Quotations Foe Lighting Lamp

wonder of the world, giant turtles and Feierei

So, with big Jesus in Rio de Janeiro, Awesome Machu Picchu near Cuzco, and now Chichen Itza we have seen on this trip, almost half of the 7 new wonders of the world (the other would be the Great Wall, the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum in Rome and the city of Petra in Jordan). Chichén Itza is a Mayan ruin is about 2 hours away from Cancun, we are opposed to our other Marschrute with a tour there, rather than to try on your own, what we have the first part of the day regret extremely. First, we visited a cave and that was unfortunately made by various sprinkler systems and unnatural structures quite touristy. The next step, we were carted to a nearby sent on Highway Mall, where we at low prices Maya fantastic souvenir could acquire and then it went into a strange restaurant where we enjoyed a local snack.

right we were so annoyed after about 5 hours to finally to the ruin, where it began, the positive part of the tour. Our guide was very good and informative, so we all have seen not only as a pile of stones and pyramids, but have also learned a bit of background knowledge.
The ruin itself was pretty cool, but when a month earlier at the Machu Picchu sat Montana, a small pyramid faded somewhat.

The next day we then presented to Playa del Carmen, where I also now write, really a party place, some great Schnorchelstraende and offers Maya site in the area. After a day at the beach
have we then set out for Akumal, a small village about half an hour from here, we had heard from a Mexican, that there can often see turtles. Right
low expectations, we are there broken up, because our last Schnorkelausflug extreme flow of this type is unspectacular. In Akumal we found already one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, so the trip had been worthwhile.
In the water it was but then again a whole corner better, I had expected to see maybe a few small turtles, and suddenly was sitting 2 meters below us a huge old turtle. Legal Stunned, we drove over the cattle when it was suddenly leave the ground and floated through the water ... It was absolutely overwhelming for me to swim there with the tortoise.

The last few days we have then, except for a trip to the ruins at Tulum, located right on the sea, spent in the hostel and the beach.

Tonight, we go further for us while on a scooter, Katja said goodbye and fly back to Vancouver.
