Arrived in Merida

I made it to Merida yesterday evening. Merida is a very lovely typical mexican(yucatan) city, with a nice and warm atmosphere.

The bus I went with felt more like a spaceship, with gigantic seats and television, and coffee stand in the back. Quite cool.

I spent the morning taking a free guided tour around at the old central square, listening to various stories about the different buildings and famous people who helped create this place. etc. quite interesting but our guide was not very good at english so it was quite difficult to keep track of what he said.

There's a Carnival going on at the moment(i figured out last night when i arrived) so I think ill spend the coming days partying at the Carnival and perhaps see some pyramids or snorkel in some cenotes(sink holes).

The interne here is quite fast so I uploaded some pictures from my stay at the "floating Island".

This is us helping Richie to make nets of plastic bottles, which will then be attached to a pallet which will be a component of the Island.

All food was cooked here over open fire.
