Cancun

Sundowner cocktails overlooking the lagoon

As always for me, leaving Colombia was sad (I get so attached!)....thankfully seeing the Mexican coastline cheered me up immensely! Wow. Sorry Zanzibar, but Cancun now has the best beaches I've ever seen. The water was such a beautiful colour and the sand so soft.

Blissful beauty

Cancun felt like Dubai meets the US. Everything was modern, nicely landscaped and set up well. Shopping malls with designer shops sat next to big hotels. Lush for a few days, but didn't feel very authentically Mexican!

It was a nice base for a few days sightseeing and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the final of the world cup and relaxing on the beach...sipping cocktails and other Mexican bevvy delicacies, and getting rid of any stiffness post hike!

We stayed between the lagoon and beach, and had a ten minute walk or so back to our house. I was very excited to see the sign below, and would always pause, or have a sit down on the bridges and have a good look! Sadly, I didn't spot any....guess I'll have to go back!
