https://wherearetheyblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/13/merida-mexico
WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? August 13, 2016. After our Caribbean island fix it was time to head inland and across the peninsula to Merida, the Yucatan’s biggest city and cultural centre. The city is a hub of colonial architecture and narrow, colourful and historical streets. Merida is known for its museums, free daily public performances and vitally for us – food! We loved wandering around Merida’s city streets, seeing the old colonial city gates and many p...

https://wherearetheyblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/21/tulum-and-akumal-mexico-the-mayan-riviera
WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? Tulum and Akumal, Mexico – The Mayan Riviera! August 21, 2016. A visit to Tulum is often high on the ‘must-see’ list for travellers to the Yucatan Peninsula. This seems to be mostly to visit the unusual coastal ruins or one of the many white sand beaches that are dotted down the coastline facing the turquoise blue Caribbean sea. El Castillo looking over the ocean. After a few nights in Tulum we headed a little further north, about 15 m...

WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? Reflections: Our Favourite Beaches. September 17, 2016. We realised that by the end of our trip we had visited a huge amount of amazing beaches.

A picture postcard tropical beach on this great holiday island. To read more click here. Even ...

WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? Finally (in more ways than one! 8211; Whale Sharks. August 24, 2016. We had one last chance to see them – the day before we flew home! It would mean getting up at 4.30am and taking a taxi, a local colectivo bus, another taxi and a ferry before getting on the smaller boat to get to the whale shark feeding area – about 5 hours in total. But we were willing to give it a try! That evening we had time to meet some friends, Mickey and Amanda...

WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? Final Reflections: our year away. September 17, 2016. Two years planning with the help of patient family, friends and employers went out of the window this year. What we imagined was going to be a year of living in Myanmar and volunteering for VSO turned into a year travelling, almost continually on the move, eventually ending up with a full circumnavigation of the world. All of the places we visited! We have both come away from this y...

WHERE ARE RYAN AND ANNA? About Ryan and Anna. Where are we RIGHT NOW? Isla Mujeres, Mexico. August 9, 2016. After a few months in South America and enduring Patagonia’s mid-winter while our friends and family were enjoying a record breaking UK heatwave, it was time to head north, over the equator and into the tropics. After a challenging 30 hour plane journey with tedious and lengthy transfers we finally arrived in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico! Ixchel ruins at Punta Sur. Sadly this meant the port was sh...
