Hostel - Mayab

Day 1: The day started off chaotic when me and Beth managed to miss our ADO bus to the ferry port, causing us to have to sit in the bus station for a couple of hours to wait for the next one. Luckily we got the ferry before it was dark and arrived in Holbox. We checked into the room when we finally found the woman from reception and then went off to go and meet Sarah and Betty who were also on Holbox at the same time!! We went for drinks at a couple of bars, had a drunken photo shoot with the Holbox sign and then called it a night!

Day 2: Today we walked out to a sand bank called Mosquito that you can only get too be wading through the ocean until you can finally walk along the sand banks! It was beautiful and the water was amazingly clear. It’s also famous for kite surfing which was fun to watch on the long walk. We hung out and sunbathed with the Holbox gals until the sea came in and we decided to walk back before we had to swim back 😂
We went on a walking tour with the beautiful Nadal and learnt a lot of interesting stuff about the island. He took us to watch the sunset and then we headed to hot corner, a bar that everyone hangs outside off with beers from the local shop.

Day 3: Today Me, Beth, Betty, Sarah, Stefanie and Nicola hired a boat that took us out to some different areas of the island, we went bird watching, to a view point, saw dolphins and went to a cenote where we bumped into a local crocodile 👀 When we got back to the main area of Holbox, Me, Beth, Betty and Sarah walked to a different beach to have a beer and watch the sunset. We ate some street food while watching Nadal and his friends play basketball at the local court!

Day 4:Today we found a local dog shelter where you can walk the homeless dogs for a few hours. Beth’s dog wouldn’t walk to we just ended up with Sammy. Bought him some chicken and a whole pack of ham and he threw up on the way home 😅 ALSO mine and Beth’s room flooded and the guy from downstairs came up and started kicking off about the electrics. Reception did nothing and we just had a puddle in the middle of our room for the next few days 😂

Day 5: Today was our last day chilling on Holbox! We had a beach day and then went for a nice meal and swapped valentines gifts! I received a crocodile magnet and some CIDER 😍

Day 6: Today Me, Beth, Betty and Sarah caught the morning ferry back to the port and jumped on the bus back to Cancun for the night!Lue lisää
