Im writing this from Chetumal - a small, not really interesting town on the frontier with Belize, where everyone has to stop over on their way to Guatemala. We are staying at Albion's, a very friendly Mexican guy who already showed us where the best tacos in the town are and introduced us to his friends who made me drink beer together with squeezed lime juice and salt (like tequilla)!!! It was actually not very tasty but they say it makes you feel fresh next day.. I have not been able to access the internet since I arrived in Cancun hence I owe you a short story about how it has been. Cancun did not appeal to me much - it was constructed for tourists in 1960s apparently and the town is divided into La Zona Hotelera where all tourists stay ( and possibly they never leave that area to explore some more) and the town where the Mexicans live. We just took a bus there to see this 'phenomenon' but we came back quick. Isla Mujeres was the other story. Located just a few minutes boat ride from Cancun, it is not crowded with European or American tourusts and it has a nice, very relaxed vibe. And, on top of that, we snorkelled and IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OM MY ENTIRE LIFE..:) Definitely.
What really strikes me is the heat and it actually makes me feel very slow and lazy, so our pace is very relaxed.
The next post will be longer as I have to go now, hasta pronto compañeros!
