Some of you wondered if we've already seen Chichén Itza and Tulum, two impressive Maya sites. The answer for Tulum (which is remarkable especially for it's great location right at the shoreline rather than it's a little less fascinating ruins) is attached. We saw it yesterday at dawn. In Chichén Itza, which is impressive because of the site AND it's tourist capacity, I tried hard but couldn't earn any 'Dada- Points' for eating Chicken Pizza in Chichén Itza. There was only available what seems to become typical Mexican food: crisps and Coke! (and also with the typical health problems attached). We had a Subway Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich then. Not very much better...

... but always different styles, sizes, layouts and carvings. All those Maya ruins still don't get boring!

When was the last time that you had a cozy fireplace in your hotel room? San Christóbal is at 2,200m above sea level and nights get cold. So the fireplace was VERY welcome. And the hotel was great! Pictures - again - are taken with my Sony P200, not the iPhone. But I can share this one:

When you think you can escape the whole Christmas terror by flying out in time just before it all gets extra-crazy, choose your destination wisely! We for our part failed miserably doing so! They even have an huge ice rink here in Mexico City! And the Mexicans love it!

I don't know if I can photoblog more of our trip after we leave the city, but tomorrow should at least work as the Holiday Inn at Zocalo here offers complimentary WiFi access. Two iPhone-thumbs up!
