• Cancun day 2

    December 22, 2024 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Thanks to the jet lag we were already around 5:30 in the morning awake. We left the accommodation around 7 and walked to nearby cafe. It was still dark outside and we were the first customers. After breakfast we took the bus R2 all the way till Playa Delfines🐬 ~ very beautiful, wide and local beach with 0 bars. Very early in the morning beach was still empty and clouds were not promising any good weather. Luck was on our side and we were later on granted with amazing weather, sunshine and swim in Caribbean Sea 🌊.

    After many hours of chilling we took bus back. Instead of driving directly all the way to Cancun Downtown we stopped in the party area and checked out the local beach Playa Gaviota Azula which Flo liked better as there were not such a big waves as in Playa Delfines. Punta Cancún reminded us of Vegas ~ shows, clubs, beach clubs, alcohol and big crowds. It was interesting to see all the sides of Cancun but we are happy with our decision to stay in the center, which is more local.

    The 3rd bus ride back to city was never ending as there was a traffic jam. Bus ride costs here less then 0,5€ and you can drive as long as you need! On the other hand taxis are quite expensive. Back in the hotel we got ready for dinner and left direction Park de las Palapas ~ huge park full with people, life music and street food. We got amazing dinner for just 12€ and then walked through party street till the town hall. The square infront of the town hall had the craziest Christmas lights installed and there was even a huge Latino open air party 😍 Flo didn’t want to dance so I danced with some locals 🤣. We came back home quite early and were super happy and tired. Cancun downtown has a great vibe and friendly locals.
