26th - 28th Feb - MERIDA - Rainbow RV Resort - (£13)
The Rainbow RV park is like a park in the middle of the city, could be that the 50 site RV park has only us in it. This time last year it was full, swine flu, recession and drug wars have taken its toll. Located perfectly to bus it into el centro and opposite a shopping mall called “Liverpool”and a cinema which we have made the most of. We saw SANCTUM and BLACK SWAN, was great to cross the road and be in the cinema. Merida looks quite wealthy, clean streets, colonial Spanish, safe and home to a lot of the Mexicans who have the Mayan indigenous bloodline and they are so kind, friendly and…VERY short. Adele looks like a giant or like she is the parent with her kids around her. (They keep asking whether she is German!) The town is famous for hammocks and panama hats to which we are now proud owners. Sunday afternoon the Meridians go to town and hang out in the main plaza where there is a market, free music and then they dance. It is so sweet to see the old couples dance salsa together. It is incredibly hot here around 32 deg, should be hitting the beach and coast within the next 2/3 days.
