Finally, i`m in Mexico, heading for the Caribbean Coast via some pretty amazing places en-route. San Cristobal De Las Casas was my first stop, which was a stunning town, but was at high altitude and was cold and raining. So I headed to lower ground for the warm Jungle of Palenque, where I linked up with an Aussie and a Mexican America and we spent the day at the Mayan Ruins of Palenque and at the incredible Aqua Azul Waterfalls.
Next stop was Campeche, where I met a cool French guy who was an Archeaologist and he had just spent 2 months in the Guatemalan Jungle excavating a site of Mayan ruins. So, armed with this fountain of knowledge we headed to a buzzing town called Merida, which was our base for a visit to the Uxmal Ruins, which was a great trip when accompanied by my French friend who enlightened me on many Mayan nuggets of information.
So far it's been a great few days in Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula is hot and sticky, the people are great and tomorrow I head to Isla Holbox in search of the opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks.
Keep breathing in pal....
ReplyDeleteWhat does Ross mean?
ReplyDeleteHe means, keep holding my belly in. But after 2 months on a Guatemalan diet I don't have one to worry about any more.
ReplyDelete... or perhaps he's referencing my 'billy the fish' nickname and suggesting I can breathe underwater?
ReplyDeleteHi Billy
ReplyDeleteI was speaking to Deb's the other day and she told me you had a blog. I've been blogging for over two years now and your the only other person I know who has a blog! anyway i have become a follower, hope you don't mind, as I am trying to plan a big trip to central and south America later this year and thought your blog can give me advice and pointers on maybe where to go.
