I'm going to start by mentioning the obvious - Mexico is hot! In fact after day one I pretty much resembled a tomato, so ALex took me to the Supermercado and made me buy factor 50!
When I got here I was a little aprehensive- my Spanish is limited to what I remember from GCSE and that isn't that much! So I arrived at the airport managed to take the bus into Cancun and then all I had to do was find somewhere to stay. I found the Hostel Mexico which was reasonable in price and had friendly staff and free breakfast.
Day 2 met Alex,29, and Theo,21, from Australia who have been travelling round Latin America for about 3 months. Also met Alana,28, and Elly,29, from Canada who have just started a 6 week trip round Central America. The 5 of us just sort of started hanging out and going clubbing and to the beach. They keep teasing me about being the baby though!
Day 3 Went to the la Playa which was beautiful the Ocean was so Blue and the sand so white - it looked exactly like a Pirates of the Carribean scene. Got sunburnt - ouch!
Day 4 Well I'm sitting here typing so I figure today is a lazy day, just hanging out, phoning home to reassure Mum, Dad, Sylvester and Janet that I'm fine and have not been kidnapped!
Tomorrow I'm going on a day trip to these really cool Mayan Ruins so will post more when I get back and try to post some photos too.
Lots of love,
