GOODBYE MEX
BUT FIRST, TEQUILA
Playa Chica was a dream come true. But the dream also came with hundreds of mosquito bites, some sunburn and sand. Sand everywhere.

PLAYA CHICA
One month into the Mexico Surf Safari and there hadn't really been all that much surf.

Unsure whether we had too much weight, we crawled out of the carpark of our accommodation in Mexico City and prayed that the cars would make it out of the city for the start of our roadtrip.

THE ROUND-UP
MEXICO CITY
‘Yeah yeah yeah mate just come to Mex and fang it around with us for a few months, she’ll be right’. This was pretty much our pitch to Harry, Paige, Mylene, Eleanor, Ben and Laura as we convinced them to come to Mexico to buy some cars and have a dope time.
