Not everyone enjoys the privilege of accommodation like we enjoy on a nightly basis.The bus queue for a bus to/from Uman and Merida. The long distance buses have a depot on the edge of town and the local buses have to make do with roadside pickups at key points in and around town.Various views around the city of 900,000 people which, interestingly, is not listed as a World Heritage site as it was in Campeche.We knew we were in a tourist area in Campeche with other non Latino visitors. In Merida the giveaway was the attempt to translate the menu into English with the spelling of water being a favourite.
Although we were interested in what Merida had to offer compared to Campeche our main objective was a visit to the Post Office to send home 4 kg of kit which we were no longer using.We’ve made mention of this before; to reach the bank we have to pass the motorcycles, mobile phones, tv screens, washing machines, tumble dryers, fridge/freezers and the bank staff, together with ATM’s, are at the rear.
