Our last day on Isla Mujeres didn´t exactly go to plan, to start with I was feeling a bit down (think we are both beginning to miss home a bit), then at the restaurant that evening our meals were wrong...mine was wrong even when they tried to correct it and the waiter made it out as if it was my fault. This put me in a bad mood, which wasn´t helped when Ian´s card was swallowed by the ATM. The next morning Ian did his best to speak to the bank on the phone in ...

We have been quite lazy recently with lots of laying on beaches, massages and eating too much so we hired some bikes to try and make ourselves feel like we were at least getting a bit of exercise! I think we cycled for about 4 hours, which in my unfit state was a lot! We first cycled to the other end of the island to go and see the turtle farm. The guide book had described the living conditions as humane but I am not sure that we would have agreed...their pools ...

Cancun is pretty much the big city with no character that I expecte...

This morning we woke up after a fantastic nights sleep in our new posh hotel room..well, it is posh by our standards! I can´t believe we spent the same on a hostel that was a total dive! Yesterday and today were beach days, simply chilling out days. There are lots of excursions that you can do from Playa, but they are things that we have already done elsewhere (ruins, snorkeling, zoos, jungle etc). The trips we took previously were absolutely amazing and we did...
