A couple of things to start with.
1. Hope yesterday wasn’t too confusing. Due to technical issues I wrote it in 3 parts and parts 2 and 3 were the wrong way round.
2. For reasons we don’t know, there is an hour’s time difference between Cancun and Valladolid. No idea where it will change back. So we are now 6 hours behind the UK.
3. For a few seconds, Eileen thought she had taken a selfie. However, false alarm. That remains an unfulfilled experience so far!
And so to breakfast in our lovely little hotel, only 3 minutes from the main square.
Then the first of many. We said the main theme of the holiday was to hunt out Mayan ruins in the jungle. This is Ek’Balam, about half an hour away.
Symbolises the mouth of the earth – see the teeth at the bottom and the nose near the top.
The nice thing about Ek’Balam is that it is quite small and you can still climb the ruins – not a lot of elf’n’safety going on here …
…but magnificent views from the top.
Then on to Cenotes (pronounced sen-o-tays). Brief description below – try Wikipaedia if you want to know more.
Here’s one only about a mile away that you can swim in, abseil down to or zip-wire over. Or contemplate all of those things over a cold beer 😎.
