    ¡Hasta luego! Isla Mujeres 🛥 Valladolid

    May 10, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Bye bye, I’ll come back I promise :) I really did like that island! Ship, Colectivo, ADO bus - Now we’re finally in Mérida. Long day. The city center looks really cute. We’re staying on a nice colonial street with little artsy (but European prizes) shops all around us.
    I like the colorful walls all around :)
    Application sent (I hope in time) and a beer to say cheers to that :)

  • Sightseeing walk

    May 11, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Uiiii... I really love Valladolid. It’s such a cute small town. Many beautiful buildings, old cars everywhere, pretty colours, friendly people!! This area is really great :)
    I took a few snaps so you can feel the atmosphere.Read more

    Chichén Itza & Cenote X‘Kekén

    May 12, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    This was a really, really, really expensive day, 25€ entry fee, 10€ for the guide and then the cenotes. But very interesting and worth it! I think Chichén Itza is overrated as a tourist attraction - but more interesting in the context of learning about Mayans being smart as nobody else and knowing a lot about the universe which we don’t even understand today. Fun fact: they played a game in between football and Basketball with a very heavy medicine ball and sometimes with human heads whose bodies were sacrificed...
    Anyways we were hitchhiking with this Texan couple and they let us out in some small village that doesn’t even have a name on the map and we ate very good food and saw to open cenotes from above.
    Then we took a taxi to Cenotes X-Kéken and it was the best spontaneous idea that could have happened because they were both A M A Z I N G. One has been taken as inspiration for the one in Coco, the Disney movie. So cool! We met Rámon, Paolo and Yael and took them out to dinner and beer in Valladolid.

  • Shoppingtour & fancy Dinner

    May 13, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Yeah... so you could say I went on a shopping spree... my backpack is quite stuffed now... but I love the new things I bought! I definitely should have taken only 3-4 things with me since I’m wearing the same 2 outfits every day anyways...
    Valladolid is really beautiful. I can only recommend experiencing the silence and beauty in that town for longer than a day. We’re gonna extend our stay for a day as well, after that we don’t know yet, let’s see :)
    We tried a very nice vegan restaurant, they had such good home made food! Then the light show at San Bernardino’s - just great!

  • ¡Adiós! Valladolid 🚎 Merida

    May 14, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    Spontaneous booking in the morning, be don’t go to Tulum but to Mérida. :) our hosts are very nice, we ate Tacos together, enjoyed the pool and drank beer, I feel like back in India meeting my host family for the first time. Nice people!Read more

  • Mérida Sightseeing & una peda

    May 15, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    After a nice evening: ¡Vamos! Let’s go to the city center, downtown.
    Merida seems to be the safest city on the American continent right after Québéc and is 21st place in the whole world. Seems like a good location to experience México.
    It’s alright, has pretty buildings and the oldest church (around 430 years old) in North America but I’m honestly not too impressed with it. Maybe my spontaneity wasn’t too good this time. 6 hours of walking, chocolate pasta that tasted really boring and an Apérol Spritz later the world seems better :)
    We went out to a “club/bar) right across the street, didn’t get in but met some nice people and spent the evening with them in another bar close by.
    It seems to be normal to invite people you just met to an after party at your house since 3 different groups did that in one evening only. We went with them and stayed till 3 am, nice new friends, beautiful Husky and Carl took a dip in the Pool :)

  • I look like a chicken trying to fly...

    Homún Cenote Tour

    May 16, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    We met with Paolo from Italy again and took a Colectivo to Hómun. There we rented a private driver for the day to visit some cenotes. The first one was pretty fun, I jumped down the platform after contemplating for a way too long time. I really just need to do and not overthink things :) the second one was kinda pretty with the hole and round form but the third one was just great. In the shape of an eye, crystal clear water, very deep, carved in stones laying at the bottom. Really, really beautiful.
    But honestly: the last one topped everything. We had to rob into it through a very small water filled tunnel and then got into a Mayan temple Cenote. There were stalactites everywhere and no sunlight coming through because it was so deep and hidden. To get to the tunnel we had to go down a quite steep stairway and then inside we just sat there, relaxed and then the lights were turned off for 5 minutes and it was very spiritual and calm to exist in nothingness.

