All,
From Chiapas onto the Yucatán peninsula. Impressive ruins at Edzna and on to the Ruta Puuc which we visited from Santa Elena a small village between Campeche and Merida. I was travelling with two German guys at that time, well organised and into early starts to avoid climbing pyramids during the midday hours. Just so much easier to travel with someone…in Santa Helena we stayed in a jungle lodging, too scared to do it by choice on my own, lots of wildlife and a scorpion in our room…
We stopped in the village to take a picture of a typical Mayan house and the guy invited us in and showed us his garden with all the flowers, herbs and trees explaining what they use them for and showing us how he makes his shoe strings from maguey. Very interesting, friendly and with this musical accent when speaking Spanish.
Uxmal a very impressive site and not as full of tourist busses as Chichen Itza, the only cultural destination for package tourists on a beach and party holiday in Cancun…
Cenote: underground water reservoirs now often used for swimming all over the Peninsula, very deep with amazing blues and greens my favourite ones near Merida to be reached only on a truck (carriage on rail pulled by a horse) from Cazama.
Finally the Caribbeans: Isla Mujeres with amazing Pocna hostel for a couple of days of rest and catching up on some sleep under a palm tree or on a hammock. Great crowd even if overrun by Israelis(...) the coolest place to relax, all you need to manage are the couple of steps to the beach during the day and the ones to the bar at night. Great place to hang out, great atmosphere, lovely beds and room, communal areas, lots of friendly people and staff. At night lots of cool music and dancing under the full moon with your feet in the sand...only downside I suffered my second flip flop theft of this holiday 
, obviously a travellers´ favourite...
Well I left this morning for Tulum and am already missing it too much, wanna go back. Just so many places that are hard to leave, stay in our heart, the intensity of brief encounters, people you feel so close to, you share so much with in such short periods of time.
Well for everyone who wonders about how stressful it is to travel…it is great fun but it also costs a lot of energy, every day is completely new, the lack of routine is complete, you find yourself waking up one day not knowing where and how you will sleep the next night. My stops have become a lot longer and days on the beach are really welcome although the will and curiosity to see more and to keep on going is always there.
Guys, if anyone was starting to wonder, I am still positive about making it back to Europe 
Lots of love
Jasmina
