Halong Bay

We'd heard a lot of horror stories about trips to Halong Bay so we took the advice of the majority of people we'd met and joined the Castaway tour of Halong Bay booked through our hostel.

The tour included 2 nights on a private island sleeping in huts and a couple of activities thrown in too....

Palenque

The Palenque ruins are famous worldwide (to those who know them at least). I had personally never heard of them. That possibly helped lower my expectations, but regardless I was blown away. Palenque was definitely my favourite ruin, a little out of the way to avoid the bus loads of Chichen Itza, and bigger than Coba. You can climb pretty much anything (great for us, possibly not for future generations), and the jungle setting gives it that great India Jones feels. Definitely check it out if you get the chance!

The colourful streets of Campeche old town are a sight to behold. With a history of swashbuckling pirates (though the Spanish translations make for interesting reading) and some very picturesque streets Campeche was another surprise of the Yucatan and it's definitely worth a day to explore.
