Tulum & Playa Del CarmenWhat a contrast these two are!?
Links fixed now!Here is an experiment of my trying out the blogs direct image upload facility. Useful for single images.
Chitchen ItzaVisited the jungle surrounded Mayan ruins of Chitzen Itza this morning, nice and early before all the French and Yanks from Cacun turned up! Have spent the afternoon chilling out and will return to the ruins for the light and laser show tonight. Tomorrow we go swimming in a Lagoon then catch the 4pm bus to Tulum. Blog Easy New Format Not So EasyAs you may have noticed the format of this Blog has changed recently. Unfortunately this has led to the links to Photos on Yahoo not being displayed correctly, but has lead to the inclusion of several new features including the links you now see on the right hand side.
MeridaPhew, its hot here! Well over 30 degrees each day, very different now we are back at sea level again (Mexico city was 2300m above sea level). The town here is very quaint and there is live music each night in the streets. They??res also loads of Mayan ruins too see but we have been avoiding those and chilling out. Tomorrow we take the bus to the main Mayan site in the Yucatan penninsula which is Chitchen Itza. MexicoHave been in Mexico City for the last 4 days since flying out of Miami. Went to Teotihuacan on Wednesday which is better known as the Aztec Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon - very impressive, nice weather, tons of photos. In Mexico City, once you scrape through the smog, traffic and pollution its actually quite a grand place with lots of ancient architecture (more empressive than London!) and large plazas. The art galleries and museums here are first class - went to the Anthropological Museum yesterday which is huge (and probably the best museum I have ever been to, very impressive indeed). Also, It hasnt felt like the dodgiest place on our journey (which I though it might be) at all - The people are a lot more friendlier than a lot of other places in Latin America.
Photo RecapStill have everything from Iguacu Falls onwards to get put onto CD but in reverse order we have:
Birthday in the Keys and now off to MexicoHave just spent 3 days in the Florida keys over my birthday and the weekend chilling out in Fort Lauderdale preparing to go Mexico tomorrow lunchtime.
Florida and DisneyWhirledHave just got back from 4 very untraveller-like days up at DisneyWorld near Orlando and fair play it was very very impressive and enjoyable. Every detail has been thought of and everything is super clean, efficient and user-friendly (all the staff must receive free Prozac or something!).
South BeachArrived in Miami yesterday morning after an overnight flight from Rio. Spending the weekend in sunny South Beach and are hooking up with Mels friend Linda for dinner tonight and then clubbing on Saturday. Sunday we are going to a party in a park in Coconut Grove where German DJ Paul Van Dyk is spinning the tunes for the charity that encourages lazy American to get up off their arses and vote Bush out of office.
