Fi managed to join me yesterday after travelling for god knows how long. She had to sleep on the floor of Mexico City airport :( but she finally got here, i waited for her at the drop off point at the time she was meant to get in but she didnt show for an hour so i popped back to the room at the hostel and there she was!! Last night we had a relatively chilled one, went to the walmart and got some meat for a bbq and had a few beers, plus a cocktail at the bar next door but got an early night in prep for todays tour.
Got up at 6:30am this morning to get the shuttle at 7:30. Took 3 hours to get there but it was worth it. Such a hot day, met some cool travellers on the tour. Had a nice mayan man who drove us there and back and gave us a tour of a colonial Spanish town called Valldolit which was really pretty. The mayan people are really small and have flat heads but are all really nice. Yesterday a mayan man in the bar next to the hostel delivered our daquiris (two huge glasses) stacked on his head, legend! The Wonder was epic. When we arrived I came over all emotional with how fantastic it was. Learnt alot of interesting facts about sacrifices etc. and wandered round the ruins.
Tonight we go to Coco Bongos and visit Tulum tomorrow.
Definitely starting to get into the swing of the backpacking already, feels like ive been here for ages! Travelling is so much fun, Ive met some really nice people already and its only day 3. Bought a hammock today in preparation for the amazon boat ride. Life on the road is hectic but so laid back at the same time.
Will update again soon. Last full day in Mexico tomorrow before hitting the Cayes of Belize!
Take it easy.
