well what can i say but i have finally decided to write our first blog of this trip. i wanted to have loads to tell you before i starting writing and felt a little lazy too.
ok here goes ... after a long 24 hour trip we finally arrived to cancun and got on our way to downtown cancun to find our hostel. my spanish being a little how do say it ....crap(nicest word could think of) asking for directions was tricky but with abit of sign language we got there only relising it was just round the corner. we checked in then got shown around the hostel this being my first appearance staying in one i had no idea how it would be. all was well so me an jessie settle in and relised our gap year is now started.
i will try to keep the rest short as if i carry on like above you might be a sleep on the keyboard by the time i get to the third day.
later that eveing we met 3 aussie guys , a dutch girl debbie , an isreal , and a american scott , northern brit charlotte (got too much energy) . we headed later that with the aussie´s and the "yank" to spring break. we had a good night and a all can drink thing we both didn´t feel too pretty in the morning.
saturday (24th march) we chilled at teh beach to get ride of our hangover then we decided in the evening to try out some of the local bars with dutch debbie , 2 guys from norway and some others. locals are nice great place to relax drink and play a little pool. the sunday i decide to exploire the beach and ended up going for a 5 hour walk then after a little rest me and jesse went out to try spring break again. entertain evening which somehow ended up me holding some british girl hand while she was having a tattoo.
monday we finally decided to catch up on some sleep and as the weather was poo we didn´t feel bad for missing a day.the next day we made up for it by heading across the sea on a 20 minute ferry to a little island called Isla Mujeras. this island thank god is away from all the americanised Cancun. the hostel was great with a resturant /bar plus a beach bar in the evening. when we got to the beach to our suprised we found the two guys from norway who were in our hostel back in cancun. then behind us scott the american so with that it made a good start to our stay on the island. in the evening i relised that my lack of rubbing teh sun cream evenly left me with little red patches on my back. Lin and her sister anneka arrived who we met through dutch debbie the day before. so know we had a good little group. we experianced the beach bar in the eveing which was nice to chat while drinkin and listen to music with the sea waves crashing bear by.
the next day (wednesday) we classed it as our exercise day. went for a 2 hour bike to explore the island then joined lin and anneka on the beach where we had fun taking photos with dennis . Dennis is our mascot that we will travelling with around the world.check out the pictures to see Dennis in action. after abit of vollyball and dinner with the girls and the guys from norway (magus & roar)we headed back to cancun saying our goodbyes with looking to hopfully meeting somewhere further down trip.
Thursday waking up back in cancun had a little walk around the local area then i got heatache and headed back to the hostel. shortly after charlotte and Lucy arrived back from Cuba and i joined them at the beach with austrian guy called danny. this is where things got a little interesting. we went for dip in the sea after going over a few waves we relised that we were a far abit away for the shore. we started to swim back to the shore but for danny the current was too strong and he started to scream"help help " .i was thinking of turning back but as i was struggling to get back to shore it wasn´t the best plan. i head for the shore so i could get help. charlotte was behind me so after helping her out a guy on a jet bike went in to get danny and lucy . afterwards we sat down having a little laugh about it and knowing that it could of been worse . lesson learnt that beware of the current before entering the sea even if it looks calm before getting in .
friday we decide to go and do a little of shopping at the flee market but couldn´t really find anything as everything was tat expect things like a massive sambaro but where was i going to put that and hold it for a year. as we were leaving on sunday to start moving south we decide one last big night out should be done. basically don´t ask me what happened i can´t remember
well to some up Cancun : nice place to party if you are on sprong break but my whole outlook on it change after the first day as we wanted something away from the tourists . highlight was lsia Mujeras a small part of pardise. the travellers we met in cancun helped us settle in our new life for the year .
