MY TRIP TO BEAUTIFUL MEXICO - TULUM AND CARRIBEAN SEA.

So I was thinking what comes in the Days after the End of the World?

For me was it a journey to a PARADISE!! 

I have never been in such a one. So happy to be there.

 

I will publish more pictures now, because I really love TULUM and Carribean Sea!!

Yucatan Peninsula.

I landed by bus after Cancun (which I don´t like so much...) in beautiful TULUM! 

Tulum is about 145 kilometers south of Cancun and the highway connecting both is well-paved. On the highway I stopped in Playa del Carmen I celebrated the christmas I was writing before this post.

I was invited to Tulum. I didn´t know what for a beauty expects me.

TULUM may be best-known for its ancient Mayan ruins, which attract a steady stream of day-trippers (ufff, a LOT!), cruise passengers and tour buses. Go and buy the ticket already at 8am, not to stay in a queu for hours, after all buses land.  Entrance to the park is $10, which also gives you access to a beach where you can swim beneath the ruins. Guided tours cost extra.
The complex of crumbling structures here is smaller and less impressive than some other Mayan sites like Chichen Itza (well, there is also overcrowded!), but its location atop seaside cliffs is one of the most scenic ruin sites on the Yucatan. The complex is surrounded by a wall (Tulum means wall) and was inhabited for centuries before Spanish colonialists arrived in the early 1500s.

I visited this place in December, it was just for me a perfect weather, not hot...

I couldn´t see here “cenotes,” which are water caves that are part of a network of rivers under the peninsula, but on the other places I traveled. Cenotes is an amazing water cave!! Just a must to see and swim in it...so pure, so relaxing.

 TULUM is another Mayan place - there are more and less ruins, but in the amazing surrounding! The Even the Carribean Sea make this overcrowded place of the dramatically situated Maya ruin to a breathtaking place to rest and see the culture so near in one. It is a spectacular coastline – with its confectioner sugar sands, jade-green water, balmy breezes and bright sun – make it one of the top beaches in Mexico (I am sure!). Before I came here I visited almost empty BEAUTIFUL  Isla Holbox (north of Cancún). Oh. I was in paradise!! You must take a boat and after 30 mins you get in Bohemian vibe and natural beauty! It still doesn´t draw an eclectic crowd...

 With my Czech friend Dasa happy to have a humurous fellow!

See the video with the beautiful view:

 

Real men as Mayans... you want to feel the touch of history through this pleasant fake!

!

 A bike you can rent everywhere there; in hotel it is fro free... or you can rent for a day for 10 dollars.

 This is a habbit or "sport" of the habitants here... I forgot the name of this "sport", I am sorry!

 One of the sportlers asks for money... it is alright, but you just spent so much money at every coner!

The Riviera Maya on a shoestring with hotels and on the other side the sea.

 Tulum is luxury, but the luxury here is nature and the beach. Even a room costs $150. I had a great luck I slept in a hotel with my Czech friends, there had one place free and then in a house of a friend of my friend, who has there a big house. All was a fortune I am so thankful for. I could feel this unique luxury very near... 

AND BACK TO TEH CARRIBEAN SEA!!

I LOVE IT!

I feel sooo good here!

I just feel like new born!!

A DREAMLAND is so near.... I am a sun-seeker to its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches...

                            
There is one big drawback. And what about drinking & eating COCO??      

 THE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA!!
I was just like in heaven when I saw this beach, this natural hotels  - the mostly "hotels" are just for max. 8 people, there are made from natural materials, no beton or what we can see in the most see resorts over the world, or just in Cancun, the rabbits-houses for thousands tourists... here you are the unique traveler in an unique hotel. The beach is so soft and the ocean so warm and so blue... I have never seen such a natural ocean-beach-beauty! I was so happy being here, thankful to have this unique chance!!  

 forgo the luxury digs!

 I lent a bike... this was just a great chance to discover fast the surroundings!!
I love bike so I loved the discovery!!

 And enjoyed the fruits...served there always fresh!--- just here is a small fake... you know it, don´t you?

POET´S PROTEST MANIFESTO of the 21st century - PEOPLE, WRITERS, POETS DON´T SLEEP - SPEAK UP!!

POETS´ PROTEST MANIFESTO: WRITERS, POETS, ARTISTS DON´T SLEEP - SPEAK UP!!

Authors: MILENA ODA & TOPALANTE

POETS´ PROTEST MANIFESTO FOR WRITERS, POETS, CREATIVE PEOPLE OF the 21st century. Manifesto for all people who are occupied with the future of human intelligence, creative spirit and abundance!

BE, MOVE, GIVE, PROTEST AND SPEAK UP!!

We call upon each of you, writer, poet - don´t sleep – see, the society has fallen into a deep, comfortable sleep!!

We call on you to:

SHAKE THINGS UP, YOU DON`T AGREE WITH, DON´T SLEEP!

DON´T BE AFRAID TO EXPRESS YOURSELF!!

DON´T BE FEARFUL TO DO!

We mean ourself too, we must be awaken!

