Hi, hope your partner got better!
This was definitely a great experience and a country that Id recommend!
Mexico sounds fun too! Definitely on my TODO list, although a bit far for me.

Yes, my partner has recovered, thanks for asking 👍
Worth going to Yucatan if you can get away quickly. The way I did it (as I don't have a regular type of job) was went on this site my friend showed me where you can get massive flight reductions if you're prepared to take a flight like 2-3 days after the time you book.
I think it was https://www.tui.co.uk/flight/deals I looked at, but this was back in 2017 and I ended up getting a return flight (2 weeks stay) to Cancun for £280 because I could pack up and hop on the flight in two days. I'm not sure if the last-min seat filler deals are quite that good now, I've not looked in a long time. But that insanely cheap flight meant could afford 2 days of scuba diving (not a cheap hobby) plus I got to travel the whole length of the Quintana Roo coast and even hopped over the border to Belize for a few days. Then I finished my trip with one of my bucket list, which is to swim with whale sharks. I wrote a poem along with the footage of that experience, it was an awesome day and just before I flew home the following day.
I'd never have been able to afford even half of what I did without that last min flight.
Anyway, I've enjoyed following along with your Rickshaw adventures... and appreciate the reassurance that I'd be able to visit Sri Lanka without blowing my mouth up with the spiciness of the food 😂
A friend of mine visited Sri Lanka years ago and I think he was winding me up when he told me all the food is super spicy. He likes extremely hot food anyway lol
Good luck with making it to Mexico one day, all the best 🙂
P.s. I just checked on that site and you can get a flight from Manchester-Cancun for £415 return (that's for two-week stay) as long as you're prepared to fly out within the next 7 days. Lol, it looks like the old last-minute trick is still working. Given the mental inflation the FED and other countries have been putting on their fiat currencies I think £280 - £415 increase ain't that bad.
