Arrived early yesterday (31 May) in Campeche which is as LP desribes a Colonial Fairyland. It's stunning - inside the walled town. The Monkey Hostel is in a great location over looking the central plaza and the beautiful cathedral. It's just so HOT! Yesterday I met two lovely girls Emilia (Finnish) and Simona (Italian) who are both also travelling alone and speak Spanish so so easy to be around. Had a nice meal at La Parroquia with them last night and then had a bit of a party with some Mexican boys - I mean boys - I could almost be their mother on the roof terrace of the hostel.
We rented bicis this morning and cycled up the malecon and back. Quite pretty but really what is special are all the painted houses inside the walls. Then we head to the beach - La Playa Bonita - it's not really a playa and it's certainly not bonita. No photos of the beach. There were no lesbians buying me drinks either. On the way there on the bus we witnessed what looked like a military storm on a house, but none of the Mexicans on the bus seemed to bat an eyelid. On the way home we thought we'd missed the bus as we were about 200m away and saw in on the main road. They pass every 10 mins so we weren't worried but the bus saw us - Tourists just stand out so much - and waited for us. Imagine that in London! The people here are very friendly.
Off to Merida, maybe Celestun tomorrow morning.
