decided on something a bit different today and went to some Cenotes...basically caves with nice big natural swimming pools in them. It sounded like a bit of a mish and so at breakfast (PEANUT BUTTER, get in) i heard 2 japanese girls ask about it, thiking it would be good to team up...aka 4 heads better than 2, we went together but turns out that they were so sweet and polite and their english not so good....they tagged along with us! but that was fine. So we took a collectivo...minibus that just waits til its full and then leaves to a small town. There we caught moto-trikes (take from that what you will) and THEN the best part, a horse drawn carriage that runs on a small rail way! wicked. We went to 3 cenotes, all having to climb down some steep steps, except for the last, which was a full on ladder about 30 feet down! the water was fresh and cool and heavenly! it was a bit spooky swimming around , especially in the dark parts! 2 of th cenotes had holes to the ground, and light streamed right in and through the clear clear water, you could see the bottom. turns out i float and den sinks so he spent most of the tie clinging to the edge and i actually for once, out sported him (anyone!) and fished about. took most of the day to do this, the carriage rides between the cenotes were about 10-15 minutes sometimes! it was so ricketty and turning any corners really felt like some sort of a surreal disney ride (remnants of thunder mountain perhaps??).
so tired, slept on the way home! (in the collectivo, not the rickertty cart!)
Then found once we were back at the hostel, a big THING on at the square, just outside! a band was playing on a special stage, and food stands everywhere. Thought this was a perfect place to have some of our favourite panuchos, but alas the language barrier produced a big FAIL of BLACK panuchos. It looked like gutter water. didn't taste great either. compensated slightly with corndog. NICE.
