After a long local bus trip to Valladolid in the center of the
Yucatan, I found a taxi willing to take me a further 30 km or so to
the small Mayan village of Ek-Balam, where I stayed the second night
in the Genesis Eco-Hotel. Lee, the Canadian owner of the hotel,
greeted me in English on my arrival, gave me a tour of the hotel, and
explained that the room I'd reserved with a bathroom was still under
construction. Instead, she offered the "bird house," a two-storey
cabana with no bathroom but a nice breeze and hammock. Idyllic.
