... my tour started. Firstly I had to master the Metro. This turned out to be quite easy, and also quite amusing. People kept getting on the train with speakers strapped to them playing dreadful music, of which they were selling the CD. I didn´t see anyone sell any. Surely they would have been better off without the speaker, then no-one would know how **** the music was, and they might stand a chance of shifting something? The thing worth remembering on the Metro is that everyone here is ...

... city to the apartment where he, his sister, and mother live. After a snack of chocolate rice cakes, we crashed hard (for the second time that night). <br> The next day brought a savage, and wonderful, adventure. After scarfing some finger-licking, sugar-coated pan de los Muertos (kind of like angel food cake but more bready and delicious), we hopped in Kisiev`s car and drove two hours, past barrios creeping up hills, roadside vendors (by which I ...

Se all'andata ci siamo concessi un hotel con qualche stella, per la fase finale siamo approtadi ad un ostello.<br>Il letto è piccolo, una piazza e mezza stringata, ma il lenzuolo è ancora più piccolo! Un francobollo di cotone. Ci organizziamo dividendoci lenzuolo e coperta, almeno riusciamo a coprirci.<br>Oggi pomeriggio la piazza è piena di gente per i festeggiamenti del giorno dei morti, ci sono gli indios che fanno le loro danze rituali davanti ad altari decorati; molti ...

... about half an hour later and we decide to risk it and head to one of the restaurants for breaky. I decide on 100% Natural restaurant, as I think this might be fine for our delicate stomachs. When we get there the last thing on my mind is food. Andrew orders the waffles and I just order the freshly squeezed juice, which was the best I have had so far. The waffles arrive and they look good but I can only manage a ...

... to be with us still. So, note to self about traveling a few years from now.... Flight home was good thanks to the fact that Sydney pretty much fell asleep as soon as we took off and didn't wake up until we were about to land! Good thing I past her to John when I did, otherwise I would have been stuck with her on me the whole way - no bathroom breaks and no shifting around. As it was, my back was killing me so I was shuffling ...

... at a fairly slow pace but eventually it came time for me to finish bumming around on the beach and do some real travelling!! SO on Saturday 9th, I finally packed my huge rucksack and headed off... Paying 1 pound 50 to travel 100km to Cancun City where I was to catch my bus to Merida! A 5 hour journey that was not very comfortable... When I arrived at Merida, mild panic set in when I realised that the peice of paper with my hostel details were ...

... peaks this coming weekend. There has been procession after procession in which people carry all sorts of floats around. Most have a symbolic coffin of Jesus and Mother Marry overlooking the coffin - Very Catholic. We were seriously thinking about doing a hike towards the end of this month, to an ancient Mayan Ruin site called El Mirador. The site, lies in the middle of a massive natural reserve 7km from the Mexican border, far from any roads. It was only discovered ...

... aus London Bi**chen getrunken und uns ueb** das Arbeitsleben in London und ueb**s Reisen unt**halten. Den naechsten Tag haben wir uns ein wenig Kulturprogramm gegeben. Weit**e Pyramiden - Michael war g**ade **st angekommen - insof**n habe ich das nochmal mitgemacht. War nicht so beeindruckend, obwohl die groesste Pyramide d** Welt... ist mehr ein Erdhuegel, gekroent, wie so oft, von ein** katholischen Kirche. Wir haben mehr mit den Einheimischen unt**halten. Die Meisten ...

... murals. Even the sketches set her apart from most artists of the time. Her ideas were so complex. She had lots of symbolism skewing from the main image that stood in the center of the paper. We also had the opportunity to view a biography on Frida detailing both her life and tragic death. She was always troubled during her life. Her emotions ran extemely deep. One minute she was elated and the other quite melancholy and depressed. This idea was reflected in her works. Especially ...

... before heading to the hostel. i saw ben (the strange australian) on my way out so i said hi, and asked if he had a book on cuba as he'd been telling me he'd been there the night before (as in telling me the night before, not in cuba the night before otherwise i wouldnt have met him obv!) not only did he have a book but i could more than borrow it i could have it! theres that karma! tapping the book in his hand i asked wot he was reading, whereupon ...
