    Day 1

    Frankfurt Airport

    May 1, 2021 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Early morning trip... small misunderstandings and unforeseen circumstances have left us running in and around the airport covered in sweat - but now I’m here. Gate 84. Boarding will start soon.

    Helppppp. I think I’m gonna throw up.    Read more

    Day 1

    ¡Bienvenidos a Cancún! 1ero apartmento

    May 1, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 32 °C

    Such a great, great flight! Alcohol for free, nice people around me, super cool vibes. Only because I got upgraded to economy premium class, hell yeah. Perfect! What a nice coincidence.
    One stewardess in the middle of the flight: Ah, yeah I see, you’re the funny row in this plane, aren’t you?
    Carl got a taxi to get me... thank you 🧡 the Taxi driver was trying to teach us a Spanish tongue twister: tres tristes tigres tragavam... something like this but a little longer...
    I’m honestly really tired, I guess it’s proper Jetlag, been awake for 20 hours straight already but we’re going out now to fight it.
    Found a great bar - they didn’t accept card transactions and we didn’t have Mexican Pesos yet... good that the world is full of good people. Eleandro and Vanessa invited us to sit with them and it became a really great first evening with Salsa lessons, cerveza with fresh lemon and broken Spanish/English communication skills. 🤩🤩🤩
    The neighborhood is not really sketchy but not so great either to be honest but it’s gonna be alright, we’re thinking of going to Tulum earlier. Let’s see!    Read more

    Day 2

    Playa Delfines

    May 2, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Gooood morning... at 4:40h. Jetlag is hopefully gonna be wearing off soon!
    We ate weird put together breakfast, went to the money exchange store (the rate is around 22 something) and took a Uber to Playa Delfines in the Zone Hoteliera.
    PRO TIP: take the ADO bus from the airport too... the taxis outside are wayyy too expensive.
    Beachvibes. Laying under a shady hut, going into the beautiful turquoise water - an amazingly chill experience. Then we played some volleyball, drank and ate something at a small beach bar. I read a book in the shade for a while, went into the water again and met some other people to play volleyball with. They’re staying in an all-inclusive resort for 200 USD per night and said that’s kinda cheap: felt like living in a different world...
    I got this weird sunburn on my left arm, still tryna find out how that happened...
    First real Ceviche and Tacos in Mexico. I didn’t like the Tacos Arabe too much but the ones with fish were just fantastic. Sooo darn delicious.
    Good night! First day is done 🤩☀️    Read more

    Day 3

    Downtown Cancún

    May 3, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Cancún knowledge bragging: the zona hotelieras 15 miles of sand is in the shape of a 7. Yeah, that’s it actually...

    Today was a trip planning day, I sat in front of the laptop for 5 hours straight trying to figure out where we go next, what to do there and more stuff. Don’t know how it worked out to be honest but we’re gonna find out the next few days and weeks.
    We went out for lunch (combo menu ca 80pesos, Horchata, Pescadillas, Taco and Ceviche) and found a nice local restaurant “las pecadillas” next to las palapas. That’s a big market stand thingy - I think we’re gonna go there another evening to find out what the fuss is about :)
    After doing some more planning stuff we went for a stroll to find out in what kind of area we’re actually living but Cancún is pretty boring to be honest. Even when asking the Uber drivers what to do around here they only recommended some restaurants going to the beach with beer... sounds nice but I was actually expecting more adventurous stuff to do.
    So the neighborhoud seems kinda artsy and there’s cute restaurants around in every corner but the best part was to stand in front of a Flamboyán tree (which conveniently is the name of the street we’re living in) and having a dog bark at us... you ask yourself why? Because then this dude came out of the house and just showed us around the neighborhood. He told us what to do, let me pet his very, very, very shy dog (definitely the best part: beautiful mix) and invited us over for beer tomorrow.
    After that I went grocery shopping: ALONE! First time walking out all alone without Carl next to me. Feels weirder than doing it in Germany but it’s gonna be alright, I just have to get used to it.
    I can recommend Coco on Disney+ - it’s really good and colourful. Unfortunately English subtitles are a must for me :(    Read more

    Day 4

    Exploring

    May 4, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Exploring the city, finding an Iguana, seeing cactuses randomly chilling in the shade - so different so “beautiful”. Today we went to another beach: playa Marlin. I liked playa Delfines more! But we played Volleyball with some people and one of them did frontflips when running into the water. So cool!!
    Dinner at Parque las Palazas which everybody was going into raptures about - not worth it, though 3 tacos cost 40pesos... but not really good.
    I cried for the last 20 minutes of Coco because it was just so beautiful.    Read more

    Day 5

    Fleamarket and disneyworld feelings...

