- Off to Mexico – first stop: Tulum
(sorry, only google translate 🙁 )
So the weekend was over and we were flying over Atlanta to Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. As we did not want to do the Cancun, which was predominantly frequented by tourists, we sat in the airport directly in a bus to the Tulum 2 hours away with ...
- Valladolid – Ruins, Ruins and more ruins
