Blogs from Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, North America

We awoke at my grandmothers house in Sydney Australia the day of our flights, she had offered to drive us to the airport and we greatfully accepted. We had freshly squeezed juice for breakfast and the best smoothie and salad for lunch before hopping in the car with my little sister and grandmother headed to the airport. Our flight was to leave at 3.30 and after only a brief hiccup at the check in (we had no esta) we were through to international. Danel found a new yoyo to buy for the trip after leaving his at home. Our first flight duration was 4 hours, bound for Auckland, New Zealand where we would have a brief stop over before boarding a plane to L.A. The second leg of the trip would take 12 hours though it ... read more

To mark a last day in Cancun we thought it was right to spend it on the famous beach in the Zona Hotelia.

As we recline in our sun lounger it was certainly turning out to be great day. I decided to take ... read more

Our last 2 nights in Mexico we spent in Cancun, to have one more day to relax and get sorted out. It was a bit of a flash back for Steve, although unfortunately we found the all−inclusive hotel he stayed at last time pretty much run down and for sale.. So, what is there to say about Cancun.. First of all, it clearly was low−season (as opposed to spring break, aka super crazy season, when Steve was there the first time). But still, I could kind of get the picture. Lots of hotels, many of which all-inclusive, spread around the separate tourist island (called the hotel zone), all bars and clubs in a specific part of the strip, and most restaurants located in either malls or hotels – all of them at American rather than Mexican ... read more
