April 1st. One of the great pyramids there, "la iglesia"
Two weeks in Central America.

Starting in Cancun, spending a few days in Tulum where I had wonderful days onf diving in the Cenotes.

Then I spent a bit more than a week on Caye Caulker. Excellent diving, wonderuf relaxed island life. No cars, just golf carts... No mobile phone reception for me...:-)

From there I had a two-days trip to Guatemala, to Tikal. I stayed in Flores, on Lago Peten Itzca, a wonderful city on a beautiful lake.

Tikal. One of the most impressive places I have ever seen. Amazing architecture, and this leaves questions in your mind. Who where they? Who built this amazing city? Who was living here?

Then I went to Tulum again, had the most impressive dive in the temple of doom, on April 13th...:-)

The last days I spent in Playa del Carmen, nice city, but quite touristy.
