Woke up a bit early so we could Skype home while having breakfast! Then informed ourselves about the whereabouts of the famous Cenotes (underground water caves formed by the erosion of limestone)... We walked in the opposite direction to yesterday as there were 2 small Cenotes close to our hotel... We had to walk along a rickety wooden pathway literally through a type of jungle marshland - when we looked around us there was just jungle as far as the eye could se...

Woke up this morning, geared up for our day at the ruins and had a delicious breakfast with a world class view! Caught up a bit on worldly matters while connected to wifi- apparently the only big thing happening is Bieber Fever in Jo'burg! For whatever reason, Sarah and I decided we would walk to the Mayan Ruins... The temperature must have been at least 35 degrees Celsius and we knew it would take at least 2 hours courtesy of google maps and yet our takkies wer...

Up bright and early this morning! It's time for Tulum :) We packed our last few things, headed for a quick breakfast and walked to the port in time for the 9am ferry! After a windy ride back to Cancun, we negotiated a cheap ish taxi to the ADO bus terminal where we would catch the bus to Tulum... (Even though the taxi driver would try convince us to have him take us "direct to our hotel" for "only $80 USD"... The bus ride was incredibly pleasant, with air con an...

Slept like a rock! First time in ages I have been sleeping absolutely solidly... Apparently it takes months and months to reach this point ;) Chatted to Giugs and ma briefly and then it was time to gear up for breakfast and a day of exploring! We hired a golf cart- the common means of transport here- and headed south where all the "attractions" are... It was crazy to think we were driving a golf cart on an "open road" on the island of Isla Mujeres! Life is good!...

Today we decided to head to Isla Mujeres which is a small island off the coast of Cancun! We woke up in time for breakfast at the hostel - not a whole lot of sleep was had but it's all good! And after packing up our possessions we caught a taxi to Puerto Juarez where we caught the ferry to the island... Guaranteed people are having a good laugh at my big suitcase and gigantic hand luggage!! Haha I am so not suited to travel in Central America but there's not much...
