We stayed in Tulum for a week, had a cabana right on the beach and just took it easy.
I don't usually go for beach holidays, but I was in need of some relaxation after a stressful year and this was perfect - no phones, no television, no computers. And I wanted some sunshine - England had a miserable summer last year. It did take some time to get used to the heat, I normally only get that on the London Underground! ;-)
We did go on some day trips though and when the week was up we travelled on to Chichen Itza, Valladolid and Isla Mujeres.
Thanks for reading my report on New York. It is really a cool place to visit but I haven’t been there in the last few years; hence the information is a little sketchy.
This is a different trip than my other destinations as I tend to stay with family and friends so I can't comment on the hotel situation this time.

Hi Christian
Thanks for your comment on my report. Although I have good, if vague, memories of Koblenz, I do agree that it's those valleys with their hills, villages, castles and vineyards that took me back for further visits.
It's a good co-incidence that a beautiful photo of the Mosel valley appears on your profile page today. I shall look forward to that report!
Cheers
David

Hi Christian,
I was in New Zealand for 2 weeks in April 2007. It was beginning to get cold & rainy. Then I got sick & did not get a chance to really explore New Zealand; however, thanks to your beautiful photographs I am able to enjoy the wonders of New Zealand.

I love your picture for the lighting up on the underside of this arch (not only a silhouette) but mostly the waves across the sand which are like a rugby game being played between waves coming in and the backwash returning. This effect I watched often and there is no picture than yours, that I know, that shows it better! Well done!

Congratulations on winning PoM:) I wouldn't choose a better one myself - the photo is really amazing and somehow symbolizes holidays well - careless, laid back, romantic, full of amazing views like the one captured by you. This one could make a perfect postcard or wallpaper. You should print it and hang it on your wall perhaps. Well done:)

Einen verdienten Glückwunsch zum PoM, dieses Bild verdient einen Titel.
Besonders in XL ist Dein Bild eine wahre Pracht, es muß ein tolles Erlebnis gewesen sein, da am Strand zu stehen.
