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
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.

Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää Mexico!




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...

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...

Bye bye New York, welcome Mayan Riviera Read More...

Viikko oli hyvän mittainen isku Isoon Omenaan.

Nähtävyydet kohtuudella hoidettu. Central Park, Empire State Building, Wall Street, 5th Ave, Broadway jne. Seuraavalla kerralla täytyy varata aikaa museoille ja musikaaleihin ... nyt kun peruskartasto on hallussa.
Reissun kohokohdat ajoittuivat viikonloppuun. Perjantain illallinen Karin ja Monan tyänä ja lauantain Meat Packing District jäi päällimmäisenä mieleen. Read More...

New York, you look!

CW Post Campus in '90 was my first and last visit to New York until now. Yeah, that's when Taco Bell sold chicken soft tacos for 99c each and everyone was running for the border.
Like any good tourist I took the midtown-downtown tour. I'm sure I saw one of them country musicians. Check out the pictures. Read More...

Miten maailmanymparimatkalle lahdetaan? 07:12 Asunto 12, Stiglenstrasse 44 Seebach. Aamukakkosella elama hymyilee, Company's vaatekaupan mainoslehti kadessa, mutta en pysty oikein keskittymaan lukunautintoon. Miks kamat painaa niin paljon? Onkohan Late lihonut? Pitais roskat vieda ulos! Noh, kaikki hyva paattyy aikanaan, mainoslehti lentaa nurkkaan ja paiva alkaa ... Read More...
