Cancun

Cancun is a new City. Up to 1970 there was a coconut plantation and over the next few years the city was established to support the tourist industry

We have spent our few days in Cancun but have done very little. Our first stop was at a luxury all inclusive beach resort where we relaxed and enjoyed the cocktails and restaurants. Even the mini bar was included but who needs a mini bar when there are beach bars, a lobby bar and swim up bars. By the time we left for our downtown hotel we needed a rest!

Our second hotel was much quieter and we spent lots of time recovering. We found a Laundromat and by the time we left we were more relaxed and totally up to date...except this blog that has been delayed in Cuba.

                                                    At the beach just before dusk.

                                                     Very pleasant setting.

                                                 A Pirate ship sits in the harbour!

                                                      Gail...or is it Ruth the Pirate

                                               A Party boat heads out

We had planned to visit another Maya archaeological site but we needed our break. The vagaries of our travel plans have us back in Cancun for another 2 days but we will be trying our third hotel.

We were up at 4.00 AM for our shuttle to the airport and our early flight to Havana via Mexico City. Lots of time flying for such a short distance gained! We are now enjoying Cuban life and looking forward to our Cuban adventure.
