Mexico Day 27 - Merida

We started the morning with some exploring and it was good to be back in the buzz of a big city. We checked out several squares/parks that were all nice but followed a similar style. We ended up on Paseo De Montejo which was a cool street with loads of buildings and monuments to Meridas founder. It had lots of impressive looking private mansions, art galleries and government buildings yet we found ourselves settling down in an Irish bar on the street called Hennessey's....

After some refreshments and some street food at a market on the corner we headed back to the hotel for the afternoon. That evening we ate at a lovely restaurant Chaya Maya and the Pollo Pibil was beautiful!

After, we caught a light show being projected onto the church in the main square which was cool and then the tail end of a live bands set in El Cardenal Cartina which was a great traditional Mexican bar! We got talking (and dancing) with some locals and an Aussie who warned us about the 11pm curfew yet suggested another bar which meant we would break said curfew anyway!! Naturally we suggested drinks at our hotel as it had a big open air lobby and pool area so after a stop at the shop off we went! They were great fun and we had a brilliant night, it finished with us making plans to join them tomorrow on a trip to Uxmal Ruins which we were reliably informed were better than Chichen Itza!Read more
