[Edit description for Merida]

Merida is a dump. It is a busy, noisy and dirty city where you don't really want to spend too much time.

However, it is also the gateway to Yucatan, with the Mayan ruins of Uxmal and Chichen Itza close by and beaches a plenty in the neighbourhood. It is also a good starting point to travel westbound into Mexico, towards Palenque, San Cristobal de las Casas and onwards.

Although Merida is no Cancun in comparison to clubs or the night scene, there is a great feel to the city in terms of the people. People there are much more relaxed and friendly. There are many cheap places to stay and it is a good base to start your journey through Mexico.

Isla Mujeres, Mexico -› Merida, Mexico -› ...

We are now leaving Merida and awaiting our next bus to Campeche. I think it will be about a 2-3 hour ride. Merida is a great city and while I am sad to leave the familiarity of it I am excited to see what else Mexico has to offer. We changed hostels yesterday and spent our last day in the upstairs part of a beautiful old building with balconies overlooking the busy town center. There we drank rum and played cards with an odd American writer who had escaped Florida for ...

The TEMPERATURE!!

Cancun, Mexico -› Merida, Mexico -› ...

After having a million showers to cool us down and a fan always at our sides, we arrived in Merida to a very nice hostel, which is in the centre of all the action. The hostel is in a building older than time (older than Aunty Pia), but the view off the balcony is amazing. After dumping stuff we headed out into the town to find the Fiesta of Mexican independance was starting that evening (not one book told us that!!). This meant lots of very loud music and little sleep, but with beers and...
