Copper Canyon - Day 2
... the canyon. We arrange with Victor to feed Carlos on our bill, and settle
in to quesadillas and burritos for all of us - total bill? 70 pesos - that's
LESS than $6 Cdn. We say goodbye to Carlos and goodnight to Victor who we will see tomorrow when he takes us back to the train station. We walk back uphill in the dark to our room, (I don't see how they can move around these canyons at night), and settle in

Riding a train through copper canyon
... und so über 2000 Höhenmeter überwunden werden. Außerdem sind die Gleise nicht unbedingt mit den deutschen ICE-Strecken vergleichbar. So gibt es doch hin und wieder mal harte Schläge, wenn das Gleisstück dann nicht mehr ganz so gut ans anders paßt und eigentlich dauernd ein heftiges Schwanken im Zug. Bei der Geschwindigkeit ist das aber nicht weiter störend. Außerdem kann man so die Landschaft ...
