Hotel Playa Kin Ha Tulum

FLUO EST AU MEXIQUE !!

En ce joli Samedi d'Octobre direction la ville voisine de Cuernavaca (1h de Mexico en autobus), dans l'Etat de Morelos. Beaucoup d'habitants du DF (District Federal = ville de Mexico) possčdent une maison secondaire ici oů ils viennent passer les week end et les vacances loin du chaos.

La ville est trčs colorée, il n'y a pas 2 facades de maison de la męme couleur ...

... young population.
Met Elias at the hostel (Hi !) who was very kind and showed me around. Too bad I was too tired to really enjoy the nightclubs...

Next day, my plane for Bogota took off at 3:50pm. I accidentally broke a piece inside the -cheap-plane, and was kindly asked to not destroy it during the flight ^^.

... this evening. While trying to wash his hands he found a 3 inch scorpion right next to the sink. After freaking out for a moment he realized it was actually dead and was providing a nice meal for a swarm of ants.

We are hoping to have a somewhat early night tonight as we have travelled a long time today and are somewhat tired. Tomorrow we will make it out to our final destination before going home. Playa del Carmen.

... pyramids were fascinating, it was just a shame you could see a wall mart when admiring the view from the top.
At the pyramids was a cactus bush bearing fruit. I thought of Balloo the Bear from the jungle book and the prickly pears he had eaten. Balloo was a cool baer so I thought I would try his advice and eat the prickly pear. It was nice, but I ended up getting tiny prickles all over my hands and worse, in my mouth. I couldn’t get them out of my ...

... is a little train that takes you 500 meters which costs a couple of dollars but it's easy enough to walk there and you have to walk around the site anyway once you get there. All the people from the train give me strange looks as they comute past thinking I must be loco.

The site was nice and compact with a mix of religious, and civic buildngs but sadly most of the engravings and statues have been destroyed over time. At times I wish it was ...

Hola! Right, as it is our last day in Mexico, I (Mark) thought it fitting to finally post another blog! We have done an awful lot in the past 10days, and travelled an awful lot of miles too, so please relax, get a cup of tea, and settle down. Starting from where the last post was left: Oaxaca. A lot has been written about Oaxaca...granted it is a pretty town/city, with some superb craft work, but its not the sort of place you could spend a week in. Still....we did have a bit of a coup on ...

... me off at the edge of a beach with little huts spread all around, palm trees and bright white sand. I found the reception desk and there were already people there complaining about toilets and prices and general things. I asked if there was anywhere I could hang my hammack and was told no. I asked if there were any other places I could try on the beach and was told no. So I took my bags and walked back to the road and continued walking right to the end of the ...

... with the first of these ... as I hadn`t heard of the others either until my visit here. Coyoacan is where Trotsky lived when he was in Mexico in the late 1930s after he was exiled from Russia by Stalin. You can visit the "Casa Trotsky" house & go into the very room (the study) where he was murdered with an ice axe to the head when Stalin`s agent caught up with him (he was in the process of writing a book exposing Stalin`s activities in Russia). The house is heavily ...

Made it to the first destination in one piece - quite impresseed with myself really - although it wasn´t without incident! Starting in Winchester with the bus driver asking 'do you know an alternative route out, the M3 is snarled´. No need to worry i thought... The flight proceeded without incident, customs delayed me 2 hrs but Kathryn was still waiting patiently ...
