Translation of finura in Spanish-English

In the that time of the year, when I used to go to school, I had to get up very early and leave the house at around seven o'clock in the morning. At this time it was still night, dark and cold outside.
Anyway, there were no direct connections between here and Yucatan, so that I needed to drive to another city, around 2 hours by coach. That being said, I wanted to enjoy and relax up here a little more.
I went to the deck and except one staff member who slept there on the floor I was the only one. I installed my camera and waited for the light to arrive. I expected the images to be more spectacular.
