Cancun ruins, part 2

Not all of the tourist know it but there are two sets of ruins in Cancun. The second, more remote, less touristy ruins are from fishing village which is considered to be ancient Cancun, the ruins are called El Meco and are located in the northern beach part of the place. While ruins in the tourist area have a great museum, they can't really offer much in ruins department, after all it used to be a very wealthy and big but farm. El Meco ruins is actually a small Mayan village and it preserved quite well. The only downside of it is the size, I think it's hard to enjoy it more than an hour. On the bright side during the seaweed season the cleanest beaches are located close so if you happen to be in Cancun it might be a great idea to plan on a beach day. Also there are mostly locals on the beaches nearby so you will get a different vibe. And marines with yatchs and boats are literally everywhere so you are more than welcome to enjoy these kind of views (I very much did). Also while exploring the ruins we met different tourists and even managed to get a photo of us together! I am always very happy when we have proper photo together.






For the walk I have chosen neutral palette. These shorts are still comfortable and cute to wear so I enjoy wearing them while I can. It is actually nice to feel something about your belly that is not a dress. White shirt is a staple classic and I definitely enjoy wearing it. My new and also beige baseball cap finished up the look (it has "outdoors" written all over it). I am so happy I finally have a baseball cap, it is an absolute must for me to have.




Bonus: Find all the lizards photo:


I was wearing:
Befree shorts
Uniqlo shirt
c/o iGlassesshop glasses
Cuidado con el Perro cap
Fila flipflops

 

Have a nice day,

  1. I have been to Cancun a few times. On one trip, I visited Chichen- Itza on a tour. The ruins you are talking about look less touristy, more room to roam, which is good! Much of Cancun, as you know, can get quite crowded.

    1. I have a feeling that Cancun is always crowded, at least downtown. I definitely fail to see few people outside at any given moment. I don't mind that at all, it's a part of the charm for me really. I notice it gets less on tourist department as the summer grows near which is fine as well.

  3. It's so nice you were able to go and enjoy seeing these sights! I was so tired in my pregnancies, we didn't travel much, haha!

    Hope you are having a good weekend. It's another rainy one here!

    1. I wouldn't call a trip or a travel even anything located in the city of residence. the ruins are about 6 kilometers to the north from my home so it wasn't a big deal. however I was very concerned I would loose mobility and desire to walk during the pregnancy (especially given my back issues after the breakage) but I am absolutely free to walk for as much as I want even at 38 weeks. even if I will start to be too tired to relax, it won't be for that long anyway. I get tired faster during the pregnancy as well but normally I am quite fast to recover. I try to catch the tiredness as fast as possible and just sit for 15-20 minutes somewhere pretty to regain my strength (thankfully I don't need it all that much).
      I saw your rainy entertainment, Iooks fun, I love board games.

    1. I think there are more iguanas here than pigeons. I don't mind though they are charming (and herbivore so in case you ever here don't need to worry it might do anything to you)

  10. Ruins are like art in itself. With those burnt or dilapidated structure, you can appreciate the history and culture of the place. BTW, I like the pic with your husband carrying you. So very romantic, so in loved.

Jaime Ibiza Fashion show

It's been awhile since I have visited a  fashion show. I am so excited to get to see it from time to time here. This time I was happy enjoy and bag and luggage fashion show. The designer is pretty famous here in Mexico. He is from Guadalajara. I absolutely enjoyed the spectacle and the bags. I can easily see me rocking any of those!  Luggage collection was a special surprice. It is the first and new collection and it features cute styles, great quality and interesting shapes to carry you stuff the best way possible making trips even more enjoyable. I wore a very casual look. All brows, cute little back and comfortable shoes. I didn't get to wear something special because I was on a  go and in a bit of a hurry as I have had things to do right after. It was a great experience. I hope to see more fashion shows here. I was wearing: Cuidado con el Perro skirt and shoes MiuMiu bag H&M top   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

Ruinas El Rey

Archeological site El Rey is located in the Cancun hotel zone, right next to the most scenic beach in my opinion playa Delfines. The part of the ancient town is actually located in the nearby museum Museo Maya Cancun (if you ever visit it, don't forget to also check the ruins in the garden). But the original town was a lot more than what you see in the museum. I highly suggest you to walk a little bit further and explore the ruins of the right hand side right after playa Delfines. It is a very tranquil place with lots of iguanas for the inthuiasts and ruins to explore. the entrance is inexpensive as well. My family had a lot of fun exploring the small ruins of our town. I have chosen to wear my favorite wideleg jeans, a crop top and practical closed shoes (I always suggest some soft of closed toes shoes to explore the ruins, it allows you to move freely without worring to hurt your  feet). Definitely perfect for a relaxing weekend I was wearing:   Have a nice day...

Nicosia crush

I normally post my vacation reports when I am on other vacation but what are the rules if not break them from time to time. Today I want to share with you some special moment of trip to Cyprus last month. I finally reached Nicosia, the Cyprus capital and met a fellow blogger. Nicosia is not only a capital but also the only capital divided in two: Cyprus part and Turkish part. But it is not the only nice thing about it. The city is beautiful and made for walking. It is so nice and easy to simply walk around the narrow streets wondering what next corner will bring. Great place to hang out especially accompanied with local guide and a fellow fashion blogger. I was so happy I spent my day in Nicosia that I wanted to share it with you the soonest. So here it is.   My outfit was based on the weather. I wore my yoga leggings and top from Tonica (yes, guilty of over wearing but it is just too comfy), Uniqlo vest because it is the best ever thing to keep yourself warm,...
