After our tour to the ruins I must have been dehydrated because I wasn’t well and had a bout of vomiting. It was very extreme heat and we were perspiring profusely. I felt very queasy and eating anything was difficult. We drove today to Merida via the highway which was pretty rough. Countryside a lot like the hinterland behind Byron Bay. Trucks, trucks and more trucks along the way. One thing that surprised me is the number of Volkswagen Beetle in Mexico. Peter told me that Volkswagen continued to build them here for some time after discontinuing elsewhere. They are such an iconic shape with so much more character than the modern cars and are here in all colours and conditions from hotted up to dilapidated.
Another iconic mode of transport is the Tuk tuk. They are like noddy toys in different colours and every where.
Another feature of Mexico is no paper in the toilet! Everywhere there are signs and containers. It was a bit confronting at first but now we are used to it.
Lots of checkpoints along the highway aimed at migrants. We had to carry our passports in an accessible place for when we were stopped. We were once by two handsome young guts who took one look and sent us on our way.
Merida very appealing. Mezcal cocktail the medicine needed. I am back on track!!

So sorry to hear you were unwell but glad that it appeared fleeting. Your rough road travel wouldn’t have helped your queasiness. Fingers crossed it’s all behind you now and the days to come will be excellent in every way! Nine xx
