Mel's Overseas Trip
Hi All,
Well the tour so far has been great. We started in Cancun and then travelled to Playa Del Carmen Day 1. Here we went to the Tulum Ruins on the seaside, this was a picturesque site.
Next day Lucy and I went on a snorkel and fishing tour on the reef. Snorkelling was great, we saw heaps of fish and coral, but unfortunetly did not catch any fish????? May be they were all having a siesta......
We then travelled by bus to Chichen Itza, a very famous ancient Mayan Ruin site. We had a local guide show us around and give us the history. The Mayan people were very advanced for there time as far as architecture and science were concerned.
We are now in Merida, a lovely little town with cobbled streeets and horse and cart rides.
Mexican food is not too bad, some restaurants are a real hit and miss though........
Tomorrow we go to the Cenotes to swim, which are underground limestone caverns and then we will tour the markets.
Learning a little spanish here and there, its amazing how quickly you pick up on words and phrases when you have too, however most of the time I am very good at charades............ especially when I was shopping for a swim suit. Most of the togs over here are like G strings, I was trying to ask the shop keeper for big bum togs and I was doing my best charade until after a while and a giggle the shop keeper proceeded to tell me she spoke fluent english???????
Still didnt have any togs for big bum girls.
Good Luck for the Eisteddfod, I am thinking of you all.
Lots of Love
