Pyramids - this time in Mexico

Some years ago I was, as you have seen before her on my blog, in Mexico. But it was not only sun, sea and shopping for me.

Of course I also wisited the famous Chichén Itzá. It was just 2h's drive from Riviera Maya. Here you can see the famous pyramid. You could no longer get up on it, like I did one the pyramids in Cairo very long time ago. Read more about that here: http://agnetanisbeth.blogspot.com/2011/11/on-top-of-pyramid.html

Here you can se more of the ruins in the area.

And here you can see a Cenote, a natural sink hole. Here you can take a swim, I did not, but I did put a foot in the water... It was to cold for me.

On top of the pyramid

A long time ago, in the late 70's, I was a teenager and started to see the world, so one day I took a trip to Cairo, Egypt with a girlfriend.
Remember that I stayed in a hotel with bugs that "ate" my legs. It was once a vey elegant hotel, you know the type of place that could have been in an Agatha Christie novel. But when I was there with a friend it had seen it's best days.

And in Cairo we went to see the pyramids in Giza and Saqqara. And when we went to the three famous one's in Gize, my 3 friends wanted to mount the pyramid. Crazy idea I know, but I just did not want to say at the bottom of the big tomb, all alone for more than 3 hours that it took to climb up and down. Remember this was in the 70's, tourists where not common at all in the streets in Cairo, or even at the pyramids.
So we hires a guide, it was REALLY expensive, but neccesary, to climb up. It toook 1 h up and even more to go down, and I suffer from vertigo.

Here you can se us, on top of the pyramid. The view was fantastic!

On top of the world

Here you have two other photos, from many years ago. Me on the top of the world, or at least the pyramids of Giza, Cairo. It was a really long way up, but a real horror to go down again.
What a fantastic view!
