OK, so spent the night in Flores and nothing much happened apart from spotting Jamie Theakston walking down the pathway outside the cafe i was sitting in. (No really, a whole film crew trailed along behind him). Left for Mexico at 5am the next morning on a wee rickety minibus along a pot hole filled dirt track. I was half asleep the whole time but things appeared to keep falling off the underside of the van and weīd stop so the driver and the bag guy could fiddle around a bit before we set off again. The drive didnīt take long [View Full Entry]
this is the first blog from mexico. i came 5 days ago to mexico city, the giant city where from the airplane it is quite amazing to look at. all the houses are so small. in the metro system it is very funny because in every station there is somebody who comes and try to sell you stuff, usually its burned cd. they have a speaker and they play it really load. its only 10 peses, home made copy cd. we traveled to villahermosa, 11 hours travel with first class bus. u dont have any other option except even more expensive [View Full Entry]

im sitting with lotta in a very noisy internet cafe. small children are playing computer games and making lots of noise. the reason we r here is because outside is very very hot and we were today in the beatiful ruins but we catch a very hot day so it is har to breathe here. also mexico city was like that with all the pollution and u really feel tired ther after a while. we tried some street food and they r all nice- lots of meat, coconut drink. we tried one day in mexico city to sit in a restuarant [View Full Entry]

Palenque, Misol Ha and Agua Azul....back into time
North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Palenque
Left San Cristobal and moved on further down South towards Palenque, the famous Mayan ruins located 4 hours away from San Cristobal. Decided to take a tour which took us to Palenque in a nice tour van making two stops along the way at Agua Azul and Misol-ha known for its amazing blue rivers and waterfalls. The plan was to take the full day tour and not return to San Cristobal after and stay on in El Panchan in Palenque instead. The cost makes sense compared to just paying for a bus ride. We were lucky as the weather was perfect [View Full Entry]

From Merida we took the nightbus to Palenque what seemed to be a good idea but turned out not to be such a good idea, or at least not for me (krista). The bus driver was more or less a wild rider who just bumped his horn when overtaking another car, besides he got confused with his light and turned it of and on and off all the time.... As you can imagine it gave me small heart attacks and kept my eyes wide open... Luckely Flora had a good night rest and we arrived in the early morning in Palenque [View Full Entry]

Tess and Colin and the search of the hidden jade mask
North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Palenque
Palenque is in the thick of the jungle. The Palenque ruins consist of about 4,000 buildings or something like that but there are less than 100 that you can visit because the rest are overgrown with jungle. The exploring is great out there. I feel like Iīm in a Idiana Jones movie because the temples rise through the bush and there are vines draping down everywhere and itīs like I should be searching for buried treasure or an old relic. Today Colin and I went back to the ruins (we went the first time on Colinīs birthday, the 12th) and we [View Full Entry]

CHIAPAS 1: Welcome to the Jungle
North America » Mexico » Chiapas » Palenque
Without a doubt, Chiapas is my favorite state in mexico. It is diverse, it has interesting politics and struggles, it has the most biodiversity of all of mexico, it has steamy jungles and high pine forests, ancient ruins, waterfalls, caves, canyons, mountains, cocoa and coffee plantations, and beaches. It lies at the southern isthmus where mexico bends easterward towards the Yucatan. If you ever come to mexico and have to decide between places, donīt skip Chiapas! My main bases were Palenque and San Cristobal del Las Casas. I arrived in Palenque from Villahermosa, going ever deeper in t [View Full Entry]

We left Puerto Escondido in the afternoon on the bus to San Christobel which took 12 hours and then a 5hour bus to palenque where we spent a night and went on a day trip to visit the mayan ruins and waterfalls that palenque is famous for. For $10 we had a private mini bus that took us to the mayan ruins where you can explore old palaces and tombs unfortunatly it was a misty morning so the pictures are kind of unclear, we were then taken to misol ha which is a huge waterfall where some of the film predator [View Full Entry]
