... time to check it out nor several others down the coast towards Ciudad del Carmen.

Now besides the “centro historico” and the malecon is there anything else to be seen in Campeche?

That will be the topic of the next blog.

... Parroquia (an old church) for $25 a night with a breakfast for 2 included. We arrived around 4 pm on a Friday and the city was definitely in party mode. A parade marched by us, loud music played, lights flashed, food was being cooked, people filled the square. Our senses were totally assaulted but ...we had fun. We sat and listened to a great jazz band that played in the square while we watched men getting their shoes shined and saw children running around ...

... my next ride to Merida. I had around a twenty minute wait here as the traffic was busy and it was only worth sticking my thumb out when a single car was approaching. Eventually Mark, a gay guy in his 30´s stopped and dropped me outside the guest house where I was staying in the centre of Merida. Mark was a university lecturer, studied in Barcelona and spoke fluent English, quality guy.

... Elena and was fortunate to get a lift with a local truck driver. After spending an hour walking round the village, chatting with the locals I decided to hitch a ...

... Karen and Barry and Bruce and Mitch were the first people we met and Bryce, 14 years, was traveling with his grandparents so the kids had some fun. After a chat we received our first invitation, to their social evening where everyone gets together, for a BBQ and some upside down pineapple cake on this occasion. Barry introduced us to the group and told them all about our year on the road and where we were going and before the night was ...

... trimballes tes 20 kg de sac à dos car après les grottes tu continues dans le sud. rrive à la limite du trou du cul du monde, tu galères (mais les gens t'aident gentiment) pour trouver un collectivo (une camionnette collective) qui va Calcehtok. Mais c'est pas tout, car il faut que tu négocies avec le chauffeur pour qu'il t'emmène aux grottes qui sont à 3 km sur une petite route. Arrivé sur place, tu comprends bien (et lui aussi malheureusement) que tu ...

... some area, their buzzing sound can be well heard and joined with the energy of the site, this vibration is very intense and stirs up intense feelings. As the humans cannot survive without the bees (important part of the food chain), it somehow felt reassuring. Very spiritual encounters and friendships in Uxmal during my 5 days spiritual/meditation workshop with Drunvalo Melchizedek. More to come on this later on.

... like a previous-generation Sentra and is commonly used as a taxi. Four manual gears, no radio, no power steering...but functional. First stop was at an old hacienda, Hacienda Ochil, that was restored starting nine years ago, and is now operating as a restaurant and set of workshops for local crafts, plus a small shop and some museums. We had a bit of lunch at the restaurant, after which Sheila discovered this sort of concrete water basin that you can swim in, and she ...

We stayed in Campeche for three nights, and about 2.5 days. That's about as long as we planned to stay, though our departure was not quite as intended, as we proceeded west to flee hurricane Dean, rather than east to Mérida. As Sheila noted in a previous blog entry, Campeche was hot. I don't know exactly how hot, but it had to be high-90s (mid-30s C) and humid. It made us want to sit idly in our air conditioning rather than explore the town. I guess ...

... I can't remember the name at the moment and as I have sent my CD home I can't even look it up. They were actually very entertaining and although they spoke only in Spanish and I hardly understood a word it was a very good evening. Fabio was also heading to Palenque the next day so we travelled down on the same bus and decided to stay at the same hostel/camp site. This consisted of timber huts in the rainforest shared with ...
