Your own chance to visit the Cenotes?
During the less-than-harmonious part of my stay in Bishkek, I’ve taken the time to watch some of all the countless hours of TV shows that I downloaded to my laptop before going away.
I started with a couple of the aforementioned “Boston Legal” episodes (recommended - James Spader is as good as always) to get my mood up. However, I quickly started to watch some episodes of the BBS series “Planet Earth” that I got from my Australian friends Kate & Allan Reed, who I met in Flores in Guatemala. DO have a look at their travel blog at http://www.diysell.com/blog - they have some truly amazing pictures from their trip to the Galapagos Islands.
But I was going on about the Cenotes - if you don’t remember how ecstatic I was over the underwater cave systems in the Yucatan peninsula, you need to go back to the entry “Tulum: cenote snorkeling”. Sorry about the language in the article, this was while I was still writing in Swedish.
When I got to episode four of the series (called “Caves”), one of the sections of the episode was about those exact Cenotes where I was snorkeling! Wow, was it exciting to see what I had been missing by only snorkeling and not diving there, and it made me even more sure that I need to come back someday!
Another way for you to experience those Cenotes, short of going there yourself, is to watch the IMax movie “Amazing Caves”, which is also shot in the Dos Ojos cave system. It’s fairly good as IMax movies go, as long as you can stand the voice of narrating Liam Neeson that is! Oh, in Sweden you can see IMax movies at Naturhistoriska Muséet in Stockholm, and I think someplace in Gothenburg.

"my name is Denny Craig, Denny Craig..'' Boston Legal rules... and J Spader only takes acting jobs a coupa times a year to pay the bills, and if they take him to exotic locales... re-spect! :-)
Kul att se att du tar dig fram och jag hoppas att du slipper fler missöden :)
Åh, man ska kanske skriva på utrikiska...
Good to see that you takes you front and I hope you don't have any more mishaps with the locals...

I don't know about Mr. Spader and exotic locales - Boston doesn't seem that exotic to me?
Definitely no more hishaps with thew locals - everyone has been really friendly.
As a matter of fact, I have just hired myself a personal assistant for Friday. Cool, it is the first time I had one of those!
