I left Isla Mujeres on Tuesday for Merida took a bus from Cancun which took 4 hours. I'm staying at the Nomadas hostel for 69 pesos a night, try and get a bed in the back dorm no street noise and good ventilation. First 2 days I spent wandering around the city working on my spanish and seeing the sites.View image
Today 4 of us went snorkling in some CenotesView image
west of Merida, perfect day for it very hot out but nice and cool down in the sink holes. Saw shrimp,fish, and some old Mayan pottery under the water. Merida is a very nice city a little big for my tastes but cheap prices and good food(try Trapeche on calle 62). Bought my self a hammock yesterday for 170 pesos. If you ever come here don't buy one from the street there are a few shops that specialize in hammocks and have very good prices. I'm heading to Piste tomorrow which is right next to Chichen Itza so I can get up early and see the ruins before to many people show up, its much cheaper on Sunday to visit the ruins about 50 pesos less. From there I will be heading down to tulum, not sure how long I'm going to stay have heard mixed reviews about it. Then it will be down to Belize. Until then, Chow...
