OK first entry, will try not to be too boring. Just watching tottenham lose in extra time of the Carling cup semi-final (while Zoe's on the beach enjoying the sunshine) so apologies if the tone is a little depressed. In Playa del Carmen at the moment continuing with the 'wake up-eat-sit on beach-eat-drink-sit on beach-eat-drink-go to sleep' cycle that's so far been the focus of our trip.
As expected Cancun was a bit of a dump but had a good couple of days lazing about before we went to Isla Mujeres (little island 25min boat away from Cancun). Much cooler place with a good mix of backpackers and loud Amercians - instead of solely the latter. Really nice white sandy beaches palm trees blue sea - you know the sort (will upload pictures eventually). Begged Zoe to let me hire us a golf buggy for the day so we could burn round the island (sometimes at a whopping 15mph). First stop was a turtle farm - possibly the most pointless place I´ve ever been in my life. Couple of big tubs with some apparently dead turtles floating about. Eventually managed to goad them into movement by throwing bits of food at their heads (yes I hear all the gasps from the animal cruelty faction, but really this place was so dull Richard Attenborough would have brought a BB gun).
Next was Punta Sur (Mayan Ruins stuck right on the cliffs at the edge of the island). Ruins were pathetic and surrounding by some really dodgey artwork from the mexican blind hedgehogs association, but the views were incredible and you could walk down all around the cliff on a little path and take pictures of iguanas (didn't have to throw anything at them to make them move - but did anyway just for fun). Again when I can upload the pictures you'll be able to see all of this.
Weather's lovely, foods great, we're still alive yada yada yada. For some reason we both still seem unable to stay awake past about 8.30pm and asleep past 6am but I expect that'll pass eventually. Playa seems pretty cool so will probably hang around here for a bit.
Said before I left that I wouldn't be the kind of person who writes loads and loads of pointless drivel.
Clearly I was wrong.
Toodles.
