... a rail track and pulled by a horse. At first, I thought we were going to fall off this thing! It was rickety and the horse didn't always want to listen.
We saw stopped at three different cenotes on the hour long horse ride. The pictures we took can not even begin to show you how amazing and breathtaking these caves were.

To get down into the caves, we had to ...

... per Città del Messico, non sapendo dove andare ci siamo diretti verso la costa sul Golfo. Progreso è una cittadina assolutamente insignificante, non ha particolari attrattive turistiche, il mare sul golfo è scuro, niente a che vedere con la costa caraibica; un paese messicano di messicani. Abbiamo trovato un posto per dormire veramente tristanzuolo, dopo una passeggiata nella via principale abbiamo deciso che non c'era molto altro da fare e ci siamo ritirati!

... Peón Contreras teatro, el Monumento a la Patria, y la Mérida Catedral. También, comí en el Restaurante de Luigi porque una amiga decía este la comida de lo fue bien. Ella fue correcta; la comida fue muy deliciosa. Próximo, voy a volver al hotel para dormir.

... leading you into the sunken cave. When I got down to the bottom I took some time to look around and it was quite spectacular. There were rays of light coming through certain holes in the roof reflecting off the water and creating a marbled affect on the walls around. The water was deep in placed and totally transparent and above there were rock icicles coming down from the ceiling and fast intertwined roots trying to reach ...

... skills aren't that good and B) Any chance of bargaining goes out the window once you show that you want something. I ended up spending too much money for the hammock and three hats (one was marald's and he gave me cash for it) and don't really feel like talking about how much it was especially when I later watched the same hammock get sold to my friend for nearly half the price...*grumble grumble*. When we were leaving, Marald and I ran into a girl named Sarah ...

... For the first time, we took advantage of our volunteer cards to gain free access to the ruins, which would otherwise have cost us 100 pesos each (10 USD...double the price of other ruins in the country). The ruins were magnific and though there were lots of people when we arrived there, the site was big enough to accomodate all of us. Most of the ruins were out of bounds from visitors, so we could only walk around the ruins. The afamed cenotes ...

... how far you'd hit it then counting how far you'd hit it with the stick you'd hit it with. Would you believe it me and Welly were the champs by miles! Spent the rest of the evening sitting around "chatting", mainly to Kairina, which involved passing the dictionary back and forth between us - muy difficil! , got easier as the Sol flowed and we just went for it. Turned out that the ranch was actually a holiday home for the family ...

... had a three hour conversation and had food together at a local taco shop. 25 hours after originally setting off I arrive at Nomadas Hostel. After another 2 hour wait for a bath I could eventually have a shower and chill out. The laundry service down the road could not clean my clothes until Monday, due to the weekend. So I decided to hand wash everything, which suprisingly worked quite well, even managed to clean my stinking jeans ready to wear ...
