So after i signed off my blog yesterday my girlfriend came online and we chatted on MSN and then i needed to nip to the bathroom so i told her id be back in 10 mins and we could skype.
So i nipped back to the same internet cafe and the time was 5.30pm and so i skyped with my girlfriend and it was good to talk to her although i did not feel that much better after, i suppose stuff can happen to rock the boat.
So we said our goodbyes and it was just before 6.30pm and so about an hour online, i went to pay and to improve my mood further the joker in the internet cafe tried to charge me for an hour an a half, i argued with him and just gave him for an hour and as i walked out he said dont come back buddy, like i care as the are about 10 or more internet cafes at tulum all at the same price, so i will take my buisness elsewhere.
Yes im a gringo but dont take the piss,i have been ripped off a few times in Latin America so
far and i intend not to have it happen again if at all possible and certainly not so blantantly.
So i then headed back to the hostel and found out the have free internet at the hostel.....doh, only good enough for emails or MSN, anything more and it crashes.....lol.
So i chatted on MSN with my girlfriend for another 40 mins or so and then she had to go get ready for a Couchsurfing meet and so i wished a good time etc. Also while online i asked some Couchsurfing friends if they could help her out with a job, i hope she gets a job soon and her spirits raise.
I then headed off to the local Farmica and got myself some more anti-biotics as my stomach was still giving me grief and i bought some fruit and veggies to make my dinner in the communal kitchen.
I then hung out with the guys from my dorm, the are two welsh guys, couple english guys and an aussie and then we also chatted to an american couple and comparing notes on central america.
Eventually they went for a beer and they invited me, but
cause of the pills and wanting to keep costs down i passed on it and headed to bed.
This morning i was up at 7.30am and got brekkie and got my gear ready with the intent in not missing the free beach bus, i got chatting to some danish girls as they had just come from Guatemala and the bus eventually turned up and me and some argentine girls walked from the bus drop off point to the ruins, the entrance fee is 48 pesos which is near enought 5 dollars. To save cattying a bottle with me, i had filled my hydration pack and it seems to have a mind if its own as every so often it leaked although it shouldnt as it has a bite valve.
So i headed in and went around for abour an hour and a half, the location is great and so are the views, but it think Tikal and other ruins have spoiled me, you could not climb anything it was all fenced off and even at just after 9am the ruins were mobbed.
I took a load of pictures and kept topping up my sun lotion as
i got a little too much sun yesterday, after the ruins i headed to the beach were the bus picks up and swam for a little while to cool down, it was quite breezy and my stuff got covered in sand....lol.
Then i headed up to the meet up point for the bus and met the danish girls again and chatted with two english guys and an american guy.
We got back to the hostel and me Matt and Nick (the english guys) and Brian the american we chatted about Thailand and other places we had been and then we went ro a local cafe and i had tortillas, eggs and refried beans and maybe the anti-biotics are helping as my stomach is not so bad this afternoon.
We headed back to the hostel and we have been all chilling out, then i chatted to my girlfriend on MSN and she is in better spirits and so i feel better now and i chatted to some american girls for a while and cooked myself a good dinner and then after dinner i spoke to my girlfriend again and i had a beer so my chin is up
and its all good again and i spoke to my sister.
Then later om i played poker with my dorm mates using cotton buds as chips....lol
Adios amigos
