Mar Azul Isla Mujeres

Ve woke up fresh and clean around 07-08, and now the jetlag has completely gone.<br>At around 13.00 we decided to go out and try to see the beach before it was too late, despite the light rain. once we get on the bus to the hotel zone where the beach is, the rain became more and more ferocious! We ended up walking around the bar area, competing on a machine where you slam a club ...

We landed in Cancun after apr. 15 hours of traveling. Martin had beforehand done some research and found a hostel for us. We took a van from tha airport there. <br><br>After checking in, eating and finding a much needed laundry shop, we fell asleep like ...

... where my co-worker got a super-sweet torta and I ordered some papas fritas con salsa. I knew it was outside of my meager budget, but it was so nice to be out of the house for a while. Not to mention, the staff is fantastic, very friendly, and they gave me a 10% discount card on my way out. I will definitely keep them on my list of places to go and have a coffee or read a book/magazine from their shelves.<br><br>

... asked if we wanted to rent a golf cart. We said 'yes' as that is the thing to do on the island. Raymond hopped on the back of his bike and off he went; it was quite an amusing sight. Raymond returned about 10 minutes later with a golf cart and picked us up. We had a great time driving around the island, seeing all the sites. The kid's favourite part (and my least favourite) was when ...

... out of our lovely room after showering and then headed back to the ferry to return to Cancun for our last night in Mexico. We went back to the hostel we had been staying in before going on our trip down the coast as we had left our big backpacks there. We slept there that night and spent the majority of the evening looking for gifts to buy for family...as we decided that we wanted to get something LITTLE for everyone...to share some of this beautiful country with them.

Jeg fløj fra Mexico city den 18. september. Indflyvningen til Cancun Airport var en meget flot oplevelse. Den tropiske halvø Yucatan producerer et væld af - for det meste - fantastisk flotte Kumulusskyer. Det var fascinerende selv for en garvet rejsende, at flyve ned imellem og igennem disse kolossale vat-tot landskaber.Cancun vil jeg ikke skrive så meget om, - jeg brugte de tre dage der til at vænne mig til varmen og ...

... then having my fairly new and loved Havianas stolen by a guy and having to wear one of the Argentina guys flip flops (Thanks Miguel!! So ashamed that they fitted me!) until l got to Rio (and could buy cheap ones!) as l had no other shoes on the island! Still wouldnt trade the memories for a million years! My BIGGEST TIP- If you ever fly into Cancun my biggest tip is to stay on Isla Mujures at Poc Na hostel.....you wont regret it!!! And get your PADI out there as its alot ...

... es zwar Oktober ist, aber trotzdem schön warm und angenehm, gings auch des öftern mal an den Strand - zum Beispiel nach Playa de Carmen (etwa 60 km von Cancun entfernt). Kaum aus dem Bus ausgestiegen, hat uns mal wieder wer angequatscht. Dieses Mal wars ein Amerikaner, der uns seine Hilfe anbieten wollte. Wir haben abgewunken und ich hab einen Lageplan gesehen, wo wir das Hostel von Sylvia suchen wollten - der Ami stand wieder neben uns und fragte, welches Hostel wir ...

... it cost a fortune, Vanessa had a dodgy ear and Nick wasn't too keen to dive so deep. An excuse to return though. So after barely 48 hours in Belize we hot footed it north to the Final Frontier, and in to Mexico, and a million miles away from Guatemala and Belize. After a mammoth journey of boat - bus - bus we made it to the town of Tulum on the Mayan Riviera, somewhat different to the English riviera. We spent three nights at a gorgeous chic resort called Diamante K ...

... make it on time..especially when we get pulled over for speeding and are delayed an extra 15 mins before getting to Adrian's house..and then it took awhile for the shuttle to come to the Park n' Fly...not surprisingly, we were the absolutely last people to check in for our flight at 5am. In hindsight it doesn't matter because our flight that was supposed to take off at 6 was delayed 2.5 hours! I spent the extra time alternately sleeping and complaining with Adrian ...
