Sábado 6 Agosto

Hola que tal ?

Woke up at 5am, get up at 5.30am and in the bus at 6am, it is really really early to take a bus... even for a temple, I was a bit moody in the bus and still sleepy ! After 1 hour and a half, we arrive in Uxmal, unfortunately, the site open at 8am... (but we knew it). So we took our breakfast in front of the main entrance.

At 8.10am (mexicanos are not really ponctual) they open the ticket booth, we bought our tickets, and were the 1st ones to cross the ground of this magical place !! I am glad we woke up so early because at the beginning we were nearly on our own, and that was really nice, especially because I love to take pictures with no one on them !!! To know more about UXMAL it's HERE (coming soon).

The place is big and really nice, lot's of shade and bulding to see, we were even able to climb most of them. I run out of space on my SD card (grrrrrrrrrrr), so we were sharing Damien's SD card, because I like the colours on my camera.

Faune and flora : because it was really early in the morning, we woke up a few birds, which are living inside the structure and chambers of the ruins, especially swallow birds. We also saw bees and their hive. And of course plenty of iguanas ! 

And we met an hungry one, who ran after me when I opened the food bad to eat something, I hide inside a "room" but was stuck because the iguana did not wanted to move and let me leave my hiding place. It was quite funny and scary at the same time, Damien had a good laugh.

We finished the visit around 11.30am, we new there was a bus at 12 on the main road, so we went there and waited for it. We waited 1 hour and 30 minutes, so we were playing, doing sudoku by timing ourself, and listening to some music. Back to Merida where we ate, slept and I also bought a USB key, to put my pictures on it and empty my SD cards. Then we went back home, because both of us were feeling sick.

We went out again in the evening, went on an internet cafe, to put my pictures on the USB key, and check emails and then walk in the street by night, it's quite nice, especially during the week-end because they close the streets. We saw a wedding at 10pm in a small church, quite unusual, saw the university, other churches ...

Time to go to bed !

PS: I have been in Mexico for 6 weeks ! (6/9)

Buenas noches amigos
