Vi pakkede vores ting og tog baaden over kl 14. Baadturen tog omkring 20 min ogsaa var vi i paradis. Alt er sindsygt billigt og vejret er overdrevet godt. Strandene er som billederne i de vildeste feriekataloger og vi bor paa et rigtig fedt Hostel Poc Na. Vi indlogerede os og gik paa stranden. Vandet var helt klart og mindre saltet end Cancun, hvilket betyder at det stadig er sindsygt saltet - det smager som McDonalds pomfritter, saa i kan nok regne ud, at Per ligger paa hospitalet pt. til udpumpning. Vi kunne heller ikke forstaa at han havde en hel spand af den billige mayo med ud i vandet - han sagde det var solcreme han havde koebt paa McDonalds. Vi synes det loed underligt, men eftersom han rent faktisk smurte sig ind i det ... read more

Finally took some time from my busy schedule to write another action packed entry to the blog ala Bevan. We arriveds into Cancun 5 days ago now. And many beverages have been consumed so my memory is...lts say...clouded. Well we arrived into cancun airport at it was pretty cool. After seeing the likes of Sydney, Chicago, Dallas, London it was interesting to be surrounded by lots of happy people in holiday instead of the crazy hoards of people in the big cities. Almost relaxing. We got on our bus and found our hostel without too much drama. Downtown Cancun was cool. Reminds me much of Thailand. Very poor, run-down buildings, and a good mix of locals and tourists. I was very cautious of the area, thou. Just thinking that the Mexican people are a bit dodgey..... ... read more

Our plan was to go to Isla Mujeres, a small island just off the coast of Cancun, about 1km by 5km. You have to take a ferry to the island. There are 3 points where you can get on and off. We got a tip from our concierge and headed to Puerto Juárez, the furthest point from Zona Hotelera. This is better because the ferry is more frequent, runs every 15 minutes or so and upto midnight or later. It is also half the price as the other ferrys. We disembarked at Playa del Norte (North beach), the main beach, but didn't spend much time there. Rented a moped and headed south to Punta Sur (southern tip). On the way, we made a quick stop at Hacienda Mundaca, an ancient museum/garden, which wasn't much and in ... read more
