Day 2: Cancun, Mexico.
After a really hot night I managed to find the air con switch and after that it was lovely and cool. We were told the night before that we were to be outside by 9am and since I was still on UK time I was out way before that. I made the most of it and sat out in the sun. It was already getting hot. Although we were told to be out by 9, the guy who said that was no where to be seen until way after that himself.
Breakfast was watermelon, grapefruit, bread and jam and muffins! Still so weird to me that people eat those for breakfast. It was so good. We got ready and headed to the beach which didn't take long as it was only a 2 minute walk away. White sandy beaches with perfectly clear blue sea. Paradise. Of course I went for a swim. A short one as it was very choppy, but swimming none the less. We decided to go back to the hotel (before we were a burnt crisp) via Exxo - the Tesco of Mexico, they're everywhere! - for a refreshing bottle of freezing cold water. It was heaven in a bottle. We spent the afternoon on sun lounger at our hotel under a gazebo because being burnt whilst carrying a heavy rucksack just didn't seem at all fun. One person didn't think the same though. I thought I saw a lobster in the middle of our hotel.
Dinner was a restaurant ten minutes down the street to a local Mexican place. I had chicken enchiladas and a number 9 juice of strawberries, pineapple and orange. Seriously there was about 30 different flavours and it was huge! The food was delicious.
And after our very busy day (don't worry the sarcasm follows me everywhere! There's plenty more where that comes from) we went back to our hotel for bed. Tomorrow is down to business. The expedition begins.
Toodles for now.
