and get a slightly more rounded experience, however I still loved my time there. A combination of cheap flights, and wanting to be in Cancun on Saturday night, meant my trip was pretty oddly organised on the face of it. I began with two nights in a hostel in the centre of Mexico City. It was an odd place to arrive the first night. I was immediately stuck by the number of police, standing on practically every street corner. It found it hard to decide if this made me feel safer or not! The Spanish also felt very different from what I had become accustomed to in Peru. Much harsher, and with less personal sympathy for my inadequacies. I found a cheap bar and had an early night. I was also fairly annoyed at myself for making a mistake I had already made on my trip, of picking a massive hostel more suited to school trips. You may remember this happened to me in Sydney. I think my only thought was the great experience at the Buenos Aires hostel, which was also fairly big. Luckily my room which I had to myself the first night, shared a bathroom with another adjoining room, where Will and Alicia were staying. They were from California and Texas respectively, and I spent the next day wondering around the city with them. 
On day two myself and Will went on a free walking tour the hostel had put on, though sadly it was probably the worst I’ve done. Which is saying something as Christchurch was pretty awful. Mexico had so much to offer, but we were taken to the government building, which housed the department for education I think. To its credit all 3 floors had some pretty impressive murals on all the walls, however we were convinced our tour guide was purely interpreting them in his own way, like we could ourselves, as opposed to delivering actual knowledge. Will and I bugged him with more questions than he was wanting, and I seem to remember he eventually told us that there is actually very little written about the murals, so he has a difficult job. At this point we thought it best to leave the tour and forge our own path through the chaos. We walked through a market for a bit before meeting Alicia, who come to think of it may have only flown in that morning. We had a few drinks, before going up Mexico city’s tallest building, which had some pretty decent panoramic views, despite the smog. Anyone that knows me, and certainly anyone that has been reading this blog, will be well aware that I love a good view. What in a somewhat pathetic way really thrills me, is that these views have been unbelievably varied over the trip. Highlights would be the night hike in Hong Kong, one of my favourite skylines of the trip. A week later I was on Koh Samui off the Thailand coast, riding a scooter up a hill to see sunset over the beach. Then there’s of course New Zealand, where the treks were absolutely awe inspiring. Santiago’s funicular did a pretty decent job, and now I was looking across the chaotic sprawl of what was once the world’s most populated city. We spent that evening looking for a bar with little success. Myself and Will were sent in the direction of couple of Mexico’s hip/bar areas, and as we aimlessly walked through the streets we were met with little success. One of my biggest disappointments of Mexico was failing to find these areas, and hopefully I’ll be able to link up with a local when I next visit. We still had more luck than an Australian guy in our hostel, who from mishearing one letter of a place name, had ended up in the city’s gay quarter, which he made clear to us was not his intention. 
The next day I did a much improved walking tour of the city. It was actually more like a lesson in the history of the nation, illustrated by buildings and monuments, but did a good job of demonstrating how the city was formed, and the tour guide was excellent, I then flew to Cancun that evening. Mexico city’s airport look very central on the map, but the traffic can mean you actually have to leave 45 minutes for the 5 mile journey if going at peak times. As soon as I landed 2 hours later in Cancun I was hit by the wall of heat. This was not as bad as Austin turned out to be, but was still a step up from the city. I walked the 5 minute trip to my hostel and checked in. The hostel had looked pretty amazing both on the website and by the reviews, and it was one of my favourites of the trip. It was laid out very similarly to the ‘Love Island’ villa, a reference I’m not sure all readers of this blog will be able to relate to. There was also the added bonus of free dinner and breakfast, both of which were excellent. The pool was also great to cool off, and as a social aspect. My hope in Cancun was to meet a load of Americans. Mostly because I’ve had a good time with them so far, and I assumed it was where a lot of them come for the summer. It was then a bit of a shock when I joined a circle of chairs to find that the hostel was about 75% British and Irish. I’m still not sure why this was the case, given Mexico is a <3 hour flight from so many large American cities. I don’t remember all the names, but I got along well with another Will, who had been schooled in Dubai, but was about to go to Bristol University to do Medicine. I also met Sabrina, who was I think a trainee primary school teacher from San Francisco. I had thought I’d go out that night, it being Friday, though it seemed there was a pattern of big nights, and no nights. Thursday had been a big one for most people at the hostel, and I was fairly happy to settle for an early night. 
