This morning we left Cancun, and made a 1hr bus journey to Playa del Carmen. Again, we had a very hot and humid day (sorry to all my Melbourne friends who are freezing right now!!). It wasn't until I walked to the bus station that I realised that I had seriously made the wrong decision to put my blue top on today, as it just showed the world how hot and sweaty I really was!! Once we arrived we locked up our bags, and caught a bus straight to the Mayan Ruins of...

Now everybody, gather round and take a seat, preferably on a toilet as you may actually wet yourself when I tell you what I did today!! Be prepared to be bedazzled!!! Ok, so it could also just be me that is so excited by this! Today I checked off something that has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember....I swam with the whale sharks!! I swear I nearly wet myself everytime I jumped in the water and watched these majestic beautiful creatures gli...

This morning we caught a taxi to the bus terminal!! The problem was we weren't sure which bus terminal to turn up to!! There were in fact two different bus terminals written on the bus ticket!!

So we took a second class public bus from Merida to Chichen Itza - the only difference between the first cla...

And then out of no where we came across paradise! There were about 1000 flamingos all just doing what flamingos do... Standing around not doin...

Last night, Richelle and I ended up going out to try and find something to eat! What we found instead was the disco bus! Now this is the best $2 I have ever spent! Pretty much we are all herded onto the top of this safari bus, that has been decorated with parrots and disco lights!! There is a sub-woofer in the front of the bus that blares out music which is a combination of reggae and mariachi!! The bus just drives up and down the one Main street in Palenque!!...
