Mexico陸路過Guatemala (Crossing from Mexico to Guatemala by land)
由Mexico陸路過去Guatemala有幾個關卡,Chiapas省有邊境小鎮 Ciudad Cuauhtemoc、Tapachula 和Frontera Corozal。
從San Cristobal出發,地理上應到邊境小鎮 Ciudad Cuauhtemoc 再過
從San Cristobal出發,地理上應到邊境小鎮 Ciudad Cuauhtemoc 再過
境轉車。我在tuxtla gutierrez被OCC的姐姐點左去Tapachula,因為那裡係有車去Guatemala,但主要去Guatemala city,而且車次不密,如miss了一班,可能要等12小時,而這個鎮對我並沒有什麼要看的地方。如要到Antigua/Panajachel,就要在Guatemala邊境轉坐chicken bus。(但要留意假日班次相對少、而last bus也早完)
而Frontera Corozal就比較接近Flores/Tikal。所以,如像我般由Mexico Chiapas先往Antigua/Panajachel,再去Tikal,而又要返回Mexico Palenque;我建議到Ciudad Cuauhtemoc 再過境轉車到Panajachel,回程才由Tikal到Bethel或La Técnica坐船到Frontera Corozal。(為省時,我take bus再join了tour參觀邊境Bonampak和Yaxchilán,再坐bus往Palenque,約7pm到達)

| Yaxchilán |
***從Frontera Corozal 出發,要轉船、轉車,如行李可以輕省點會更好,因為坐船要由岸上帶行李到船上,要經過泥路。
過境留意其實沒有所謂的離境稅,但當全車人都照pay,又話要receipt要回頭返去市區銀行,很花時間。我觀察就是san Juan司機同關員串謀。邊境有人會同你兌換Mexican Peso成quetzal ,但最好帶美金在銀行換,黑市有風險***

多姿多彩墨西哥Vamos a Mexico
我在墨西哥兩年裡,每個週末都會到附近的小鎮遊玩,如有長假就更會到國內其他景點或鄰近中美國家。墨西哥地貌多變,東南西北各有不同,北部是乾旱沙漠、溫差很大;首都墨西哥城處於中部高原地區,5,000 米的山脈和美麗殖民地小鎮都近在咫尺;東南部是潮濕的熱帶雨林,其中隱藏著瑪雅遺址,走到海岸那邊就是加勒比海的陽光與海灘,亦是世界第二大珊瑚礁。
During these 2 years when I was in Mexico, I have been traveling to the nearby towns every weekend. If there is vacation, I will even travel to sightseeing points farther or some neighbor countries. Mexico is with different landscape from north to south, North is a desert with big temperature differences during the day, Mexico city is located in the Middle highland area with many beautiful colonial towns; South east is the rainforest where Maya heritage coincide and there comes Carribean Sea near costal area.
無論你喜歡看古蹟、殖民地建築,或是爬雪山、看峽谷,或是享受陽光與海灘;墨西哥都可以滿足你!
You will feel satisfied to visit Mexico no matter you like Maya heritage, colonial building, hiking in gorge or snowy mountain, or enjoy the sun & beach!
以下綜合了我在不同城市的遊歷時間,只作參考,有些地方當然可以合拼(如4和5)

我愛火山 I love volcanoes (II) - Nevado de Toluca
Another volcano sat nearby Mexico City is Nevado de Toluca (4690m), México's fourth highest peak. It has a 1.5-km-wide summit crater and attracts many tourists. I have a Mexican friend living in Toluca and thus I visited there after staying overnight at their house. With them, I can really feel the kindness of Mexicans towards friends!
另一個在墨西哥城附近的火山是托盧卡火山(4690米),墨西哥的第四最高峰。它有一個1.5公里寬的火山口,並吸引了眾多的遊客。我有一個墨西哥朋友住在托盧卡,因此我在他們的家留了一晚,再去參觀。他們讓我真正感受到墨西哥人的好客熱情!
I also took the chance to see around the city Toluca which is an industrial city but also got something good to see for a day.
我也趁機城市周圍看看,雖然這是一個工業城市,但也有足夠一日遊的景點。
==============Practical Information===================
1. It takes only 1 hr from Toluca to Mexico City (if for airport, add up 30mins) by bus.
The frequency is around 1 per hour.
2. To go up the volcano from Toluca, it was MXN 500 (round trip) by taxi in Jan 2012.
If you want to drive by yourself, take Highway 134 then Highway 3.
3. Best season to climb is dry season Nov to March.
4. For food, the simple but famous La Gloria Chocolateria y Pan 1876 is good to try some tacos al pastor. If you like hot chocolate, dont miss the traditional ones there.

