Dear Friend and Reader,
Today we visited The Gran Hotel in downtown Mexico City.
This hotel is jewelry located at the gran plaza (zocalo) in Mexico City.
If you get ever the chance to have a delicious breakfast in downtown Mexico City you should go to the Gran Hotel in 16 de Septiembre in Mexico’s great plaza called the Zocalo.
It is a real must go when you stay in the Capital of Mexico City. The prices are not too expensive for a buffet at the Terrace of that great Hotel. The view you have to the Zocalo is really gorgeous. It is a real beautiful view from the terrace to the Zocalo and the surrounding buildings.
You see the palacio nacional (National Palace), the cathedral, and if you visit the place on a Sunday morning you see the spectacle of the Indian dancers and the sound of drums all over the place.
After a good breakfast you go for a digestive walk at the Zocalo and see the spectacle from near.
If you come back after a long time to see the Zocalo it is a real attraction and you enjoy the walk and the time when you stay there. On Sunday many people walk through the streets nearby because they are closed to the cars and you can view the exhibition-windows of the great shops. Even on Sunday the shops are open and you really enjoy walking through and take a look to the merchandize without any hurry.
The time flies by and without notice it’s already time for lunch, but if you are in Mexico the lunch hour is later than anywhere else. The Mexican people like to lunch after 14:00hours.
Always remember that you breakfast light even if you enjoy of a buffet. In the afternoon you dine in the downtown area or even at the same hotel. If you like to change the taste than you also can go to another restaurant nearby.
Talk to you soon

Escape to the pearl of the Mexican Caribbean Sea
Dear Reader and Friend,
On 21 of April we visited the pearl of the Mexican Caribbean called Cancun.
We went there on a nice Sunday afternoon by Click Mexicana. The flight was besides some turbulence shortly after take off a quiet one without major problems.
Click Mexicana is quiet a good opportunity for a low fare flight within the republic of Mexico.
We landed at almost 20:00 hours at Cancun. The duration of the flight was about one hour and three quarter. When we left the plane you felt immediately the moisture and the high temperature of the Caribbean Sea.
It has been quiet a while since my last visit in Cancun and I can tell you that after the last Hurricane a lot changed in this town and hotel area. You can’t even tell that there was that big hurricane a few years ago. The hotels rising of the ground and it seems it will never stop. When driving the street along the hotels it seems that it never ends.
When thinking back and remembering the last stay in Cancun it is tremendous the change this Caribbean pearl has going through to attract every year more tourists. We accommodated us in the beautiful hotel Melia with it splendor green areas and pool areas.
I tell you my grandsons were fascinated of the swimming pool and all the surroundings of this huge hotel.
When staying in those hotels you sometimes forget that you’re in Mexico.
After two days we left Cancun and drove by bus to Playa del Carmen. This small tourist town exploded and the size of the town has almost doubled. You know what I liked best of that town, the streets and a part of the tourist area is closed to the normal traffic and you can walk easy through the streets and enjoy all the shops and beauty of that town. The night life is something you’ll never forget. It is a charming city and the city life contrary to Cancun looks more European style because of the walk-ways which lets you enjoy more the beauty of the town. The restaurants with their Mexican and international cuisine invite you for dinner.
We stopped at a Thai restaurant and the food was exquisite with portions just right for the night. Afterwards we took a nice walk through the main street and looked at the shops the variety of articles.
Every time when you travel with women to the beach they stop at the bikini shop because there is always an excuse with the bikini they wear and they need every time a new one.
But every beauty travel comes to an end so did this stay at Playa del Carmen. It is a pity that everything you enjoy comes to an end so fast. My grandchildren enjoyed that trip and they liked to stay more time.
Talk to you soon
