Hola again.
We arrived back in Mexico city late and had to get the metro back to the hotel to pick up our main packs. The metro is so easy to use and mega cheap and there is always people on each carriage selling what is quite literally crap but they need to make a buck. This trip a shirtless guy got on put down a sheet of broken glass bottles then did a backwards body slam into the glass, the most most bizzare type of busking I have ever seen. He was covered in scars so obviously been doing it for a while. Had booked another place to stay so headed over there knackered to find our private room at the hostel (we have either got old or snobby) had the smallest single bed. There was no room for me and when I went to query it they guy said yeah sorry bout thst but it is the only room/bed we have left. I ended up on a mattress on the floor but we scored a free cab ride to airport in the morn cos of it.
We decided to take the full Cancun experience and book in
at a resort....the cheapest but still nice we could afford. Was stoked when we got a free upgrade to a beach view room, I think this was so they didnt put us between all the spring breakers who in the end were pretty tame. Didnt venture far from the hotel the first night and had dinner at an aussie themed steakhouse. The portions were massive and totally blew our food budget for the day. I had to write on the survey they give you at the end that they needed to turn the map of Australia they had on the wall around 180 degrees as it was bugging me all meal...they had Tasmania in the right spot tho.
Headed into downtown next day and walked round Market 28. Reminded me of Phuket markets, everyone trying to flog you the same stuff. Struggled to find a main eating area with lots of people. Settled on a place and had nachos since it felt like we were in little America and Daz wasnt ready for another taco. Headed back to the hotel zone where all the springbreakers were drinking. Felt very old. It was St Patricks day and we walked past an Irish bar. Decided we had to have a beer there so went in past the bouncer who looked at us funny. When we left we realised there was a line out yhe front and we had come in the side entrance. We decided the bouncer didnt stop us cos we werent 18. Drinks were more expensive than at home so we just walked around the club area and went home, we were already spending more in 2 days at Cancun than 8 days in Cuba. Decided to go cheap the next day. Not being hung over we were up early and scored awesome beach chairs before the uni kids were awake. Had a great day on the beach in the bluest water that was warm enough that even I could swim in. Not much else to say about Cancun. Awesome beach but need lotsa spula to have fun.
