Cancun

We weren’t going to go to Mexico at all but it worked out about the same price to have two nights in Cancun as it did to spend 12 hours in a random airport. So hey, why not.

We hired a really epic little apartment overlooking the beach and spent two nights and one day there with Guy and Emma. We knew going in that Cancun was average; it is pretty much just resort after resort lining the beach – not at all what Mexico really is. But we actually had a really fun time. We spent our time making antipasto platters, drinking, and swimming in the INSANELY blue water.

Our first night there we planned to go check out the town but ended up just getting really drunk in the apartment and singing power ballads before we got a stern knock at the door from an angry neighbour and went to sleep = success.
The next day we walked along the beach, got an epic burrito, and chilled. That night we took Guy and Emma out for dinner as their engagement present. The food was ok but there was a classic mariachi band and it was nice to do something semi-fancy.

Scott and I were off super early the next day to LA. So yeh, a short and pretty sweet visit to a nice enough part of Mexico I won’t be visiting again. It was exactly as we expected – a fun/funny/relaxing way to end our South and Central American trip.
