Playa Del Carmen

📌 An eventful flight and some annoying customer service in Paris was put behind us once we landed in Cancun. The weather was warm, the vibes were up, the hotel was great and we were keen to eat fresh flavourful cuisine! We arrived late and headed out for dinner, a trendy tacqueria caught our eye and it really hit the spot. If this was where the bar sat for our next 6 weeks, we were in for a treat!

📌 The weather was perfect for our time spent there, a walk along the beautiful beach was lovely, something we hadn't done for a long time. We continued to eat great food, including an amazing lunch at this "slow food" restaurant making everything from scratch, my saucy drowned baguette was incredible. We even managed to stumble across a Christmas market on our way to dinner which was going off.

📌 Our final full day involved a trip to the world wonder, Chichen Itza. This would be the beginning of our Mayan journey and it was a very fascinating place, with stories of sacrifice and tradition capturing our imagination. It was definitely worth visiting, it wasn't super busy and the history is incomprehensible to us. That evening we headed a little off the track to find a more local cantina, the place was a little intimidating at first but we had a laugh and managed to get by with some limited Spanish and translation, the staff were friendly and the food of course was delicious 😋Lue lisää
