Today I went on a day trip to see three Cenotes. The whole trip was really amazing and fun and random. Me and She-ra and 2 guys from England went on an adventure. First we found a collectivo that was going to the town (I´ll find out the name of the town later). Then we had to wait for the van to completely fill up before we left. It was about 1 1/2 ride with stops whenever someone wanted off or was waiting at the side of the road.
To get to the Cenotes we had to hire a man and horse to drive us. The 5 of us all sat on this wooden flat that was on rails and the horse pulled us. To get into the Cenote we went descended into a hole in the ground on an iron ladder. With my backpack on, I was kind of scraping the sides of the hole at one point. The descent was 35 metres. It was really freaky. But the Cenote was one of the most beautiful things I´ve seen. There were beams of light coming in and the water was clear and there were stalactites and roots coming down into the water through the roof. And there were bats. But they were really high up. It was amazing. We all swam for a long time and it was heaven.
The next two weren´t as amazing as the first. From the second you could see an entire tree up above and all of its roots below the surface of the ground. And there was a hole in the ground up above which let in this perfect halo-like beam of light. We swam there too. The third one had all of these birds playing and chasing each other. Hopefully I´ll have some good pictures.
After we were back, me and the Brits went for some Mex food and Sols. There was some festival that I didn´t understand that we went and watched. And now I´m back. The Brits are heading to Tulum which is south of Cancun and supposed to have the same quality beaches but be more laid back and hippy-ish, but I think I´m not ready to relax again. Cancun relaxed me out!
I really don´t know where I´m going next. I am liking traveling alone because that total uncertainty is alright :)
