Sarah's Central American Adventure: Touch down cancun......

Arrived in one piece after an interesting transfer with a driver who spoke only in Spanish and who seemed to be asking us for directions! Anyhow after 1 1/2 hours we finally have found our hostel which is really cute and quiet and worlds away from the mass of monstrous hotels which greeted us a we left the airport. Kinda glad we've already left the 'tourist trap' behind so soon after arriving as it was a little overwhelming to have travelled so far and within 10 minutes passed a maccy d's an dominos pizza! That said the sea is beautiful and picture perfect more so than I'd imagined. On arriving at the hostel we were offered a shared dinner of traditional Mexican food so we jumped on that.....not sure what tin it's served but I'm looking forward to it. Two nights stay with breakfast and dinner has cost the grand total of $23 which can't be faulted. The place is super basic however and I already lost out on the bottom bunk to Ceri.... Here's to hoping I have a restful nights sleep and don't fall out of my bunk which has no sides!

I've not the first idea where I am in relation to anywhere but sure once we get chattin to some of the other guests we'll be able to work it out.

We've both agreed that we are going to stick with our original plan of staying in Mexico untill Monday before making tracks into Belize. Plan to visit Chichen Itza whilst we're here and other than that just chill an acclimatise to this heat! It's so hot right now I feel like I'm sat in a pizza oven! Feels a bit strange as its now 10pm uk time and we've been up since 6am but going to try to fight it an stay awake as late as poss as its only 4pm Cancun time.

Animal update: there's a spaniel at the hostel who looks just like our Alfie!

Ceris efforts to reassure me she was well prepared for when we got off the plane.... In her defence having the Spanish for 'how do we get to....' Written on her hand worked a treat!