Breakfast was probably the best I’ve had from any hostel. This poor cook stood in an absolute sweat box of a kitchen, and was happy to cook you omelettes with your choice of filling, subway style. We went to the beach that day with a few others, I’m struggling with names but I can always remember nationalities. At times it annoyed and confused Americans when I would refer to them as Colorado, Arizona, Seattle or Buffalo, but it’s what always sticks with me, over the names themselves. So in this case there was a Dutch and a German girl, as well as an extremely irritating French-Canadian who went by the name of Swanny. He spent a considerable amount of time telling us about the factories he owns in China, while being a waiter at college. I’ve learnt not to question these people as it’s just not worth the effort. After a day at the beach where I probably burnt, we did go for a big night out at a club called ‘The City’. The hostel did an all-inclusive deal that got you transport (which turned out to be 50 cents…) entry to the club, your own table, and an open bar. I was shocked to find out this would cost $50. I had budgeted for far less, but I guess you have to remember that these institutions are solely serving tourists, and are American owned. A few of us briefly considered finding our own ‘locals outlet’, but then realised with no knowledge of the local area, little Spanish, and with the hostel organising the main night, we might as well just do it as a one off experience. I’m sure there’ll be some pictures in this, but it was pretty incredible. As the largest club in Central and South America it was just enormous, and more like an arena than a club. Safe to say I can’t remember a huge amount of this night past the initial amazement the size. I did for an unknown reason choose to jump in the pool when we returned to the hostel at about 4 in the morning. For this I was told to leave the premises or go to bed. Soaking wet, I sat outside for a while and I think dried off while dozing off to sleep. Later in the morning at about 5 I think Will turned up outside in an uber. I remember he left pretty early in the night. What made little sense was that on closer examination his uber had departed from a few hundred metres away from Cancun Airport. He had no clue how he’d ended up there, it’s about a 30 minute drive from the club. One theory is that he fell asleep on a bus going the wrong direction but I’m still not sure. 
The next day we visited Playa Delphinas, an absolutely stunning beach with picture perfect white sand and turquoise waters. Following the pattern, it was another quiet night, bar a beer pong tournament. I knew my success in this field had peaked back in Buenos Aires with Roy, so chose to sit this one out. The next day was a flight back to the city. I told you it was a bit of a mad trip. I’m not sure what I think of Cancun. I’m sure if you stay in one of the many resorts it can be a lovely place to holiday, but I’m not it has anything you wouldn’t possibly find cheaper in Europe. The issue is that the whole town is run on its tourists, and so finding Mexican prices, which was possible in the capital, was not here. I would possibly give it another go, but would prefer to see the nearby Tulum, or the pyramids at Chichen Itza. Having already ticked off 2 of the modern wonders on this trip (Great Wall of China and Machu Picchu) I was gutted not to have time to make the day trip to the Yucatan. 
On my return to the City I had booked a hotel for two nights. I had the money spare and it was only $25 a night. What I didn’t know, was that I was to be upgraded to the room with a huge Jacuzzi.. This was unbelievable news, and a situation I was desperate to share. I met up with Will, and Alicia that evening who were still at our hostel, and we played drinking games with a load of Dutch guys that evening before being kicked out. The next day I was pleased most of our group, plus some German girls and Israeli guys fancied visiting the pyramids of Teotihuacan. This partly made up for missing Chichen Itza. We could have done with a guide book as the Wikipedia page was fairly useless, as was the signage. We hung on the back of a couple of tour groups, but concluded that these guides went a lot slower, and in far more detail than we would have liked. It was built and largely functioned between 100 and 700AD. A lot of it was destroyed in the 6th Century. I think the story loosely goes that the Mayans built it and lived there, before the Aztecs decided they liked the look of it, and defeated the Mayans to take it. It is a hub for Archaeologists and I think still has a lot to be found. There’s a lot of controversy over the fact the dividing president Diaz somewhat rebuilt it in 1910 when he was trying to make Mexico City like the cultural capitals of Europe, and he may of destroyed some of the original stonework. Wikipedia also claims to me now that the government agreed on some proposals to build a Walmart there before they were defeated by UNESCO. That night those of us that went to the pyramids, along with a couple of English girls who moved in that evening, ended up back at my room in the hotel, with some drinks. Once you’ve seen a photo of the size of the jacuzzi, it would feel stupid to keep it to myself. In the morning having had very little sleep, I flew into the heat wall that was Austin.
