Du Chiapas au Quintana Roo (états du sud du Méxique), ce ne fût que la succession de paysages magnifiques. Nous rencontrons de plus en plus de voyageurs comme nous: suisses, français, américains, canadiens, argentins qui parcourent les Amériques en voiture ou parfois en vélo... avec qui on partage nos trucs (où dormir sans payer, trouver de l'eau et internet...) et/ou on discute autour d'un verre et que nous retrouveront peut-être plus tard sur notre trajet. Who knows ?
Nous avons eu notre premier passager dans Bip Bip: Benjamino, un collègue du Pakistan avec qui nous avons passé quelques jours à Tulum nottament. Nous espérons avoir d'autres visites le long de notre chemin...
Sur cette vidéo, vous verrez San Cristobal de Las Casas dans les montagnes du Chiapas, les célèbres ruines de Palenque dans la jungle ainsi que celle de Tulum au bord de la mer des Caraïbes, deux cenotes (sorte de puit naturel formé dans le calcaire) dans lesquelles on a fait du snorkeling, une lagune remplie de poissons colorés et enfin Playa Del Carmen où nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer Dominique, Nathalie, Tope et Chubby ainsi que Juan, Julia y Carrita en espérant avoir très vite de leurs nouvelles.
Vous verrez que le masque, le tuba et les palmes ont été un excellent investissment!
A Playa Del Carmen, Chrissy aime raconter que les gens installés dans les appartement luxueux au bord de la mer payent 1500 dollars par semaine pour en fait avoir une vue sur nous, qui étions installés directement sur la plage gratuitement.... Comme d'habitude, on attirait l'attention et les gens venaient nous parler par dizaine par jour. Il semble qu'on réalise le rêve de beaucoup.
On fait l'expérience d'un dimanche sur la plage publique à Playa del Carmen, où les méxicains s'y installent en famille pour la journée avec table/chaises, casier de bières et glacière remplie de bouffe. Tout le monde, se gare les uns derrière les autres. Si tu te gares le premier, tu partiras le dernier ou bien tu siffles et les gens arrivent petit à petit pour déplacer leur voiture.
Très prochainement une autre video sur le reste de la péninsule du Yucatan et sur notre nouvelle vie ici à Oaxaca où nous allons y rester un mois pour apprendre l'espagnol.
Chiapas, Quintana Roo (Mexico's southern states), was a succession of magnificent scenery. We are meeting more and more other travelers like us, Swiss, French, American, Canadian, Argentine traversing the Americas by car or by bike sometimes ...with whom we share our secrets (where to sleep without paying; find water and internet ...) and share a drink and toast that maybe meeet up later on our trip. Who knows?
We had our first passenger in Beep Beep: Benjamino, a colleague from Pakistan with whom we spent a few days in Tulum. We hope to have further visits along our way ...
In the following video you will see San Cristobal de Las Casas in the Chiapas mountains, the famous ruins of Palenque in the jungle and that of Tulum along the Caribbean Sea, two cenotes (natural sink sort of formed in limestone) where we went snorkeling, a lagoon filled with colorful fish and finally Playa Del Carmen where we had the pleasure to meet Dominique, Nathalie, Tope and Chubby (Quebec) and also Juan and Julia Carrita (Argentina) while sharing the beach in Playacar and are hoping to have news of them soon.
You will note the that mask, snorkel and fins were an excellent investment!
In Playa Del Carmen, Chrissy likes to laugh about the poor rich folks that rent luxurious apartment in the seaside only to pay 1500 dollars a week for the pleasure to actually have a view of us, who were installed directly on the beach for free .... As usual, BipBip attracted too much attention and people would come talk to us by the bucket-full. It seems that we are managing the dreams of many.
We experienced a Sunday on the public beach in Playa del Carmen, where the Mexicans settled there with family for the day with table / chairs, crate of beer and cooler filled with food. Everyone parkes their cars nearly touching like it is important to 'share' the same space (the idea of parking 'over there' where there is no one else is NOT a Mexican paradigm). If you're the first, you will leave the last or - interestingly 'organized' all you need to do is give a whistle and people meander over to shuffle cars.
Very soon we will post another video on the rest of the Yucatan Peninsula and on our new life here in Oaxaca. We have our new apartment and are settling in for a MONTH of Spanish lessons!
