Acuario Tulum

My bus from Playa Del Carmen to Tulum dropped me off in what I thought was Tulum. Well when I asked the driver in my **** spanish was this Tulum he said yes. What I should have asked was whether this was Tulum centro. Anyway after the bus had left I found that my hostel was located at Tulum Centro which was a 2 kilometer walk up the road. This wasn't a highlight of my trip as it was stinking hot (at around 1pm) and incredibly humid, plus I had my backpack. When I arrived in what I ...

Malgré le climat, j´en ai parcouru des km.

1. Coban ou j´ai passé 2 jours avec une famille maya kek´chi dans la foret de nuages (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_for est). Pas d´eau courante, pas d´electricite. je ne sais toujours pas exactement comment se compse la famille : 10-12 personnes, je crois mais pas facile d´y voir clair ! Ce qui est ...

... the ruins were very interesting. I took lots of photos and will post them when I can.  We are going to go back to Buenos Ares the steak house for dinner tonight and I am looking forward to it.  Tomorow we dive in the Cenotes agian.  Dinner last night wasnt as good as I hoped, I had an esouphageal impaction on my third bite and that kinda ruined the rest of my night.  The cenotes ...

... in a tomato sauce, empanadas with salsa and guacamole, and lots of fresh corn tortillas to scoop everything up with. It was all so delicious, and by then we were so hungry, that we all had second helpings.



After stuffing ourselves, we traveled into the town of Coba, and ancient Mayan capital, that spread over 70 sq. km, between 200 BC and 1400 AD. Of the entire complex of ruins, only 1% has been excavated! Our guide explained ...

... in Mexico in downtown Cancun. After Merida it was nice to have hot showers, a clean stink-free bathroom and some normal people. Downtown Cancun has the feel of a Mexican town with some western influences. It reminded me a lot of a Spanish Island town. The more famous hotel zone is about 5 miles away on a sand bar in the ocean. The strip is about 8 or 10 miles of hotels and is so catered for American tourists that the cash ...

... the proximity to all of the Cancun and Cozumel cruise ships, Tulúm gets it's fair share of tourists. So, it really should not have surprised me that my beloved Castillo in Tulúm was now off-limits to my itchy feet. It just really irritates me that cities which have survived over a thousand years of hurricanes, tropical storms, invasions, later overtaken by jungle, then finally rediscovered by man in an attempt to understand and learn from his past are ...

... cliffs within the site. To get there you go from the parking (30 pesos for the whole day) through a small shopping parade with all sorts of tiny souvenir shops to small cafes and restaurants. You have to walk to the site's entrance or you can take a ride on this funky train on wheels. we walked there, it's not a long walk, maybe about 1 km. Site entrance is on your left ...

... fruit for breakfast and finding cheap sandwich places. Everywhere you go there are Dos para uno cervezas for about 30 pesos. Not a bad deal, beer is definitely a budget buster. For our last night all together we went out to dinner, i had some excellent Chorizo, potato quesadillas. I hope all is well at home, It seems like i have been gone forever haha. Take care and let me know how you are all doing. Hasta Tarde, Geoff

... culprits fess up. Angela yells out, "let´s just each of us give him a dollar so we can go." Then I, the more mature one, yell out, "does anyone know the way to Mexico? Let´s just drive ourselves." I don´t like being held hostage. Finally someone gives him a 20 dollar bill and we are on our way again. I´m learning to hate Belize. But then I think about it. That $20 was probably the guys pay for the ...

... catching up with friends, trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to study spanish, eating all my favorite food, spending a night at Lake Atitlan and buying a ton of great handbags. Upon arriving at the airport, I waded through a river of mostly obnoxious tourists going through immigration (welcome to cancun!!). Cheers to the authorities for having a good process down -- there were seriously hundreds and hundreds of people in line and I got through in about 20 minutes. Next, I`m ...
