Yucatan - caught under a tropical storm in ruins

Our trip to Guatemala, left us very tired, and we were in the mood of relax for some days in Merida. The first night we stayed at Hostal Santa Lucia. Don't go there!!! The private room had to fans that connected the restrooms with our room. Every time somebody goes to the restroom the stinky smell stays in the room.

The next day we moved to a much nicer hostel: Zocalo and we had a balcony with views to the main square. We were lucky because it was sunday and there  were traditional music and dances.

The next day we went to swim in the Cenotes. The trip was a full value experience! We took the public collectivo, then we took a mototaxi which is a motorbike with a cartseat attached. 

When we arrived at the Hacienda we took a cart running on train trucks pulled by a horse. The first 5 minutes were fun but after that we got tired because the road was very shaky and there were a thousand bugs trying to eat us!

The swim in the cenotes was amazing! It is better an image than a thousand words...

From Merida we took a bus to Piste, the town next to Chichen Itza, and we booked a room at Chichen Itza Mayaland hotel. It was the first time we had time to swim in a swimming pool.

After refreshing in the pool we went to visit the mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. They are the most restored ruins but we didn't like it so much because of the heat and it is full of tourists from Cancun.

With the day ticket we could access the night show at the ruins. The multimedia show was cool and it was full of sparkling flying bugs that looked as part of the show.

Right before finishing we were caught in a tropical storm!!! We run in the dark in the middle of the ruins with lightnings and thunders falling next to us. Laura was a little bit scared...

We were so wet that we decided to have a soup at the resort next to the ruins. The funny note of the night was a french guy who was trying to go to the bathroom but hit a glass window next to us. The entire restaurant is still laughing at it.

Next stop: Tulum and Cancun!
