Happy Passover

OK... so it was like 2 weeks since my last update, and I spent them in Cancun and then back to the most amazing place so far, Playa Del Carmen and back again to Cancun for the Seder.




In this 2 weeks John (the Canadian guy) left back home, and I met Alon, good ARS guy from Bat-Yam. We had some snorkeling in stalactite caves, too many crazy parties, girls, too much alcohol and we even snicked into 5 stars hotels using there jacuzzi, watching the dolphins, eating steaks and drinking champagne, in 2 words Great Fucxxxx Time.


I was also went to a great show of bullfighting, a big bull turning into a steak, you could see the blood sparkling all over and how the bull is bleeding to death until the Matador stick the sword right in the center of the bull´s head. After the bull is totally dead they cut the ears and throw it to the crowd, so I hold the bleeding ears and took some photos with it.


The Lel Seder (Passover) was ok but not as I accepted it to be, I had to pay 18 dollars as a student else its 33 (well, you can pay less since its like a donation but then they give you the bad eye). It was in 5 stars hotel really cool place but the plates, glasses and SAKUM was from plastic and the food was horrible, actually when I think of it there was no food only chicken soup and chicken as main dish, with no side dish. well one good thing the Mazot was the best I have ever ate and the wine definitely maid the job. The Rabai read the AGADA, DEY BE HAUA and we sang some songs. It was really nice to meet once again all the israelis I met in other places in Mexico.

Very regretfully, since there was no food and I was still dead hungry, I had to end up my day with a Hot-Dog (probably even maid from pork). haa... and also the beers I had that day, so not even couple of Kosher hours for me.

Finally after a long journey, over too many electricity stores and checking around I found myself a small tiny, second hand camera, (probably stolen, but who gives a shit) just as I like. I found it in some dangerous street where all the drug addicts that steel stuff come to sell it for cheep. So now I have a cool IXUS 60 with 1 Giga SD card for only 140 bucks.

Party time....

Well, wow... Playa Del Carmen, the most crazy party place ever in the world, even crazier than Thailand.
The drunkenness American and Canadian girls are so fucking crazy when they get drunk and oh... boy the stuff they do...!!!
So...I have been in almost every bar, club, disco and party over there and getting drunk until 06:00 AM every single day for 5 days.
Besides dealing with the hang over each morning my day was pretty boring, until the night after.

But in my last day in Playa Del Carmen I went to some Cenote (kind of lake) place which is similar to the SACHNE in Israel, I was snorkeling over there and also jumped from 4 meter cliff. I got to Cancun which suppose to be really dangerous at night, (I met a guy who almost got beaten to death, all his face is blue and purple) but I was walking there all by my own and felt really secure.

I went to the Coco Bungo club, more then 3000 people in a huge club with shows of the Matrix, Michel Jackson, Queen, Guns n Roses, The Mask and so on...
Great party, great dancing and once again tons of Americans, it was awesome.
The day after I hang around the beaches of Cancun, and took the ferry to Isla Mujeres.
 
In Isla Mujeres I rented a bicycles and explored the whole island, there is a turtle farm with huge sea turtles and also a cat shark that you can go and swim with it in the water.
I was holding the shark and a sea hedgehog (kipod yam) and had some pics with it.
 
Isla Mujeres is a quite tiny island with many israelis and a few israeli restaurants, good atmosphere that you can hooked to it really easy. Basically what we did is there is getting drunk, watching movies, soccer games and even the Maccabi game on the internet.
 
chao till next time,

Viva Mexico

So, after being in Lanqin playing volleyball, chess (and yeah... wining once again, Elad), and doing the tubes, Me and Dotan (israeli guy I met on the hostel) left to Flores another town in Gutemalla. We went to see the temples of the MAYA people at the sun rise which mean to get up at fucking 02:30 AM, we got to the site at 05:00 and because of a lousy weather with too much fog, we couldn't see the sun rise but we heard all the jungle animals waking up, which was really nice. Then we explored all the Tikal site for 9 more hours and on the way we saw some monkeys, toucans and even a tarantula that I hold on my hands.

The Foggy Day at 05:00 AM

The day after me and Dotan left to Mexico, we took a shuttle bus that goes all the way throw Belize. Belize border was fucking expensive they charge from Israelis, Japanese, Swiss, and Brazilians 50 bucks (all the others nationalities can cross for free) for visa to get throw and yeah... only for one day pass so now if I´ll go there I will have to pay 50 dollars again.
On the way out from the country they charge 15 bucks more but this they take from all nationalities. well it was very expensive country for a very short visit.

Viva Mexico, ho yeah baby, if I said on Roatan - Honduras heaven on earth I guess that was only the intro, since Tulum and Playa Del Carmen are THE BEST PLACES EVER.

Take the best postcard you have ever seen in your life add to this girls in tiny bikinis, topless MILF, music, pineapple, bananas, nachos and corona beers, is there anything else missing in that equation, well I guess not.


We (Dotan, John and me) spent 4 days in Tulum on the beach, snorkeled and visiting the Maya ruins in Tulum then we moved to Playa Del Carmen, which is just like a normal American town with Starbucks, Wall Mart, MacDonald's and fancy hotels. ¨Back to Civilization, baby...¨ as John define it.
