Meeting the locals!
Sunset in Khabarovsk


Russian military


Vladivostok port with ice floating.

The WW2 submarine
(not the Kursk one...)
Keeping the troops motivated
(inside the submarine)

Interesting sleeping quarters
inside the submarine
And that's how you
launch them!

Vladivostok cold!!!

Start of Trans-Siberian Rail
Frozen sea with fishermen in the distance

Fire safety in Russia!
You throw wheel outside
and lower yourself out
until fire ends...
Or rope burns through! 












It's spring! Ice melts in parts!
Testing that ice!

Teotihuacan pyramids

Moon pyramid on the left, in the distance the Sun pyramid.

Mexico pyramids, taken from the Sun, view of the Moon.


Sun pyramid - start climbing!

Much easier down!



Mexican style

Pumice stone buildings in
Mexico City. They need to be light
 since city is built on a lake!
Spot the odd one out? Religion and alcohol meet!


Diego Rivera murals of
Mexicao city history.

He was the husband of Frida Kahlo,
who had an affair with Trotsky. 


Mexico devils

Pink and grey skull with devils
came home with me!
You wear the jaguar,
you become the jaguar!





Be saved!!!

Felix's new friend!


Scary Mexican jaguar masks
with real teeth and porcupine needles in eyebrows!


Mexico colours


Paper flowers everywhere!

Tree of life.

Skulls everywhere too
Tiny beads jagua
Interesting use of those
