SAN IGNACIO I.II.VII.II – DAY TWO 28/09/22 Something I failed to mention about Roy is that he doesn’t swim. After two swimming-related deaths in his family, he’s remained apprehensive about swimming in areas where his feet don’t touch ground – rightfully so. Which meant we’d spend our penultimate day together apart, having had already booked a tour to the Actun […]
I.I.XI.I – Chetumal: Day One & Two
CHETUMAL I.I.XI.I – DAY ONE & TWO 07/09/22 & 08/09/22 One last comfortable bus ride later and there I was, in my final destination in Mexico, the city bordering Belize – Chetumal. I gotta admit, I wasn’t quite ready for it. Getting to Chetumal meant I’d be leaving Mexico, and whilst usually that would mean it’d go back home and […]
I.I.X.II – Tulum: Day Two
TULUM I.I.X.II – DAY TWO 06/09/22 The next day, I found myself on yet another unplanned tour suggested by a local who worked at a restaurant I dined in. A beaten down minivan picked me up in front of the travel agency, along with three other Dutch guys who’d be joining the tour. After being dropped off in the middle […]
I.I.X.I – Tulum: Day One
TULUM I.I.X.I – DAY ONE 05/09/22 A couple of hours on a bus (no more limos) took me to yet another destination – Tulum. Once again, I knew my time here would prove too short to actually do everything, and so I had to prioritise. I stayed in the residential area and forewent the resort zone, which, in all honesty, […]
I.I.IX.I – Playa del Carmen: Day One to Three
PLAYA DEL CARMEN I.I.IX.I – DAY ONE TO THREE 02/09/22 – 04/09/22 Turns out, hooking up with a millionaire comes with perks – including a limo ride to my next stop. After getting rid of the stench of greed and money-hunger that oozes from Cancún, I finally moved on to Playa del Carmen; a somewhat toned-down version of the former […]
I.I.VIII.III – Cancún: Day Four To Six
CANCÚN I.I.VIII.III – DAY FOUR TO SIX 30/08/22 – 01/09/22 I spent the rest of days in Cancún doing the touristy, ‘must-do’ things. Whilst my original intention was to try and go off the beaten track, I figured things wouldn’t be as touristy if they weren’t cool. Much can be said about that but so far my philosophy seemed to work, […]
I.I.VIII.II – Cancún: Day Three
CANCÚN I.I.VIII.II – DAY THREE 29/08/22 As much as I seemed to dislike the city, it did have some remarkable qualities to it – mainly its vicinity to the old Mayan ruins; a stark contrast between the overly modernized city and the remains of a once powerful civilization. And now, I’d be embarking on yet an archaeological day-tour. First off […]
