Mexico, Cuba
December 10, 2009
Hiya..
first I’ve to say, thanks you for all the birthday congratulations.. I’m also felling really happy to traveling around Central America now..
I flew from San Diego to Cancun, Mexico and spent the first two nights in Playa del Carmen.. Met Salem (Michigan) and Jose (Munich).. We decided to traveled south Mexico for two weeks together.. But before I visited my friend Caro (met her six month ago in el Nido) in Cancun downtown and relaxed a coupe days at her place & by her amazing pool..
Met the guys three days later in Merida, where we spent the night and we had some delicious Tacos, Burritos and a few drinks..
After we went to Palanque to see waterfalls called Agua Azul.. Where for the first time in my life I enjoyed a shower under a waterfall.. 
Next stop was San Cristobal de las Casas, the most beautiful town I’ve seen in Mexico.. Its filled with colorful old beautiful buildings and “El Canon” a big canon where we took a river boat ride.. WOW.. We saw crocodiles and iguanas.
For my hole life I’ve been thinking I’d like to go once to Cuba.. So I finely did it..
I flew from Cancun into Havana and spent 10 days in Cuba.. It is one of the last communist Countries in the world and this is how Havana Vieja looks like.. Everybody knows pictures with the famous old cars and old buildings.. I was able to enjoy this special atmosphere with a Cuba Libre and a Cuban cigar..
At the beginning it was a little bit difficult trying to figure out how to traveling on low budget.. Everything works differently there.. Can you imagine that they have a spacial currency just for tourists and it is not allowed for locals to talk to you .. But this is how it is..
I met a couple (Laura and Alex) from Australia on the Airplane and we traveled to Havana, Vinales and Trinidad together.. Thanks guys.. You are welcome in to visit me in Cologne anytime..
In the end I’ve got to say, Havana Vieje (Old Havana) is the city which makes Cuba so special..
Next destination Belize, Guatemala.. Happy Chrisms and a happy new year..
