We
decided to take a taxi to Merida to shop. At the pier, we asked for a cab
driver that could speak some English. We were assured our driver could
understand and speak some English, but that was so not true. He didn't
understand a thing. We made the best of it anyhow. We paid $70 for a van
(five of us) round trip, 3 hours of shopping. The sidewalks are narrow and
since this is the capital of Yucatan, it is highly populated with people
everywhere. The shopping there was disappointing.
We did however visit a church that was fabulous near the plaza. The inside
is amazing and I recommend you visit if able. We felt that we should have
just stayed in Progresso on the beach, there is a nice area and some
shopping, too. Others told us they were bombarded in Progresso by people
asking them to shop at their stores, and were turned off by this. The
weather was nice, but really windy. One family told us they took the
excursion to see the ruins and loved it.
