I klättrade upp för trapporna och insåg snabbt att den var jobbigare att klättra uppför än vad det såg ut, jag var väl värd vilan på toppen. Jag gick ner igen och gick upp på Månens Pyramid också. Man kan inte lämna klättringsbara saker oklättrade. <br ...

... shops......Lo and behold!!! this was after telling each other that we wouldn't do anymore shopping....again!! We also made lots of friends around the hotel.....mainly old mexican waiters and old couples though!!! But they were normally nicer than the motley crew of Americans that were holidaying in our hotel!!! We actually spent one day sneaking around the hotel to avoid several 'jolly' Americans that wanted our 'company'....and we also had to fight off ...

There's definitely not much in the way of sights or culture here, but it is a great place to just relax during the day, and party at night, which is pretty much all we did for a couple of days!
