That’s the end
Very very sad end of our beautiful trip. We won’t get to Panama. We are back in Europe.
Mexico
Not always easy: writing a travel blog
Running our blog brings us a lot of fun and great energy from our readers. But everybody is complaining why the posts appear so seldom. Let me tell the story why.
Hanna has something to say!
More and more people is asking how is our Hanna: if healthy? if happy? Here you are: if only Hanna would be able to write, she would give you some insights about our trip.
Adiós Mexico!
Of course not visiting all the places we planned, and of course much later than we planned – we are leaving Mexico. Surprisingly, without any problem on the Guatemalan border!!
San Cristobal the Coolest
Cool, because situated between hills in a small valley. Cool, because very walkable and likable with all the small cafes (first time we felt Berlin’s atmoshpere). Cool, because of all the Maya’s culture in the city.
Chiapas’ diversity
And each of the villages has its own clothing, language, beliefs and customs. And maybe even 1/3 of the people don’t speak Spanish! And from those jungles came the rebel movement of Zapatista, which is fighting for a democratic change of indigenous rights. Chiapas: an amazing state of Mexico.
Juicy green Palenque ruins
Already arriving to the camping place, close to the Palenque ruins, gave a very tropical feeling: dipped in the jungle small road to small wooden cabanas, bustling with “King of the jungle” song, wet and hot morning just waiting for exploring the ruins.
Big city, small city and a village
Going more east, we checked the capital of the peninsula, another town and a small fishermen village. What to say, between chickens, turkeys and dogs – we all had the most of fun.
Chichén boring Itzá
I’m seriously wondering how did Chichen Itza make it to be between new seven wonders of the world. More tourists and souvenirs than wonders!
Cool those cenotes
So how many degrees do you have in Europe right now? Don’t you also feel like jumping to the blue eye of underwater cenote?
Meetings in Tulum, Mexico
Probably the most touristic Maya ruins around but still: just imagine how happy those Maya must have been to wake up and have such a view in the morning!?
Dinner and breakfast with monkeys
Since the moment Hanna first time saw a spider monkey we knew that we have to find more of them and show her that they are happy out there, between the trees, and taking one home is maybe not the best idea.
Laugh has no dialects
What to do in the Maya village on the Day of the Dead? You follow your daughter and get invited for a traditional dinner!
Hammock, tv and coca-cola
San Angel, 800-people Maya community. One of the places where organisation Kanche is supporting the activities of indigenous people.
Sandy, sunny Isla Holbox
Seems like heaven, from those folders of travel agencies. But on the pictures you don’t see one important issues: mosquitoes!!
Totopos and chili
And what to eat in Pozoleria? Pozole, of course.
Buying the car in Mexico – done!
To become a happy owner of the car in Mexico you must go through four steps: finding a proper car, checking if it is really a proper car, getting money to buy this car, registering the car. And each of those steps can be a fight – especially if you are a foreigner.
Not an easy beginning
At first hurricane and then it can be only stronger? That was kind of our beginning in Mexico.
Jet lag in Cancun
We are sending kisses to the whole world from Cancun in Mexico! Still sleepy, tired and not very conscious that we are really here.
