serious question do you think that travelling has helped our relationship
we're Lloyd and Mandy we're digital Nomads currently travelling the world in search of
somewhere to call home we're currently exploring the magical country of Mexico
and today we're travelling from Cancun to the safest city in Latin America Merida
to you
it's always sunny right
sunshines
it's about 7 30 we got roughly an hour till the bus leaves for Merida from Cancun she's got a pack
have some breakfast maybe get some food for the ride because I think it's a four hour bus ride but
I'm anticipating it being like five or six because that's usually how these go Andy's pretty much
or patch you didn't really unpack we're in a year in Cancun for two nights have a look at her stuff
here's mine
[ __ ] everywhere
thank you
foreign
thank you
just want to say thank you to level eight for helping keep us on the road we're really happy
that we made the switch to level 8 suitcases from our soft top suitcases just been really
durable really easy to keep organized and just made our travels a little bit more smoother I
love the added bit of security here as well I love that it completely locks up
and has the code here so no one's cracking into my bag without me knowing about it I
don't understand why baggage handlers seem to like really rough up bags for some reason but
these bags are super durable we haven't had anything break which is awesome my last bag
broke after our first flight so it's really nice to have something that outlasts all of
our flights and bus trips that we go on I think this is my favorite part about leveling luggage
oh it's so easy to move around literally like you don't have to put in any effort to get this
thing around airports our old bags was such a pain in the our old bags were so annoying
to get around airports and get on buses and things like that it was a real hassle this
is super simple super light for the size of it it's not very big but we can fit everything we
used to fit into our old bags into these little suitcases so if you're on the hunt
for new luggage or in the market for some uh head down to the link in the description head
to level eight use code Lloyd and Mandy and you'll get 10 off your first purchase foreign
I'm in snacks it
so so far we've both agreed that locals here are very welcoming of tourists I think maybe
because people maybe in Playa del Carmen get a little bit out of hand tourism is a bit blown
up in Playa del Carmen obviously so maybe it's not as exciting for foreigners to be there but
everyone's been so lovely and helpful to us since we've been here um Merida is really beautiful
all I can say
well I feel so good I slept for 10 hours that's a record for me I thought I was
going to wake up at like 5 30 6 o'clock and go for a run while Mandy slept but
so dark in there and uh quiet and the bed was so comfortable it might also be because
we had separate beds again yeah it's a third night in a row with separate beds
around here
I don't like it look how many there are
oh she's got food over there
foreign
receptionist gave us a bunch of recommendations for food to try that's all really close by we've
come to this local restaurant and so far all the food's so much cheaper than like
Cancun or Playa it's awesome and it looks much more authentic the hotel
is also walking distance to like it's like a park in the middle and a bunch
of cafes around it so we're like three blocks from the center of town oh yeah
foreign
is it good yeah okay we just tried the sopa de Lima but we're traveling now
we want to be a little bit more adventurous with our food choices because when we were in Playa
del Carmen we were pretty much just eating tacos every time we went out and then just cooked at
home but now that we're a proper being tourists again gonna try a lot more different dishes
so the same
I've never had this before we've got our own private office here in the hotel I can get
all my work done for the day and then we'll go get some lunch later this is pretty ideal
all right we finished all the work we had to get done today and now we're gonna go head out and
get something to eat the guy at the front desk gave us like a list of bars to check out while
we're here gave us like seven bars with like live music and stuff but it's a bit early it's like
not even seven o'clock yet so I think we'll go get something to eat first the center of town is like
maybe six or seven blocks away from us and there seems to be heaps going on at night
foreign
oh yeah
you're ready he's here right here
it's found a hole in the wall pizza place as we were just walking down one of the main streets
um it's really nice in here it sort of feels like a used to be someone's backyard and they've
turned it into a restaurant seems to be sort of a theme here in Merida so many like unassuming
places we barely even saw this joint and then you walk in and it's like this whole big back area
20 tables I'm sure it's going to be full later but it's just a few people here now
I tried to do it nice if you only had one more meal before you died
what would it be not pizza really what would it be most land ew
being T-bone steak mushroom gravy but definitely
brownies and ice cream okay yeah we're gonna get a dessert too okay
foreign
carriage
seen so many of these riding around Mandy's feet hurting she's got these new shoes
so we're gonna ride into style instead this is pretty cool
foreign
a few blocks from Centro stopped at a red light and it is dead silent
so cool probably cool if I had music on the back of this actually I asked
the driver's name he said Antonio Banderas there must be a few around
in Mexico he's pointing out landmarks but we have no idea really what he's saying
