Mirador Del Lago Flores

... this and also a pic of Kerrie fashioning a protective head scarf that she made from her t-shirt. The temples were impressive to see, I think the best ones are in Mexico though. The Maya civilisation were well clever and way ahead of anyone else - this sentence doesn't do the Mayan civilisation and justice at all though, so look it up if you're interested. I'd like to read up more about it when back from travels...<br>More to follow...

... in the<br>air and came down with a BANG. No way could at least one of them not be<br>hurt after that.<br><br><br><br>Stopped the trailer and ran back to check, both up and no injuries<br>but both of them were riding braced out on all four and were looking at<br>me like WTF are you<br>DOING??? Dipshit.<br>

... fact that the new park officer has banned people entering the ruins in the dark meant we didn&#8217;t. It was a good hours drive to the ruins and although the sun had risen, it was still early and most of the crowds had not arrived. Everyone else on my shuttle bus, and another shuttle bus were joining together and doing a guided tour of the ruins. The return bus to the ruins was $12, the entry was $30, and if I ...

... nuggets of information aside from one or two bits about the allignment of the temples with the solstices etc. He also had a really weird accent and referred to himself from timt to time as 'the Luis'.<br> Overall though, I enjoyed the day trip - if I had more time and money I'd probably stay in one of the expensive lodgings just outside the park and spent a lot longer just wandering aimlessly through the less touristed reaches of the site, but I don't so I didn't!

... from the ground but the climb to the top provides a good sweat drenching. I did notice the MC Hammer clown pants are quite a wimpy match to the elements and some of the lighter varieties such as rain and sweat soaked white give everyone a peepshow high above the jungle.<br><br>I guess it's true that nothing good in life comes easy and that includes exploring the best parts of this national park. People I met talked about how Tikal was life ...

Finally (arrived eventually about 8pm)in the home of the famous Voladores - bored you before with photos of them rotating down around a high maypole suspended on ropes by their ankles - check out Mexico City & Aguascalientes! The main other reason for coming are the nearby El Tajin (Totonac ruins) - had heard that most things would be reopening Weds, but was still sensible enough to check with the tourist office - would open at ...

... sur les pyramides memorable. Tout cela agremente d'un temascal traditionnel, il s agit d un hammam indien qui est sense purifier le corps et l ame, mais a notre surprise nous nous sommes fait fouetter tout nus avec des branches par une mama indienne une fois rentre dans le tipi.... experience originale... Enfin avant de reprendre la route nous avons eu un cours de yoga, qui nous a bien fait comprendre que la souplesse ca se travaille !!!

... men and women dressed in their customary costume. The men in white tunic tops with white, baggy trousers tied at the ankles; the women wear white dresses embroidered with brightly coloured flowers. Their was also another display of the Voladores doing their flying from their home town. From here it is back to Poza Rica to do some shopping and return to the vehicle. Today is another lazy day and time to send the letter again as we will be travelling again tomorrow.

... I øvrigt hurtigt og problemfrit - møder jeg en noget anden type. Ikke at han var uhæderlig, men han forsøgte at sælge mig noget jeg ikke var bestemt på at købe. Han var både charmerende og beleven. Han forsøgte ihærdigt og dygtigt at sælge mig en taxa til Flores - mit bestemmelses sted. (50 km) Det skulle koste 350 Quetsales hvilket er noget der ligner 300 kr. Men jeg vidste at man skulle kunne komme frem for bare 25 Quetsales !! - Men hvorfra og hvordan var ikke ...

... lots of fun. I thought the next 2 weeks would be very quiet and boring without her. It was quiet and I suppose a bit lonely for about half a week and then after that I think I actually had more time ...
