Leaving Mérida we headed for the ancient site of Chichen Itza, one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’ (although I am not sure why). Answers on the back of a post card!! Lol. This is a pic with the full group I was travelling with (I haven’t actually sorted pics from here yet so don’t have much to share)
One of the highlights of the visit was single handedly stopping a pyramid from floating off into space! Thank you 😎
It is fair to say that Playa del Carmen is not really my sort of place. It was good to visit but WAY too touristy for my taste. As a group we had lots of problems with ATMs on 5th Avenue (well, one problem multiple times… ie they usually don’t work). We eventually found an HSBC near to Palacio Municipal which actually seemed to be reliable!
As we were walking around town we were lucky to see the end of a Danza de lots Voladores, which is basically four blokes hanging off a big pole by their feet, spinning around and gradually getting lower. Yeah, it’s weird!!
If you happen to visit Playa del Carmen and you have too much luggage space, then please buy me one of these, they are awesome.