我愛火山 I love volcanoes (I) - Popocatépetl
Living in Mexico City, you will get used to have some slight shaking motion daily with the nearby volcanoes. After the serious earthquake in 1985, many buildings are required to be earthquake proof. During the days when the volcano is less active, it is allowed to get closer to see the beautiful summit of Popocatépetl (5452m)
在墨西哥城生活,你會習慣每天因附近火山而有一些輕微的搖晃震動。在1985年嚴重的地震發生後,許多建築物都必須經過抗震測試。當火山活動少的日子,可以更接近地看到美麗的波波卡特佩特火山(5452米)
I have visited the easily accessible Amecameca to do a day trip but you may also choose to stay there for 1 or 2 nights with camping along the hiking trail from La Joya.
(Of course, dont forget to hire a trekking guide if you want to climb the volcano).
我就到過交通方便的Amecameca,玩了一天;但你也可以選擇在那裡留上1或2晚,從La Joya沿登山步道露營。
(當然,如果你想攀登火山,不要忘了聘請一個當地行山的導遊)。

1. Amecameca is the popular access point to Popocatépetl from Mexico by 2 hours in bus.
And then you may take shared transport or taxi to Paso de Cortés (3650m) to appreciate the summit.
2. Shared van is available only occasionally, so car rental or taking taxi is necessary. (I tried bargaining and taxi return price is around 300MXN at Feb 2012)
3. The plaza in Amecameca is with a market selling many stuff and many food stalls where the beautiful church stands under the beautiful scenery of volcano. A typical food made is Cecina.
危險都市(I)-Veracruz?
I used to travel around Mexico City at weekends and sometimes to other provinces at longer holiday.
This time, I have chosen Veracruz, a costal city. However, quite a number of Mexican friends have been worried with my solo travel there. Because they have heard horrible news particularly for the costal area which is convenient for drug trafficking.
Well, lets go together and see how this city is.
我多於週末周遊墨西哥城附近,有時在更長的假期會到其他省份。
這一次,我選擇了一個海濱城市Veracruz。然而,相當多的墨西哥朋友都擔心我單獨旅遊。因為他們聽到一些可怕的新聞,發生在方便販毒的沿海區域。
那就讓我們一起去看看這個城市是怎樣的。

Independence Day of Mexico 墨西哥獨立日
Independence Day of Mexico is celebrated on 15 and 16 Sept with the start of the president shouting "Viva Mexico, Viva Hidalgo....." from the balcony of the National Palace in Mexico City at 11pm.
Then with thousands of Mexicans in zocalo, singing the national anthem, the festival continued with lots of fireworks. This is called "el día del grito" or Day of cry for independence.
墨西哥9月15日和16日開始慶祝獨立日,首先晚上11點總統會從墨西哥城National Palace陽台,高喊“墨西哥萬歲,Hidalgo萬歲......”。然後,成千上萬的墨西哥人聚在ZOCALO唱國歌,再以放煙花來延續。這就是“el día del grito”。
這是紀念Miguel Hidalgo在1810年9月16日於Dolores鎮對西班牙的反抗。
Then 16 Sept is followed by parades and marching bands in Paseo de Reforma ( el Angel de la Independencia ) and Zocalo. Lots of people will be crowded around to watch this while many related souvenirs are sold along. You can find people waving national flag, trumpets, hats and scarfs in green/white/red.
跟著是9月16日是在 Paseo de Reforma ( el Angel de la Independencia ) 和 Zocalo廣塲上的遊行、樂隊。這幾處都會被圍得水洩不通,許多相關的紀念品也會在附近出售。你可以見到很多人揮舞著國旗,帶有綠色/白色/紅色的喇叭、帽子和圍巾。
At this month, it is also the season for serving Chile en Nogada, and many familities will be having this dish for celebration.
在這一個月,也是Chile en Nogada的合時季節,很多家裡都有這度菜來慶祝。
