North America » Mexico » Quintana Roo » Playa del Carmen February 19th 2008

So i got up this morning just after eight and was a little comatose at first and i spoke to Brian an american guy i met when i first turned up at the hostel and well this traveling has sent my dates and times right of the radar and so it turns out today is the 19th and i get my shuttle from Playa Del Carmen tomorrow and its an early start and the buses could be a risk and so i decided to head to Playa Del Carmen for one night there and Brian suggested the Hostel Playa as a cheap place and it was in the lonely planet guide and so i got some brekkie and checked out and ditched my stuff in the luggage room and decided after speaking to a few folk ... read more

North America » Mexico » Quintana Roo » Tulum February 19th 2008

So i woke up at around 8.30 am a bit of a lie in....lol, i planned to hang out with my dorm mates and had suggested we got to a Cenote which is an underground gave system with rivers. The Yuctan basically has no rivers or lakes and the Mayans got all there water from the underground rivers via Cenotes. Id suggested we all chip in for a cab and avoid the tour costs, we all got up and grabbed berkkie apart from the english guy Elliot who slept through breakfast......lol. The others took there washing to a local place and i did mine in the sink with travel wash. A few hours later after chilling out and everyone doing there own thing they decided to do a tour and with six of us no discount ... read more

So after i signed off my blog yesterday my girlfriend came online and we chatted on MSN and then i needed to nip to the bathroom so i told her id be back in 10 mins and we could skype. So i nipped back to the same internet cafe and the time was 5.30pm and so i skyped with my girlfriend and it was good to talk to her although i did not feel that much better after, i suppose stuff can happen to rock the boat.

So after the internet yesteray i headed back to the hostel and bumped into vibert a dutch guy i met in Flores and he was sharing my dorm. I sorted my stuff out and pretty much all of us in the dorm went to bed, three guys in the dorm including me and the rest were girls. The was music on in the courtyard and so i put my ear plugs in and eventually got to sleep and i was woken again ny a bad stomach, its what do i have to take to sort it out. So the hostel offers free water and free breakfast and so that saved me some money. The also have a free bus to the beach, but by the time me and Vibert were done we had missed and had ... read more

So after catching up on emails etc yesterday i went for a walk around Florres it is so idyllic and i looked round the various souvenir shops for something to take home regarding my adventure in Central America, i saw a mayan print which when framed would be cool and would take like no space up in my rucksack so i may head back and get it tomorrow. I bumped into Eric and Constantine the german couple and they suggested lunch at a place called casa amelia and so i went there and a veggie pizza and it was quite nice and fairly cheap, as i got there Eric and Constantine and some other travelers were finishing up and so i chatted to them and then they went to get other things done.

So after finishing up at the internet cafe, Me Flo and Martin met a French Candian woman and we went to the Blue Grill bar and had a few cervezas and chatted and chilled out to some live latin american music and after a little while the heavens opened and the was some serious rain coming down. We also chatted to the bar Owner Michelle who is American and has lived in German and the Cayman Isles but to name a few places and she was cool and knowledgable if you go to copan or you could speak to a dutch lady Jessica in Picammes resturant. Anyway after a while we decided to go back to our hotels as we had an early start, Martin headed back to his place and me and Flo our place ... read more

So yesterdays blog i would imagine would have left you thinking i was down in the dumps and that much was true. I did not sleep to well during the night and then i got woken up at 6am as i had not cancelled my alarm form the day before and then again at 7am by some noisey Americans chatting in the courtyard outside my room, so i showered and got my gear together and decided to head out and try and get a bus to Copan Ruinas. I flagged a taxi and he quoted me 60 Lempiarhs and so i barted him down to 50 Lempiarhs, as it turned out the main bus station is further out than the Rey Expresso station and so the taxi driver last night had either charged double because of ... read more
