Summer break in Cancun

---

All the students from the states were there with us in Cancun- it was heaving and Kay and I felt like right oldies as we partied alongside them- they have soo much energy!

During our time in Cancun we sampled pretty much all of the local cuisine, all of it delicious! We sunbathed at a few hotels (illegally) as we weren't really meant to be using the facilities unless we were paying guests- ah well! Our hotel was nice we stayed in downtown Cancun, despite the connotations of 'downtown', Hotel Margarita's was lovely, really clean, and a central location- we had to get the bus into central Cancun, it was 6.50 pesos, about 40 pence! Food was soo cheap- very dangerous for the two of us as we just wanted to sample everything!

As for the cultural aspect, we managed to visit the ruins of Coba and had a fun filled day doing some rather strange activities like, propelling down a rock face, zip lining across the forest, swimming in an underground cave and finally, what it all comes down to in Mexico, having a wonderfully cooked meal in a Mayan village!

The weather was ok, not perfect, but when it was hot it was certainly hot, and when it was cool, well it was just cool.

Cancun is definitely a party city, and it would be great for a girly holiday away! I would definitely go back for the sun and the partying, oooppps and of course the great food!