„We are the beaten generation!“ We are beaten by the massmedias,social medias, best sellers, superstars, and growing stupidity and ignorance of people around us.

TELL US: Are your worried about your message in your work for the world?

AS WRITERS WE SHOULD SPREAD OUR MESSAGE!  

We should express how we are able to spread our message, how we can move the world around us.

We speak to the writers, poets and creative people who are able to change the things in their suroundings, in their world. The small world means the big one.

WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE AND MISSION AS A WRITER IN THIS WORLD? Reflect, what are you writing about?!
Do you have to serve the publisher? Do you have to serve the policy?
Do you serve the degradation of the millions people?
Or do you want to serve the world´s humanity? The world´s change for better?

How are you worried about the word & world? How?

To be worried about the words & world but in fact be very sleepy!? It doesn´t work efficiently!!

WE THINK:

We are too focused on ourself, on our egos!! The world became more egositic and materialistic.

Call on to Bestsellers:
You are worried, if you get more interviews, if the important newspaper writes about your book (this is the real value!!), the publisher has already paid the reviewers to write about you, - this is evident – you are the best seller!! Bravo! You managed that, I respect your work, surely you love it as well!

Your ego is important, and the lust of the million people who read your erotic thriller – this is alright, people need fun, entertainment, - they need You!

Well, no! No!

Every writer must know – this is not the right, eligible literature, which keeps people awake in the brain!

Or do we allow the walk towards stupidity when we continue with such best sellers? I am afraid we already face the stupidity and ignorance... It is bad! But not bad for powerful people who like to move their direction the uneducated, dull people... Hm...

Writers, poets, artists our occupation, our goal is to change the thinking and change the spirit!

YOU MUST AWAKE people, because they have fallen assleep with the bestsellers like erotic thrillers etc...

POETS, WRITERS, KEEP THE 99% AWAKE!!

FIGHT AGAINST THE SPREADING STUPIDITY, CONFORMITY, AGONY AND LETHARGY!!

Take care about our world, take care about the world around you!!

Use the power of your words!!

Express yourself!

Express the pain, express the loss of the lost people, of the 99%!

We show the light out of the tunnel, we are here for the 99%, to show them how to wake up!!

Don´t serve daily the 1%!

Be awake! Be here! Be more!

PROTEST!

Our words, writers, poets, must quake people!!

Our words, writers, poets, must shake the dead cells of the brain!

Our words must be more powerful than the power of the powerful people, the 1%.

Our words must motivate, not to fall asleep into ignorance and agony, again, or forever!

Writer, poet we call upon you, do more for people, not only for your ego!

Do more for our planet!

Do more for your selfconciousness, you are not alone here!

Move your ass!

Move your brain!

Move sleepy people – the right direction to change the world for better!!

Give people power through your words!!

Give people a new hope!

Give people your education!

Give people the clarity about our world!

Writers, poets, be more than the best seller!!

Writers, poets, creative people start now to manifest the new change for our planet, for our world!

It is our – maybe last – chance to change the old, outworn, bored society, don´t slack off, don´t fall asleep !

NOTICE – REFLECT – DO NOT COMPROMISE – HOLD ONTO THE INNER STRENGtH - EMPOWER YOURSELF AND THE OTHERS AND TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE CHANGE!!

Do it now!

Manifest!
PROSTEST!

I am a writer not a fucking best seller and I want to create and care about our world!

Be a writer, not a fucking best seller - who counts money, „likes“, „friends“ and fame and be a creative mind who loves to spread the message!!

We must care about our world, planet and our life here!

NOW!!

This is our protest manifesto and you who agree with us, please send it further, spread the word and give us a sign, you agree…

We must move, shake up the world!!

We want to manifest the world NOW - and YOU?

SHARE WITH US THIS MANIFESTO!

Yours,

ON THE ROAD ON THE MOTORCYCLE: Welcome to PENNSYLVANIA.

DEPART FROM NYC DIRECTION: PENNSYLVANIA etc...! 

June 24th we, Topalante.es /see his homepage http://topalante.es/ and me left Jeff´s House, it is like a home, with very kind people around, Jeff and Rebeka, the owner were there to help us, to leave safe and without worries NYC. More people were there with us. They were excited with us!! I was very excited, also a bit nervous... I haven´t so much experience on a motorbike, but I am a traveler. And as a child I loved it when my father took me to the Stara Paka´s Hill on his motorcycle, sitting in front of him... OK, now I am older but the child remains in me!!
 From Queens Village we headed through the rest of Queens, Bronx, passed the wonderful Washington bridge... and direction Pennsylvania! Topalante, the rider crossed the whole Europe, Russia till the South Korea, and then USA - from San Diego to New York City, from NYC to Key West.
He knows driving very well... I can rely on him, he can also on me, I don´t give up, even it is quite though to sit behind too... but it is also somehow a joy I want to share with him.

 We arrived to Pensylvania! William Penn came 1671 into the SILVANUS- in Latin: Forest and "founded" the countrx...! It is the state of independence - the state of Amish People -about them you can read on my blog here )in German) - Appalachian Mountains, Battle of Gettysburg, Pittsburg, beautiful lake areas...etcetera.
