Despite the doubts of the last evening , we are standing at 7am, and even before, since we are still between two time zones. FYI, at 7am where we were, it was 14h in France ...
After a great breakfast in the U.S. (but mostly a lot of salty pancakes, good jam, etc, etc ...) we started thinking clearly (more or less ) and a full stomach to Coba, our first visit. What a great discovery: a site nestled in the forest, several interesting buildings, our first encounters with iguanas (discussed later) and several hundred meters way to achieve the highest pyramid of Yucatan: 140m. The rise (and especially the descent) will cost a calf to many of us but it was worth it!
After this wonderful visit when we were at the beginning, the only group on the site, we headed in a canteen-style colonial located one kilometer from the site. Starter, main course and dessert: ingredients are known (chicken, vegetables ...) but the preparations are different, quite surprising and sometimes found! No doubt, we are no longer in France.
time to discover the joys of meditation in Mexico (the siesta, in fact, greatly facilitated by a long drive in a straight line bus and a very rich meal), we arrive at Tulum, which was in fact the port city's famous Chichen Itza . A provision in the open, without much difference in level, a beautifully updated site and close to a blue sea make this new stop a great success.
After the visit, after the break above photo, remove clothes and jumps into it water (in swimming, do not get excited!) for a swim, less than a day after our arrival! Yahooooooooooo! Viva Mexico!
After another bus ride back to our first base, Valladolid for a first descent in a typical Mexican shop (hmm): the exchange shop! And yes, as many participants stay, we came with a $ when it is the Mexican peso, which is especially wanted by the Mexican traders in these remote provinces a few highways to tourists!
That case ended, back to the hotel room for a welcome hot shower and a shared first cocktail around the pool with a few couples in our group that definitely looks very nice!
A good meal washed down with Corona (local beer) and hop in bed rest after the day brisk. We'll have to get used to tomorrow, the alarm will sound at 6:45!
