... depuis le 1er decembre, date du commencement des festivitees. Les gens arrivent en congregations en chantant et en dansant, en pleurant, parfois deguises comme des azteques. Ils viennent de partout au pays, parfois a pied, pour venir assister a la messe du 12 decembre et demander des faveurs a Marie.

Jai dailleurs marche avec des milliers de pelerins hier soir en direction de la dite montagne, une des nombreuses marches ...

... We were fed dinner of a croissant sandwich, salad, and a dessert and NIck got a free Tecate beer. [Drinkin' Tecate is a must.]
We arrive in Mexico City and I'm thinking I want some caffeine. So, I dig out our bag of pesos and I buy a mocha from Starbucks. Thinking that I was in a secure zone, I could bring my coffee. Alas, I could not and we had to get to our terminal. So, as hot as it ...

... visitato nello Yucatan.
Per un breve momento ci era venuta l'idea di andare a vedre il sito Incas di Teotihuacan, ma non ce l'abbiamo fatta, un'altra escursione da un giorno era decisamente troppo, la stanchezza di 3 settimane fuori casa si faceva sentire.
Siamo andati a vedere Xochimilco, abbiamo fatto la gita in barca nei canali in mezzo alle famiglie messicane. In effetti è una cosa particolare, non è un'invenzione per i turisti, il posto è frequentato dalla popolazione ...

... they are a codeshare with Qantas. We checked in the had to wait for our bags to pass through the scanners as I had locked them and if they wanted to inspect the contents, I needed to be able to open them. We got the all clear and went through the first passport check, then up the escalators to the huge queue waiting for security checks. This is where you have to remove your shoes, belts etc. We head through the scanner and Andrew sets ...

... up the wrong case (you had to walk all your luggage across both borders) and thought she'd seen another fellow with hers, needless to say full of her valuables and now, needless to say, nowhere to be seen. She had his case, he had hers but was now invisble. Unfortunately the rest of us had our luggage and most of us were somewhat incredulous that she'd known she was taking someone else's case across two borders. Talk about a patsy. A couple of us joked she ...

Flying into Mexico City, hang on I've just realised I could not have actually flown into a city, if I had I would either be the first person ever to fly independent of any mechanism or machine or I would have very large bruises because clearly if you fly into a city this big it's going to hurt. So I'll begin again Looking out of the aeroplane window at the vast expanse of Mexico City. (It lacks poetry doesn't it) I was conscious on only one thing ...

... checking our bags in on our flight to LA (it was 10.30am, our flight wasn't till 7.40pm). We headed into the Zocala and again did one of the LP walking tours. Mexico City was great! We started at the Zocala (a massive plaza with amazing buildings around the edges) where something was going on with lots of red, white and green tinsel and the flag of Mexico on one of th buildings. We don't know what was being celebrated, but I will have to find ...

... everyone was in high spirits. So of course time to party. Another great night of partying at the hostel and then out at one of the beach clubs. Ah I love this place. Day 70 At the hostel I had been getting on quite well with a few Dutch lads. So today we decided to hire a little catamaran and sail around on the Carribbean Ocean. Now as I had sailed previously I was nominated as the Skipper, which I rather liked the idea of. So now here I ...

... again). Three nights are planned and then we will leave quite soon to Guatemala because Mexico is much more expensive as we thought. During 1 year the prices in the guidebook nearly doubled for transport and accomodation. We are hoping not to kill our bodys with the new overload of food and liquids (all incusive)and hope to write you more stuff soon. Actually it was as we expected ;-) Nice hotel, food was ok ...
