Hotel Tierra y Cielo San Cristobal de las Casas

Ve woke up fresh and clean around 07-08, and now the jetlag has completely gone.<br>At around 13.00 we decided to go out and try to see the beach before it was too late, despite the light rain. once we get on the bus to the hotel zone where the beach is, the rain became more and more ferocious! We ended up walking around the bar area, competing on a machine where you slam a club ...

We landed in Cancun after apr. 15 hours of traveling. Martin had beforehand done some research and found a hostel for us. We took a van from tha airport there. <br><br>After checking in, eating and finding a much needed laundry shop, we fell asleep like ...

... was happy. My best night in Mexico so far. <br>I intended to stay in Oaxaca a few days to read up about different thing. My hosts said that they wouldn´t kick me out. I said that I´m gonna put that statement to the test because I might stay a while. When a week had passed a damn Belgian who was staying in the room remind me that January is not that far away so if I´m gonna make it to Panama I should probably consider moving on. I realised he was right and bought a bus ticket to ...

... villages of the area, as we did this morning. We went with a small group tour to the towns of San Juan Chamula and San Lorenzo Zinacantan, where a guide explained some of their traditions and cultural differences. Of particular interest was the church in Chamula, where they blend Mayan and Catholic customs to create their own form of religion. We observed a small procession (taking the saints out for a lap around the square) and several rituals within the church.

... whatever groceries that they need from the town as the husband does what ever work that he can to provide for his family, its a little rough to see at first but then i realised that you perhaps have to not see it through western eyes and try to take it on face value. I admit impossible but if you try then you can at least you dont have the overwhelming sense of pity and guilt that to be fair they do not want or need. I mean the villages were very clearly poor with the ...

... to San Cristobal de Las Casas is complete without a taking a guided tour of the nearby towns of Chamula and Zinacanta.<br><br>I don&#8217;t know what the competition is like but the tours with &#8220;Alex and Raul&#8221; which leave every day of the week from the cathedral square are to be highly recommended. On this particular day the tour was led by Alex who could be described as personable, articulate, knowledgeable and culturally sensitive to the delicate operation of entering ...

... that time of the morning! The drive is OK, apart from the same screaming Spanish movie on the video. And indeed, 5 hours later we are back in Mexico City. Taxi to airport. Check in. Hubby finds an airport lounge. How to get in and where to pay is NOT easy (nobody speaks ...) but we manage. We have 4 hours to drink snack and internet. I write stories, we chat to people (my nephew calls my hubby Dr T-bone steak) and the hours pass pleasantly ...

... he'd pulled off the wall - i think we can do business together güey. i have an endless amount of this business. really i have too much, he said, taking a plastic card out of his pocket and started shuffling up the white powder. to me, it already looked well dusty but he moved it around the mirror for a few minutes before he cut it into lines and told me - this is my friend from guatemala, pure güey. that is yours right there, he told me after taking a generous line for ...

... Spravila sva se tud kuhat, ceprav so bile sostanovalke nekoliko skepticne ob pogledu na najino kuhanje, tako da so bile naslednji dan kar vesele, ko so naju vidle zive in zdrave. Glede na to, da se 90% populacije ukvarja s turizmom, znajo ljudje bit nekoliko vsiljivi. Zopet se nama je ratal zgubit (Borut prevec pameten) in to okrog dveh zjutri. Znajdla sva se v neznani in dokaj primitivni soseski, kjer sva bila prisiljena cakati na taxi. Mislila sva ...

... The bus speeded toward Cancun as sun was beginning to set. We arrived at about 7pm in Cancun, and found the hostel. It was empty, not well kept, and a little scary to go to the bathroom. The wind from the previous hurricane must have shatter the glass and blew some sand and palm leafs in. When I took a luke warm shower it felt like a horror movie scene. We were both starving, so we did what other tourists in Cancun would have done, we went to eat at McDonalds.
