Since last we (I) spoke, I was just hanging around in Playa Del Carmen with Kane and these 2 Welsh guys (Richie and Geoff) for an evening and part of a day. Nothing too major happened as dar as I can remember apart from getting my back burned on a cloudy morning wearing sun cream, and meeting a Finnish woman who looked exactly liked the Grinch and sounded like she was about to cry everytime she spoke. We decided to head back to Cancun on Friday evening to experience the phenomenon that is Coco Bongos. We stayed in a nice little hostel downtown, where me met some posh English gap year girls called Poppy, Clemmy and Verity ¿I kid you not? ¿I swear these keyboard buttons change to different things during one session?, and a Danish dude called Ulrik. The latter was travelling on his own, so he decided to join us for Coco Bongo
Two Beauties We Were Perving At
. We turned up to the club about 10:45, where we were ushered into some VIP line and ended up paying 51 Dollars each to get in. Although this sounds a lot, it was well worth it. All drinks are free, and although youre supposed to tip for every drink, we didnt as we are poor bums. The scowls from the Mexicans were worth the damage control to our funds. Anyway, Coco Bongos is like a mix between a club and a circus and a musical. Although they do have periods where there is just dancing and music, these are interrupted every so often by various acts, which normally include people jumping from the ceiling and swinging around on trapeses ¿eg Spiderman, Matrix, Passion of the Christ etc?, or are tribute acts eg Moulin Rouge, Michael Jackson, Madonna etc. So anyway we had an awesome night, certainy an exprience. Right, this keyboard sucks, and Im bored of going back ad correcting this, so apologies for the spelling tat will now follow.
The next da we were al pretty beat, and so we decided to head t Tulum ¿with Ulrik in tow? to relax for a while. Were strayig at a coo hostel where there is a big area where eveyone hangs out with hammocs, bbqs etc. We wet out last night to this local Cuban bar, where the enormus=breasted ¿sorry Kate? waitress doubles as a dancer who tries to lure yu onto the dancefloor
My sunburned back
. We al had to have a go, and Ive rarely felt so unconfortable. We spent today visiting the Mayan ruins of Tulum. The ruins themselves arent all that impressive, but the etting on the coast is amazing. Rather than paying for a taxi to get there, we decided to wal along the roks by the beach to get there, and we ended up climbing over a wall to get in through the back, so didnt have to pay. Nice. We spent ost of the day chiling by the beach just by the ruins, which was beautiful.
Weve just come back and had dinner, and are now off t play some poker hopefully. Until next time, adiosª
