Cancun, Mexico

After a long journey leaving us tired, confused and irritable, we arrived in Cancun on Tuesday. We've taken a few days to chill out, smooth off the roughest edges of jet lag, and get ready for Mexico City and meeting our friends.

On day 1, after a beautiful afternoon spent at the beach, we jumped on a bus back to downtown, which quickly became ram-packed. We exchanged nervous glances and wondered how we would squeeze past when our stop arrived.

25 minutes later: "okay Reka, let's get off here".
"I can't".

After the second stop we failed to get off at, I helpfully suggested that she "push a bit more". "I don't think you understand the laws of physics" came the hissed reply. The distance between stops was increasing, and (absurdly) we were still on the bus.

Finally, somewhere in the outskirts of the city we managed to exit the bus, feeling pretty chastened, and took a taxi back to our airbnb. We took on the public transport system and lost.

Anyway other than that it's been really lovely, we've eaten & drunk very well, and we're all fueled up for our next stop!
