Piramide Inn Chichén Itzá

... br>Una fatica disumana per capire dove andare. Esempio: cartello con indicazione per Chichen Itza dritto; dopo 20 metri la strada finisce e presenta due possibili direzioni, una a destra e una a sinistra: credete che ci fosse scritta qualche altra indicazione?<br>Un incubo, identificare un autoctono che sembri orientato e in grado di comprendere il nostro italo-porto-spagnolo, comprendere ...

... markets and many yummy eateries. The free open air art gallery was great, lots<br>of historical and political work there that gave us some food for thought.<br>Streets are one way, as are many here I&#8217;m discovering, but no obvious signs so<br>I guess you have to be a local as I would not want to try navigating at the<br>best of times! Great hostel<br>(though the mosquito problem is the worst I&#8217;ve encountered for a while and<br>Shane is getting tired of hearing their ...
