Day 10, and we have comfortably settled into a little Mayan town called Valladolid, Yucatan´s oldest colonial city. Two days in Cancun, and we couldn´t get outta there fast enough. Moved onto Puerto Morelos, a sleepy little fishing village, which woke up to a bunch of ex-pats settling in. A few days later, onto Tulum where we spent two days visiting ruins (photo) and trying to enjoy the beach, but it was overrun by backpackers... just like us.
We are finding it difficult to get good coffee or rice and beans... ironic, huh? The local cantinas have much more rum than tequila - though we are very near the caribbean, so that may explain it. There also seems to be a lack of veggies in the diet, but plenty of deep-fried everything. The locals are very friendly and although our spanish isn´t there yet, the folks are very patient and willing to help, and we´re communicating pretty well without resorting to íngles...
... and, most importantly, we´re finally beginning to relax. Our photos so far... http://picasaweb.google.com/erikandtalor/AdventureBegins
