Trotsky House:
... visited Trotsky s house having first been to Casa Azul, which was just around the corner and an infinitely brighter and more cheerful place. This, then, made for an interesting contrast. It s the house itself which is really worth seeing, and it gives you a shocking insight into the way Trotsky lived out his final years after being exiled from the Soviet Union. However, the first room you enter is full of photogr... Read the full review: The "Little Fortress" by Starlight81 |

Trotsky House ... happened to Leon Trotsky? He got an ice-pick ... that made his ears burn ..." I m probably not alone in the greater part of my knowledge of Leon Trotsky s final days coming from The Stranglers song. They re right, though. Having somehow survived an earlier attempt on his life, the Russian revolutionary was murdered at his home near Mexico City with an ice-pick to the skull. Seventy-odd years later, the house is preserved much as it was then as Museo Casa de Trotsky (Trotsky s House Museum) in the southern suburb of Coyoacan. Expelled from the Communist Party and exiled from Russia due to differences with Stalin (this is, of course, the slightly abri... Read the full review: Whatever Happened to Leon Trotsky? by Puggers |

Chichen Itza ... the mouth of the well of the Water Magicians" Better known as Chichen Itza it may be, but the translation has a certain ring to it. As the name suggests, the ancient Mayan site is built around a revered body of water; the Sacred Cenote. This area of south-eastern Mexico, the Yucatan peninsula, has an unusual relationship with the wet stuff; there is no fresh surface water anywhere across the land mass. Instead, it runs underground; a vast subterranean network linking up a series of pools hidden away in caves and sinkholes - Cenotes, such as that around which Chichen Itza was constructed. The classic image of Chichen Itza (voted one of the "New Seven W... Read the full review: Wonder of the Water Magicians by Puggers |

Chichen Itza ... visited Chichen Itza in July 2003 as part of a two week stay in Playa Del Carmen. Chichen Itza is located around 120 miles to the west of Playa Del Carmen. Having already visited the Mayan ruins of Tulum, I was really keen to see what is considered the crown jewels of Mexico s Mayan sites. The trip I took was organised through Kuoni and the cost for both transportation and the entrance to the site with a guide was $60 US Dollars. The guide went by the name (I kid you not) Duran Duran! The journey from my hotel, the Riu Tequilla, to Chichen Itza took around 3 hours and involved an early start. The drive intially along the Mexican highway 307 was a comfortable one un...
