Friday, 13 April Izamal. Yeah, Friday. We have decided to go to Izamal for a night, it is supposed to rain here on Sunday so decided a Friday night away and come back to Merida on Saturday will work fine. Andre is off this morning to find the bus station to go to Izamal. This is a strange city, depending on where you are going there are different bus stations, and different bus companies.
He was also going to pick up some groceries, but since we are headed out for the night anyway will put that off for now. Andres walk around Merida this morning Rooms by the hour, think we'll pass, but the more hours you stay the cheaper it gets! Freddy has a place here! After getting the ticket Andre went exploring.
He found the market behind the main market. Most shops on the second and third floors are not open. Not as crazy as the main market either. Success, Andre arrives back with 2 tickets for the 2PM bus.
The bus station is about a 15 minute walk from our place, it will be hot going, but walking on the shady side of the street makes it bearable. We leave in time for one last quick visit and walk by the flower park on our way to the bus station, I think I have been here about 5 times now, but this is the prettiest as all the flowers are now in bloom.
This bus is different than the ADO bus we took before to Campeche, it is definitely second class. No bathroom on board, no movies, but it does the trick.
