District Doctero part I

oder wie man nachts um 5 erfaehrt, das man in dem unsichersten Stadtteil Mexicos uebernachtet.

Anyway, zum Anfang: nachdem wir am morgen noch im schoen warmen Merida eine letzte Buritosmahlzeit zu uns genommen haben (Burito del chefe, sehr zu empfehlen *lecker*), ging es am Mittag mit dem Flieger zurueck nach Mexico City.

Wir waren am Abend mit einem Maedel verabredet, die wir bei der Hochzeit kennen gelernt hatten und uns nochmal Mexico City bei Nacht zeigen wollte. Da wir doch recht frueh in der Stadt landeten, nutzten wir die Chance, noch guten, echten Tequilla zu besorgen.

Am Abend trafen wir Marjorie dann mit einer Freundin in einem Schicki-Micki-Restaurant, der deutsche Preise hatte und gut in London oder Berlin sich befinden koennte.

Nach dem Dinner gings dann richtig los, erst Balck und mexikanische Tanzmusik, dann das gute alte House. Apropos, House waere richtig gut, wenn du kurz vor dem los spielen der House Musik diese durch guten Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, Soul, Rap, Dance, Drumbass oder was weiss ich ersetzt. Egal.

Der unglaubliche Weg zurück ins Hotel und mehr Abenteuer werden später fortgesetzt.

Meet the Mayas

"The day started with a brutal attemp of robbery. But due to amazing reflex and PerforMAN no one was hurt and everybody relaxed quit fast. ... "



After a short night, we started quite early, because we wanted to catch the public bus to Uxmal - at 8:30am. On the way to the bus rob with his slow moves falled back after a few seconds, so he was alone, while he was attacked.. but no serious incident occured... so finally we arrived at the bus station, and we got the bus (9:05am). The place Uxmal is a ancient Maya construction in the middle of nowhere.

Together with 2 others we had a guide - a original Maya guy - who told as about the history of the Mayas and the place...






It is a really spectacular place - which is hard to capture by pictures ...


Unfortunally its not allowed to climb up the pyramide, after someone felt down the stairs last year and died ...



In the picture you can see the ballpark of the ball game. 7 vs 7 players played for some days a game mix between handball, soccer and basketball. The goal was to hit a basket without using your hands. In the Atztec world it was not played with a ball, it was played with a human head!
After a fine lunch we took a bus back to Meridia to prepare out trip back top Mexico City. Big Boy arranged a private guide by a nice mexican lady he met during the wedding.
