Serena and Josh's Travels

Highlights:
- Chichen Itza, despite it being touristy!
- Salsa lessons and tequila at the hostel
- Light show on the convent building
- Chocolate museum - they had a cabinet for hot chocolate jugs like my beloved Hotel Chocolat velvetiser!
- Hiring bikes to go to the cenotes - first was Oxman with a rope swing which we had to ourselves for a while, second was Saamal with a platform to jump off

Lowlights:
- Early mornings to beat the crowds at Chichen Itza and the cenotes!

Food and drink:
- Marquesitas - like a rolled waffle ice cream cone filled with things like Nutella, caramel, fruit and cheese (cheese and chocolate is the classic option and was surprisingly tasty!)
- Lunch at Yakunaj Cocina Mexicana which was the fanciest meal so far! I had fish and Josh had a burrito
- Lunch at Luna Pach where we had egg quesadillas and horchata - yum!Weiterlesen

Highlights:
- Rented bikes from the hostel and cycled to the beach (Playa Paraiso) and chilled and swam in the sea
- Went to Tulum ruins for the last hour and a half it was open. Beautiful views of the sea with the ruins, and saw lizards, iguanas and a couple of coatis!
- Going to Coba and cycling through the ruins there - cool to go through the jungle and we saw a small snake and some monkeys!
- Cycling to another cenote at Coba - this was a dark cave with a 5m and 10m diving board. Josh did the 10m, Serena only managed the 5m one but still scary!

Lowlights:
- Having to get a taxi back from Coba as the bus didn't turn up - but we clubbed together with others waiting so it wasn't too bad!

Food and drinks:
- Burgers from Bella Ciao (our first not very traditional meal in Mexico!) - tasted amazing and the mojito and homemade lemonade were great too
- Burritos at Burrito Amor - Serena had pork and pineapple in a coconut tortilla and Josh had chicken. We went back for breakfast burritos the next day because they were so good!Weiterlesen
