... a million people were crowded together waiting for some light show. It took 20 minutes for us to fight our way accross the square to the restaurant we were going to for dinner. When we got to the restaurant, I noticed it was right next door to the next tube stop down the line. Hmmm. Diego then went to great lengths to explain the difference between a tour leader (which he is) and a tour guide. Basically, a tour guide knows some useful information and a tour leader doesn´t. <br><br>Our ...

... orrore.<br>Per il resto del giorno ci limitiamo a camminare lungo i viali del centro, al momento di salire in camera ci accorgiamo della fatica di essere a 2200 mt, l'ostello è subdolo tu credi di dover salire al terzo piano, ma loro hanno due piani non conteggiati (dove c'è la cucina e l'altro con la sala tv) così in realtà devi arrivare al quinto. Dobbiamo organizzarci bene, perchè una volta scesi, se ti accorgi di aver dimenticato qualcosa, sono tutti cavoli tuoi risalire!!

... di poter uscire da quella scatola per un quarto d'ora. I militari hanno tirato giu' tutti i bagagli e ce li hanno fatti aprire tutti, hanno rovistato nei panni sporchi di tutti i passeggeri alla ricerca di qualcosa di piu' stupefacente di un calzino usato. Contenti loro.<br>A Merida abbiamo vagato alla ricerca di un hotel o similare e siamo approdati al Trinidad. <br>Lo sconsiglio. Primo, ti dice che accetta carte di credito e poi ti racconta che la macchinetta e ...

Cenotes are fresh water limestone sink holes, which are fully or partially collapsed Karst Caves. They resemble small circular lakes or lagoons with vertical edges and stalactites and tree roots coming down from the ceiling. I was desperate to see what these cenotes were so decided to take local transport with Rena and a few others to swim in 3 different cenotes.

The one she was trying to sell me started at $1400 pesos, but for me, she'd give me a deal. Especially if I wanted Panama hats as well. Well, I tried out the single sized hammock, and it just wasn't as comfortable, so I tried another one in a different color, and it was perfect. A good size ...

... They can no believe it is cold! I try and assure them everytime, ha! Dad sent me a picture of frost, is it that cold???? The second week my parents were here we went to Acapulco for a week to chill! The hotel was wonderful, the best hotel I have every stayed in! One of the best parts was being taken up to our room in a pink jeep! Ah it was great and very hot of course so now I am a little brown. I will not say too much about it because I make you all jealous ...

... Casa de artesania) maintained by the tourist office. Contrary to what the Lonely Planet says, they didn't have a fixed price. There were hats of different quality and their prices were very varied. Ewan had his eye on the class 4 (the best is class 5) hat which the sales person originally asked for 1600 pesos!

We enjoyed looking round all the stores until we realise that vest tops are not the way forward. at one point i thought there was a full moon and there were a herd of dogs howling and a women even did the hyoly cross symbol! So the plan of the day is to find some granny tops to cover up and maybe a bit of meicxn wrestling tonight! Hope you are all enjoying work! xx