  • Ecological mangrove reservate "El corchito"
    An open cenote on the small islandMe: being what I am

    Progreso & el Corchito

    May 17, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Not really a great day. I don’t think Progreso is worth visiting. When you are in the situation to compare Maya Riviera to this it’s almost like choosing between going on vacation or living in a dumpster. 😉
    My bus ride in the morning was more than loco, that bus driver... she was crazy! Honking every single second, trying to push cars out of the way, going full speed around a corner.
    I actually wanted to go to Uxmal but didn’t catch the ADO so instead I walked around the city, bought a new shirt and just strolled the streets being stared at for probably being the only foreigner ever seen on the Meridians peoples marketplace - it was definitely not a touristy area. 2 Tacos for 16 Pesos - that is a new achievement!!
    What I realized is that people here are way friendlier than somewhere else. Not only by talking to you, showing the way but also they all stand in those street long queues waiting for their turn to get a seat in a bus without trying to push or anything.
    Eventually I found a colectivo to the beach, sat there for a bit, was weirded out by a homeless guy and took a taxi to “el corchito” an island where you can see open cenotes and many animals. I wasn’t too impressed, also they charged me the foreigner entrance fee... on my way back to Mérida I fell asleep and then went on THE SEARCH for the bus stop. Sugary food so that I only almost cried. Everybody was telling me to take different directions and in the end I just walked around for 1h and 20 minutes, finally found it only to wait 30 more for the slowest bus ever to arrive. Nice dive in the pool. Watermelon for dinner. Nice English Spanish evening talk with our hosts. ¡Hasta mañana! :)

  • Uxmal & last evening in Mérida

    May 18, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    THIS IS THE COOLEST PYRAMID EVER! I really enjoyed the archeological zone in Uxmal, I went there by ADO from Merida city center at 9 am, it took about 2 hours and the entrance fee was around 20€ but so worth it!!! Really big complex, great sight, the pictures my new friends from Poland took are not really the greatest but imagine seeing and walking around this :) back home we Tool a colectivo to Mina and tuen to Mérida, actually very simple. In there I met Erik from Barcelona and we got lunch inside the city which was super, super tasty! Panucho and Salbute (with egg and burnt chilis) - recommendation for everyone.
    I enjoyed the pool and got ready for the night! We met Paolo (Italy) and his friend Lau (Puebla), as well as Erik (Spain/Britain) again and went out. Very loud nightclub with only a bit :( dancing and a fun game while waiting for the Uber to arrive while the police all around us took some people to prison (probably)

  • Mérida 🛫 Puerto Escondido

    May 19, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Enjoyed some time in the Pool, who would sign up for fun Aquafit classes under my lead? Maybe I’ll do that some time.
    Anyhow: who needs some help with their English or something else. I’m desperate... I’d really like to work a bit every day :)
    4 hours early at the airport, I’m really getting anxious to miss my bus, plane or anything while traveling... we weren’t even allowed to get rid of our backpacks yet, after Check-In I lost my elephant pillow and honestly I’m still super, super upset. I almost had tears rushing down my face :(
    2 hours transit in México City: mas o menos good food, Doughnut as snack afterwards :)
    The plane to Puerto Escondido takes approx. 40min - I feel like such a bad human being taking 2 planes in one day, my ecological footprint this year will be really shitty... spoke in broken Spanish and figured out that my seat neighbor has a friend who gives Surfing lessons, let’s see if it was fate and he’s gonna be cheap :)
    Homemade and self caught Ceviche from Jo, and then going out with Uli... till 5:30am... had sooooo much fun in Cocos and the techno party afterwards.
