I left Kelowna slighty intoxicated (thanks guys for the awesome farewell!) on a 12 hour overnight Greyhound to Seattle. I stayed with a friend of a friend Beccy for the night then flew to Mexico the next day.
The flight was fairly uneventful and I arrived at Cancun airport at about 8pm. Stepping outside I was greeted by numerous scamartists trying to sell me over inflated modes of transport to downtown Cancun. My Spanish skills were non existent but I managed to get myself on a cheap bus and find the hostel I booked. I met a pommie bloke at the bus station and we went out for some cheap tacos (70c) and a few cervezas! It is unbelievably hot here, must hit over 40C most days and its humid as well so its unbearable at times!
Spent the next 2 days exploring downtown Cancun which is very Mexican unlike the Zona Hotella where all the American tourists stay on their packaged holidays. We checked out the hotel zone and it was very disappointing. The whole area is set up for tourists, not my scene.
Met a good group of people at the hostel and played some drinking games. A couple of Aussies but mainly European travellers!
