What a great day it's been! We arrived on the site of Chichen Itza at 8 am for the opening, it was the best thing we could have done as we were the only people walking on the ball court at this time. It's a beautiful site, very modern compared to the other sites I've been to but it's impressive. After the archaeological site, we went for a dip in a cenote, a open cave where u can swim, the water is very clear & it's impressive to swim in there looking up &...

Today it's still raining, pissing down, hammering down, hoofing down... Therefore, we've decided to leave the island & to go in lands in Valladolid to visit the Mayan pyramid of Chichen Itza. After a 2-hour bus ride, we've arrived at our destination. A nice long walk to the hotel which is only 5 minutes from the bus station but we got a bit lost. After we had settled down, we just went for a walk around the town centre, planned our day out to Chichen Itza tom...

I tought it would be dry, but the rain is following us, on & off, we spent a couple of hours on the beach but no sun so we were a bit cold. Back to the room, got changed & we went to explore the streets of the city & for dinner. Après une agréable matinée passée autour de la piscine de l'hôtel, direction Isla Mujeres, mais malheureusement la pluie à...

Today, lazy day at the hotel, we stayed around the pool & the beach, vegetating & being soaked by a few unexpected showers, nothing major but just enough to wet us all over while we were sunbathing... In the evening we decided to have dinner downtown, so off we went on the local bus & the restaurant was outstanding, the perfect Mexican fiesta atmosphere with mariachis & stunning food. A great first night for Russ & Cait even though they were ...
