			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a few days since my last post and a lot has happened in between.<br />
I have met the Mexican culture in it&#8217;s different aspects.</p>
<p>The first one is the Mayan culture which is still alive among the Mexican people. I have noticed this while visiting some of the ancient beauty that was left by the Mayan people. I visited <a title="Chizen Itza" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza" target="_blank">Chichen Itza</a>, which is one of the seven wonders of the world, and I must say that it is truly amazing to see how the Mayans were able to build such a fantastic city.<br />
Later that day we visited the city Valladolid which is an authentic Mexican city without tourist-based buildings and restaurants so we were able to eat some real Mexican food.</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>Today`s program had some more animals in it as we first visited Coba as an ancient Mayan site in the jungle (we could now climb a big temple,  which isn&#8217;t allowed in Chichen Itza) and later on we went to the nearest lake for a meet and greet with some wild crocodiles.<br />
Later on we went to Punta Laguna to see some other animals in their natural habitat. Punta Laguna is a nature reserve in the jungle which isn&#8217;t well known by tourists. Within this reserve we saw spider-monkeys, woodpeckers, bats and other animals. This was truly amazing.</p>
<p>Between these excursion days we got to know another part of the Mexican culture, being the night life. Playa del Carmen has some great spots to go out, drink and meet new people. I went to Señor Frogs and Dubai Club but I am sure that there are more to come.</p>
<p>I will close this post by telling you that I arrived in my second hotel yesterday which has luxury written all over it; from the bellboy who parks our car, over the venetion gondola and the pool bar, to the jacuzzi in the room.</p>
<p>Adios</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say, Mexico really is the land of tequila and it&#8217;s not that hard to prove it.<br />
I had tequila when &#8230;<br />
&#8230; visiting some local shops in Cancun.<br />
&#8230; going out in the corona bar in Cancun.<br />
&#8230; being a judge in a bikini contest on our hotel&#8217;s beach (Q: do you have pictures; A: yes I have).<br />
&#8230; standing in a line at our hotel&#8217;s Mexican buffet.<br />
They even showed &#8220;A shot at love with Tila Tequila&#8221; on MTV.<br />
The city where we are staying &#8220;Playa del Carmen&#8221; even has a special tequila store with over 100 different kinds and brands of tequila.</p>
<p><span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p>Off course there were times when I wasn&#8217;t drinking tequila and this was when I was just enjoying the beautiful beach with the clear blue water which changes colours every time a ray of sun touches it.</p>
<p>This day we visited the city Tulum and more specific it&#8217;s wonderful Mayan site. It was wonderful to see the pieces of ancient art which were the houses the Mayan people of the Yacatan area lived in. This site also has a marvelous beach which I can&#8217;t describe, you will have to wait for the pictures.</p>
<p>Later that day we went to visit one of the cenotes (a limestone sinkhole filled with water) near our hotel but yet again, it&#8217;s beauty cannot be described in words.</p>
<p>I will conclude this post but I will keep you posted within a few days.</p>