    May 5, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    ¡Hola amigos! My day trip to Boulevard Kukulkán was kinda worth it. I’m not really into this big hotel zone feeling where everything costs more than one poor Mexican person earns a day but I kinda like to respond “no gracias. solo mirar” to everyone on the flea market. My beach day at playa mandala tho... that one was great - even more beautiful than playa delfines. Almost the famous Tulum feeling with that rock in the water. And when I talked to 3 young Mexicans for 30 minutes with a looooot of gestures, google translate and un poquito bit of knowledge I was so happy I did a tiktok with them :) now I have two more Instagram followers ajajaja😂
    The restaurant we went to for dinner the Ceviche was delicious! Afterwards we got up, danced a bit of Salsa in the restaurant - between the tables :) like everyone does... 😍😍 the party we wanted to go to hadn’t started when we got there so we took off... hmm. Next time it’s gonna work out better :)    Read more

    Day 6

    Puerto Morelos

    May 6, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    ¡Aiii karamba! What a nice day :)
    Took the ADO bus (36pesos for a 40minutes ride) to Puerto Morelos. It was announced as a cute fishing village and worth the visit when one is overwhelmed by all the tourists in Cancún. So: damn right. I wasn’t really into it while walking through the streets but once I got to the beach I was so, so, so happy. I guess I’ll go back there tomorrow to see the rays and light tower that the German family I met there (and played with) has told me about. It was a fantastic day! I took a Colectivo back home and had a nice talk with the driver (who apparently was in shock cause he loves Germany so much) and with the guy who picked me up on the street and showed me where to go. Regards to Orlando (Bloom) from Acapulco. ☀️☀️
    But every great day must come to an end and my end came the moment I took a shower and realized how sunburnt I was. So I took a painkiller to get over the worst sunburn I have ever had.... probably the 4th painkiller I have ever taken in my whole life.    Read more

    Day 7

    Puerto Morelos & clubbing

    May 7, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Daytrip to Puerto Moreles again. Taking a Colectivo is way nicer than taking an ADO bus. Carl and I both got stomach upset quite fast in the big bus... Puerto Moreles is famous for its leaning light tower and the rays that swim under the dock of the harbour, now that I‘ve seen both I‘d still wanna go back there :) my book is sooooo good, but unfortunately it became a bit wet... I’m learning a lot about Mexico in the 30s through it. Carl went snorkeling for 200pesos and I was so smart not to do so... the videos on the GoPro really seem worth it, I gotta download those and put them up here.
    I returned home a bit later because he had to work - so I got in a Colectivo at the station. There were 14 seats and all of them taken, so I had to sit backwards on a water tank and a few minutes later the driver stopped to let 4 more people get in. One squeezing next to me and three standing in between the seats...
    Risotto with Chorizo for dinner and getting pre drunk to go to a (now I know) high society club. I shuffled and danced the night away. Pretty great experience, lots of fun, many nice people and free drinks for me 🤩🤫
    I didn’t wanna walk home but take a Uber to be safe - but at 3 am my minds not as straight as it is in the daylight so I just walked along with Carl and it all went alright.    Read more

    Day 8

    Cancún -> Isla Mujeres

    May 8, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Still kinda tipsy and happy from last night :)
    We packed our backpacks early in the morning to catch the „bus azul“ to leave to Puerto Júarez ... where the tickets to Isla Mujeres were supposedly more pricier than anyplace else... didn’t really work out... we had to book a ferry for 20 US Dollars for a round trip with live music to get there... argggggh, still need to get rid of my anger :) at the puerto a father son duo actually let us hitchhike on their golfcart to our apartment which was quite far away from the town center. Such a beautiful island, many pretty murals, colourful houses, ocean view from almost everywhere in 5-minute walk distance and the Air B‘n‘B 😍😍 90 US Dollars for 2 nights but with a pool... :/) and bikes!! Which we took to the beach to swim in paradise with Yachts all around and vibing to the music of a DJ.Read more

    Day 9

    Playa Norte

    May 9, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

    Everybody’s so nice and I’m just sooooooo, so happy here. The island is really, really beautiful, though we didn’t even visit it correctly, definitely need to come back here, my absolute favorite!!! Music, drinks, people, turquoise water, fun and love - what movies are made of!! Our Portuguese friends from the club visited us for the day - so looking forward to seeing these guys again some time. :) Fun day, will keep it in my memory!! I realized I don’t have to be afraid to travel alone, today it came to me - there’s always people I wanna hang out with and get to know. I feel like an adult now, a proper one :)
    Honestly - I could stay here and not come back till Germany and everything else is normal again...    Read more
