After two meals of rather strange tasting meat, I have decided to ‘change course’ and go vegetarian! (millions of people can’t be wrong).

“Sharks?” I said. “Stingrays?” “Yes, but they won’t hurt you,” answered my guide. “They’re only small – no more than 6 feet.” “Six feet,” I wanted to scream. “That’s taller than me!’ But I couldn’t lose face and as this was a complimentary snorkel, I had to do it.

When they said: ´Be careful walking in Mexico City at night´ – I took a cab from the airport. When they said: ´Mexican men love blondes and will throw themselves at you´ – I reverted back to being a brunette. But within 24 hours of landing within Mexico City, both had happened!
