Los Cocos Chetumal

... group is almost entirely Australian. There is just one other 'Pom' who I can discuss the X Factor with. At dinner I was surrounded by Aussies. We had the old favourite travellers conversations -<br><br>1. What is the most ill you have been on holiday? An Aussie couple beat everyone else with their graphic details. Nice topic for the dinner table.<br>2. How heavy is your backpack? I won - yes!!<br>3. Which anti malarial tablets are you taking and what are the horrific side effects?<br ...

... folks with carts standing in the middle of the four-lane highway), power plants, and factories, to Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is the site of an ancient city, so old that the Aztecs discovered it already abandoned when they moved into the Mexico valley and founded Tenochtitlan on the site that is now Mexico City. Teotihuacan is still very much a mystery to archeologists, and new digs are uncovering deeper, buried remnants of even older cities below the ...

... 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 ...

We rolled through Escarcega around 10:30 and just blew on through. One long road left and the BORDER is within our GRASP!!!!<br><br><br><br>Whooo hooooo!<br><br><br><br>The road was in pretty good shape leaving town but about 20 miles<br>out...MAJOR roadwork.

... im Dunkeln. Bereits vor den Römern errichteten die Mayas ein komplexes Wasser- und Abwassersystem, dass man noch heute in Palenque bewundern kann. Besonders eindrücklich sind jedoch die hohen Tempel- und Palastbauten, von denen man beinahe die ganze (den Touristen zugängliche) Stätte überblicken kann. Am Nachmittag fuhren wir dann weiter zum 480km entfernten, an Belize grenzende Chetumal.

... Azul where we had tasty breakfast on the edge of the tranquil and deep waters. We were told that the cenote was 90 meters deep and that only experienced cave divers should consider taking the plunge. We watched as some young men jumped, successfully and some not so successfully, off the roof of the restaurant into the water - about a 5 meters drop. In the afternoon, we noticed that the children in a local ...

... for yourself when you leave your house. Litigation has no say here, and it is not such a bad thing. Anyway, LOVED MEXICO. Would come back in a heartbeat, but cannot wait to see what lies ahead. I am going into a bit of a "dead zone" from an Internet perspective and will not likely be as communicative as I have been for the last few months. I am going from checking my email almost daily to about once a week. These islands off the ...

Realizing after an hour the real action was at the Chetumal mall we headed back. Indulging in one of the main attractions, Burger king we devoured four double by-passes with ...

... As I was saying, people are very nice in general and some are curious about outsiders. No one asked me for money, although I somehow became a pretty hot prospect for a new credit card, as numerous people asked me to fill in a registration form. I could easily get rid of them by asking them if they spoke French... lets just say they were not as ressourceful as the Marocains I have encountered in Casablanca :). In general, I did not have the ...
