Many ways in Mexico

No problems at customs, fast Welcome at its airports. Taxis to cities reasonable and hotles mostly well.

Veracruz

Tropical Storm Vance had its last days in the huge area covered before. Mostly broad streets but not too much traffic.

Playa del Carmen

Quite relaxed atmossphere, easy going volks, Aztekas, Mixtekas, Touris and relevanth security, Good food is Tacos pollio
all picture bigger than shown

Nice beaches from north to south. Some hotels on the next island some 70km away look like standing in the water. Beachcrews searching for clunkjer and rings which got lost in playa sands.

Yucatan - Onway back via Cancun

Cancun is spread on a Laguna wich is hard to get covered on foot. At the hotel front they sing everyday till deep into the nights. It has ugly security during nights but an easy overnight spot vcan be found at the sea with baywatch tower, from where duruing mornings Pelikans, sportistas and Seagulls and fragatbirds can be watched. // most pics biger than shown


Somehow I got on the road out of Cancun but later the day on way back again on taxi (as hitch hiking) to Cancun. Along the road to Chetumal take care not to get hit by fast trucks and cars. Djungles always close hanging near streets.

Mexico city

It s a vast Megacity with many areas, and hidden locations, parks, good food locations and friendly poeple.
The megacity has big roads, parks, huge busstations and friendly people. Huge squares can be visited and some adminsital buildings and churches in back. Streetart comes before on many areas.

Airport Charles de Gaulle - Paris
Getting quite cold during nights, but people are often friendl, food areas can be visited over waiting time.

Viva la Mexico

They do not take your pasport, it is free entry and western stile saloon glasdoors. That hot internat. standarda but what happens if international Traveller, Cosmopolitiko, does nt get a stamp into his passport. That is the problem, nomore stamps in passport. What then if he cen not see what and wehn it happened. Over what timespan ? So all that robotik reduced actio at custoims got many changes over the years.

They do not take ya fingerprints, they are nice and easy going. Viva la Mexico.

There may be some people who get special attention, also the seagulls (playfull and attentive there) at Playa del Carmen and the Darter (Schlangenhalsvogel) where nice. The Pelicans and Fregatbirds even the more. Anywhere in some wets the differ beteweeen people of public interest of juristic persons or the gangs, and in soe areas these mix. That is common in west to east. Viva la Mexico (got to see too many Maya Tarahumara performers ?!)

Yucatans Eastcoast, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Chetumal, Merida, strechtches from N to South. Karibean routes

There are some interesting roads through djungles and to the coast there. But usually bettr do that on scooters with friends, not to get into the wrong areas with all kind of Snakes, Crocos and some jails maybe.

Have good times there, evene mexican films from last century are special, they can laugh about themself that is great. In other hemispheres they take themself far to seriously and then they get odd. You can check that on some modern TV settings (hotels or private, boxes with blue background onscreens). Topics are many from romance, horros, telenovelas to gangs, hells angels to drugs and traffics.

These setting can be annoying as well but in some cases you can get a deeper insight on how some states run and their movie and rel. industries. Some dokus date back to the 70 and 80s of last century and even they show dokus of hells angels and bandido stories from that times. At that time even jails in Belgium or was it Denmark was a failor then (80s etc)

Forget about the paranoia states in its north, more here, they are rediculose dudes, cardriver volks and infront of each woodhiouse there stand three to six cars. Whatfor that much of rubbish. (registrated or carplates readable etc etc) Whoever has an idea on these cardrivesr let me know, beside the FedEx s airport near Mexico city where Cosmopolitiko once passed out of the megacity hitch hiking.

Playa del Carmen has also some african volks, or looking alike, many are mixed bloods, mestizos, Maya and Aztekas. Of some I thought this could be a the Old Aztek kings sun (in some long distance busses) But finally and at last african Volks got seen later then on Paris airport overnight. French are quite tolerant volks. Dubai also has african Volks, Viva la Mexicoohhh !

Take care in soem situatios when it goes to taxi paymenst, read the numbers and in some momens the book from you card more. It is bad acts onway. Food stoer sare never a problem they book correct and can do it. Taxis can be a desaster over the total continent. Insist to read payment gigits in taxis or quit. Best is to set prices before the ride.

Calculate on some longway overland ways on bus they play videos very loud and noisy, either leave onway, get dropped, or ask the driver to reduce volume and turn that off. That much of bad noise is brain demaging over hours. On one way the driver looked like Pinochet to me. It took him some time to turn the soundblaster off onbus.

Viva la Mexico go for the beaches the sea and the party.
