We’ve now been here for a week and it’s flown by, and is exceeding our expectations. The people are friendly, the driving is easy (albeit dull), the food is fantastic and we feel extremely safe. And the ruins are the ruins!
Next stop is Uxmal. Similar size to Chichen-Itza but nowhere near as busy and no stalls at all.
And some local wildlife – according to the guide makes a very nice soup with lime.
A bit of climbing, although you can’t climb the Pyramid of the Magician in the photo.
But you can climb these steps …
With a terrific view from the top, surrounded by jungle.
Then on to Campeche, the Yucatan’s second city after Merida.
Quite sleepy on a Saturday afternoon, but wakes up at night.
Even the local constabulary in their “Noddy” cars.
And a son et lumiere in the main square.
It’s a long day tomorrow, and not expected to be especially photogenic. Driving down south to near the Guatemalan border. And you know I was extolling the virtues of cash machines yesterday? It’s a long story, but you do need to find one first which took an age today.
