Well we're like a couple of pensioners we've got our bags, we've got our tickets and we're going on a bus. Its the 18th Sept and our first bus journey of many. We're off from Cancun, to Merida, across the other side of the Yucatan peninsula 4.5 hours ( thats 2 films and a sandwich). This is a stopping point for travellers who want to see the mayan ruins of Chitzen Itza, tourist mecca, but nevertherless impressive (and we haven't seen them yet, getting another bus to see them tomorrow. The buses are really good, This was a first class, with A/C reclining seats, plenty legroom too and a loo It waslike boarding a plane,with baggage checkin, gates to board your bus, numbered seats, v well organised; the bus left on time and arrived early.
Merida has a quaint colonial feel to it, not regarded as Mexico much like Wales isn't England. Found a great Hostal if anyone is travelling here, called Casa Chalia, run by two lovely people Jan (a Belgian) and Rosalinda (a Yucatego), v good hostal. They are v helpful, and very welcoming.
Just off to snooze now so we are fit for Chitzen Itza tomorrow. Had a cracking storm when we arrived, flooded the streets to calf height.Saw some poor soul trying to cycle through the torrent - good effort.
thats all for now folks!!!!!
Glad your having fun.
