Mexico

Adios Mexico

Loads of fun, but it's time to move on.

Thumbs up.
Cenotes. Great places to swim, snorkel and dive
GUE cave training. Quality
8/13 days of diving. Perhaps I could have done one more day Winking
Tostadas Them little snacks are just irresistible
Pick-up trucks. Beats hummers, when it come to diving. Proof in Photo Gallery
Fogon restaurants. Nice, local, unexpensive, great food. Need to say more?
Wal-Mart food court for lunch. Great selection of soups, tortas and meats. Unexpensive

Thumbs down.
Playa is a bit too touristic for my taste. However if you are looking for nice and expensive restaurants, bar or nightlife in general, this is the place. Not sure why I'd want to go to Italian restaurant in Mexico myself though. Feels a bit like Mallorca.
Conzumel diving. Nice, but overrated. Though my experiences are limited
Visits to theme parks or ruins like Xel-ha. Looks to me to be a bit of a rip-offs.
Ticket sellers. Walking down the 5th Ave... No! for the 7th time, I don't need a ticket to Conzumel. If I do, I'll find a booth selling them. Applies to all tickets, visit, buses and whatnot.

Siirryn huomenna Puerto Aventuraan n. 25km Playasta etelään. Viisipäiväinen luolasukelluskurssi alkaa Maanantaina (www.dir-mexico.com). Fiilikset on hyvät ja odotukset korkealla, toivottavasti kaikki sujuu ja teoriat ynnä muut drillit tulee suoritettua kunnialla. Asenteella! Jos vanhat merkit pitää paikkansa, ei ensi viikolla juuri muulle jää aikaa. Eipä haittaa, nyt sitä herkkua riittää!

ps. taisin just oppia lisäämään kuvia tähän blogiin Read More...

Tostadas tambien!

I almost forgot how much fun diving is. Planning and huffing over the trip in August, I did not have time or energy to gear up for a Lake Zurich splash. Anyway, I'm in water again!
First two days of Yucatan diving are over. Spledid, as an Englishman might say. Given that I've been diving in Cenotes, driven around by a pothead and spotted a shark in Consumel makes these days feel quite rich. I hope the rest of the trip is as interesting. Read More...
