Hotel And Bungalows Mayaland Chichén Itzá

... dried shrimps, Christmas lights, raw ducks.......In the end I stopped and had some lunch from a stall as I needed the energy to carry on fighting my way out of the place. Eventually some kid on a sweet stall who had probably seen me walk past about seven times told me to go through the shoes (about half a kilometre of them) and hang a left and bingo - I have never been so happy to see a Metro station in my life.<br><br>On Saturday I decided to stay away from the smoggy city centre ...

... vestiti in modo macabro tipo Halloween, i bambini ci provano con "dolcetto o scherzetto", ci sono venditori di cibarie in ogni dove.<br>Ho visto una mostra interessante sulla storia dell'inquisizione, allestita all'interno del vero palazzo che fu dell'inquisizione, attuale facoltà di medicina-radiodiagnostica. Anche se in spagnolo ho compreso quasi tutta la narrazione dell'audioguida; la chiesa ce l'ha sempre avuta la mania del controllo e dell'annichilimento del pensiero ...

... drinking tequila out of the bottle and watching friends (one of the<br>only things on TV not in Espanol) <br><br><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><br><br>So we stayed in that hotel for 2 nights, then came back to Merida. I got yet another tattoo<br>from Alejandro, and then we went on the Itsa Chicken tour, which was a good<br>day. We left at 9am, in a minibus full of Mexican&#8217;s then swapped once we were<br>at the sight into a group with 2 other older Americans ...

... pool which I chased around with my video camera for a bit too!! <br><br>Then we wandered off to the big posh hotel over the road where there was a cenote and had a cocktail in their bar.<br> <br><br>We had dinner at the hotel, which was deserted, and retired to our room and spent the rest of the evening watching Green Mile on the telly. <br><br>We also had a little visitor in the room... <br><br><br><br><br>

... a briliant Mayan chess set, $12 with carved stone figures. I beat him down from $18, so it at least felt like a bargain, although it is mighty heavy. The last few days in Mexico City were spent with Shannon, my Kiwi buddy and a Dutch girl called Jori. We visited the zoo 3 times, ate a whole lot of tacos and sampled all the local ale. My last day came and at 5pm, i headed to the airport and farewelled Mexico and Headed to San Francisco to see Sabrina... yay

It was another gorgeous day that was spent visiting the most famous of all the Maya sites, Chichen Itza, which last year was named one of the new 7 wonders of the world. But having since visited the Maya ruins of Uxmal and Palenque I found Chichen Itza to be sitting behind these in the pecking order. I arrived early and spent 3 hours looking round the site which I thought was ample time. The most impressive areas of the site were ...

... bytte plads, så skulle jeg nok køre mens han så TV. - Jeg ved ikke hvor meget han forstod af det, men han så ikke mere TV på den tur.<br>Jeg residerer nu på Piramide Inn ganske kort fra Chichén Itza. Da jeg var den sidste i bussen, blev jeg sandelig kørt lige til døren af min nu ikke længere TV kiggende chauffør-ven. Chichén Itza blev for nylig kåret som et af den nyere tids syv underværker. Noget der godt kan undre lidt, når man lige kommer fra Teotihuacan ved Mexico City ...

... Miguel left, he also told me to be very careful on the way up to the top because he didn't want to have any human sacrifices today. haaha!! He also told us to make 4 wishes touching the piece of metal at the top of the pyramid before leaving today. I did do that, so i hope they come true. As we progressed to the top of the pyramid we stoped at each of the 3 levels and walked around it. The views all the way around this pyramid is ...

Er was meant to be here one night but STA Travel ****ed up my itinery and i got ******, so i had to stay longer, such a shame considering it meant i had to meet some more really cool people in one of the best cities i had been 2....
