4th march: beach tour day. 1st stop Venice beach. Beautiful day, cannot believe how much it has warmed up since we first landed. 99c lemonade, that'll be $1.10, how ridiculous is non-inclusive tax?! Bought some fancy sunnies after the roller coaster event and wandered around Venice beach for a bit (been in such films as American history x and heaps more). It is most definitely where the weirdos go! Check the blog picture for today (no I was sneaky and did not pa...

3rd march: it was a ...... Magic mountain!! After an ordeal trying to organise a hire car we headed out to magic mountain. It was awesome, I see where wonderland got its inspiration!!

Then a walk trough the jungle for a swim in a cenonte (Mayan cave) after the...

28th feb. leaving the life of luxury for a bus to cancun this morning, it was nice not having to worry about carrying money and doing nothing at all but in think that after a couple of days I'm ready to see something exciting again. Caught the bus after a huge breakfast to tide us over for lunch as well. Decided to stay near the downtown area of cancun as opposed to the more touristy hotel district. Went to find a tour for coba for tomorrow which is going to be q...
