La Cocoteraie Guadeloupe

... a bit tired of criss crossing the Sierra Madre and I need to get to Guatemala for possible hook up with fellow traveler.<br>I stopped at Arriaga this gives me the choice of either option in the morning and I need Internet access. <br>Stopped at the Hotel Marie Eugenia another cheap clean place, as they have all been so far.<br>Got a taxi into the town centre to find a Internet cafe, that's more like it $5 Pesos per hour.<br>

... Spiels dem Sonnengott geopf**t. In d** Anlage findet sich auss**dem auch ein astronomisches Obs**vatorium, das die Zapoteken für die B**echnung ihres 260-Tage umfassenden Kalend**system benützten. Am Nachmittag machten wir uns dann auf den Weg durch die Si**ra Madre del Sur zum 600km entf**nten San Cristobal de Las Casas. Dabei üb**nachteten wir jedoch auf halb** Strecke in Zanatepec, mitten im Urwald.

The local buses in Mexico are terrific, dirt cheap, on time, clean &amp; extremely comfortable just like our luxury coaches at home, which is just as well as we spent a lot of time on them. Great time to start to get to know the other people on the tour 15 in total including us. A mix of juniors &amp; geriatrics......leave it to you to decide which group we came under ! The Mayan ruins was something we both were really keen to explore and we ...

... concrete, blacktop, rebar, truck tire recaps, large diameter rope, and any other thing that is sturdy and will reach across both lanes and on to the shoulder. Some are well marked, some are not marked at all! Being on a bike makes going over them at a reasonable speed (faster than most other vehicles) easier than in others. If you hit one of these with out seeing the sign or with out having a sign there, and ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

... as it is the highest mountain situated in the middle of Basse-Terre and is a spectacular day trip! It can be done in half a day, however you need to be fit and we recommend wearing shoes and taking sufficient amount of water! If you want a tour group, contact HazEco. The volcano hike is a breathtaking experience, however it isn't for the faint hearted. In 2004 the main parking lot was destroyed by a landslide so you are now obliged to park further ...

... and Matthieus only hitting on Kat, being all nice french guy trying to dance with her and stuff. Philippe keeps grabbing me and trying to kiss me/begging me to kiss him while I'm doing my best to get him off me without being rude (and I still can't believe Kathy didn't even comment on it), Max, such a sweetheart is totally lost in the situation and has no idea what to believe which makes total sense since Kathy is obviously into Philippe but still managing to keep ...

Here we go. Monday, work. Scary. Just the fact that the phone rings and I have to answer in french, be supersuperpolite (which I am not since I freeze and can't think of anything to say) and then the reception is right next to the offices of the three big shots so oh yeah they hear every word I say when I totally **** up messages, forget to ask important questions and write down the wrong numbers. Monday wasn't too ...

... water and went in search of a spot suitable for our picnique. Refreshed, we decided to wander up the hill to the Jardin Botanique de Deshaies (botanical garden). Visiting it with Ellis was a delight, since he went to school for botany. The plants were incredible, and we kept pointing out ones that we have as house plants, but here are outdoors and upwards of six feet tall.   Ellis and I went for a long walk up and ...
