E 'come the day of our departure for Mexico, we get up early in the morning because our flight leaves from Malpensa Livingston alle ore 10.50 (took 2 hours and a half late pero')
The flight makes a stop in Rome and nearly starting at 15.30 in the afternoon, lasts 12 hours! Livingston planes are quite comfortable but the food is very poor and mainly distributed in quantita 'low for a flight to so' many hours, time seems to pass ever, two films are projected, quite uncomfortable viewing, not the seats equipped with personal monitors.
Finally landed at 20:35 in
Cancun: the beautiful, full of light, extends below us and it can be seen immediately in the thin strip is the area where American Hotelera, separate from the city 'from a lagoon. Formalities' are very quickly and get good fortune to the customs for the semaphore is ..... green, then we can go (eh si, there are spot checks, if the red light goes out .... open bag !!!); coaches ahead of us in the sorting resort ...... Meanwhile, we know the Carrettera Federal, which will be 'our point of reference for the holiday, as is the cornerstone of viability' of the Riviera Maya.
Arrived at the company trying to come into our room, 4126! The
Maya Beach is a beautiful resort but it is huge, almost a country (is divided into
Maya Beach, Maya Caribe, Maya Maya Colonial and Tropical) and just six entries very disoriented, you do not know how to deploy to the various zone.Comunque ce la facciamo and fall exhausted on the bed ... we are on the go from almost 24 hours.
The next morning we sling on the beach and admiring the beautiful bay where the complex and Caribe Beach while the other two have a bay separately. To be honest I was expecting a sea piu 'bello: in some places the sand seems to slime and sinks, is not a nice feeling but most just go' forward in the sea. Unfortunately, we understand very soon that the time is not the best during the afternoon rains always more we can not 'go on the beach: this will be the leit motive of the holiday ... water ... water ... water at any time in each intensity '.
The following day during the morning because we remain in the room 'when it rains in the afternoon take advantage of the free trip to
Cancun Sprintour for shopping (so much rain!)
The next day we waited to tour the beautiful Tulum and Playa Paraiso but just look at the sky, which of course does not promise anything good to draw the conclusioni.La guide Azbekal (????) during the transfer told us many things and curiosity 'about Maya ... I do not see the hour to arrive, the photo with Castillo on the sea has always been my best wishes' remote. Unfortunately, upon arrival at the sea, close to the walls of the entry has been unleashed on putiferio: water catinelle! Well, we have taken in order not to laugh cry .... lasted at least twenty minutes, I leave you to imagine the Our pitiful state, instead of swimming in Castillo I swim in my Nike (for the record, on Friday were dry Monday night .... in the air conditioning and hair dryer!) The visit is not possible to continue, or better We repaired as we could under the big tree that leads to the Castillo ... water down a river ..... the way to the parking lot was flooded, flooded the parking lot ... all day and continued well even at night, the day after we were all very much killed ... I leave you to imagine ...
Thinking that we had Isla Mujeres by catamaran! We assessed even waive it to more intensive, being at sea with this time is quite nice and safe .... Instead the landing just arrived in
Cancun has a warm head sun and when the catamaran Sea Passion Party is ... has opened a beautiful morning! .
They took us to snorkel near a lighthouse, I forgot to ask the exact area pero '... below is admired a lot of barracuda and beautiful fish, although the current was clearly perceptible and should be careful not to depart from the group .
I arrived on Sunday and George have decided to visit Xel-ha, who really just wanted a lot.
At the park you can choose two options: either one base or all-inclusive, ie food, beverages, lockers, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, safety jackets. Remain outside the bathroom with the dolphins (about $ 100 a head!, But I think it would be worth) that you see in their tanks just entered: that beautiful! that tenderness! you are just willing to come and play with them. And then ........ miracle! This came a sun splitting the stones! The lagoon is too beautiful and then we just throw in discovering words have we done about 5 hours of snorkeling, we will turn us all far and wide. There are lots of rocks and lots of fish, parrot fish ......... that will cross the eye and 6 / 7 kg. of their giant groupers and even then under the piers, as the food available to throw fish, there are still walls to fish where you can dive in the truest sense of the meeting parola.Ma most 'beautiful we did un'ansa in the lagoon where no ce'ra anyone, rather deep water while swimming and I see Beneath me get a breed | Virtually us thrown out of Xel-ha closed while ...
On Monday morning we wake up with a beautiful sun and then we decide to proceed to another of our dreams: swimming in cenote. Across the front of the Barcelo Carrettera 'there are some and we have therefore directed towards this area. Two cenotes are open and there is also a cave sealed with stalactites and stalagmites that must be reached by kayak, we decide to stay outdoors and in the thick vegetation we head to the first cenote, Kantun Chi.
As soon as I saw him I was speechless .... it is a wonder of nature do not feel even more 'the stings of insects and I jumped in the water (cold !!!!) in a nanosecond. Unfortunately for me (ihhhh!) I had the mask and I put just under the head I saw the chasm that opened, that impression Aiutoooo! Slowly I directed towards the center, seemingly suspended in air to swim so much 'water is transparent, the below is quite disturbing, there are huge slabs of rock and holes without a funnel end but have a charm that you can not forget ..... I just read the exit sign and I understood that under I had 11 meters of water ... bon, thank goodness that I have not read before, with good peace of my heart! The other cenote is reachable by another 5-minute walk in the dense vegetation and is''only''7 meters of depth ', this beautiful, more' illuminated by the sun and the water is blue, it is said Cenote Azul or Agua Transparente.
Barcelo come to this resort is truly a paradise, has everything you need to maintain the best guests in the living room for 7 days. are also included two dinners in the restaurant Mexican restaurant and Spanish, as well as the ability 'to use all the bars, swimming pools, restaurants, entertainment complex that frankly we have not turned in full.
Of course, starting from
Cancun with 2 hours late .... I discover with happiness' that the return trip takes 10 hours, in less than two to same.
Now I only have a great desire to run home, shame ..... for the time, we can only imagine how it would have been a week of sunshine and blue sky .... well, we can always sing like Mariachi:
Ay ay ay ay canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito Lindo, los corazones
Hasta Luego, Mexico!
