Viva Mexico, Second part: trip in Cancun and Isla Mujeres

 

Arrival in Cancun

A board of a collective agreement with the suitcases and the follow we move from Tulum to Playa del Carmen and from there climbed aboard another collective we head towards Cancun. Unfortunately there is no 'direct a team that brings you from Tulum to Cancun, we must inevitably change in Playa. We arrive in the old city 'of Cancun, here we take a taxi that takes us to our hotel. Going old Cancun, a city can be seen 'working much but at the same time you can see many tramps on street corners, houses not just the maximum of life, all at once and' as if there were an invisible wall and begins hotelera area, begins to blow the most luxurious' unbridled. The area hotelera not 'nothing but 24 km of road where you will find only luxury hotels, resort, spa to 4 / 5 stars, palm trees, greenery, fountains, shopping centers with high fashion brands, restaurants , outdoor discos ... really seems to be in Miami or Los Angeles. Here we move beyond that with the dear taxi, by bus as I previously told. The Mexicans complain much of this "zone hotelera" as very luxurious, very "Americanization" in all of real Messico of civilizations' Maya's' little to say nothing;
It must be said that the Mexican government has determined that in hotels can 'be taken only Mexican staff, so' doing many of them can easily find a 'jobs and therefore a gain. Our hotel 'recognizable at a distance, behind it and the' been erected long ago a huge pole that supports a similar huge Mexican flag, a feeling absurd raise the nose upwards' and see and hear this flag waving . From now admire the beauty of our hotel CASA IMPERIAL MAYA and just compliment me on my tour operator staff (SeleneJJJ) for the choice. After the usual procedures for entry to go up to the reception room 7mo plan in 1722. The forces that I had not had so many, I was definitely a fever, but when I opened the door of the room I was there, large lounge with sofas, television, balcony, kitchen all set, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, table 4 very comfortable , super bath and then the final touch and 'was undoubtedly the room, not so much for beauty as for the view that we had. Open the curtains below us and the beach and Caribbean Sea in the distance they could see Isla Mujeres ... even what to ask for more '! Unfortunately for me happiness' is short as I could hardly stand and I read it on deckchairs. Selene alone was strong discomfort, so he wanted to get off the beach but 'left them all the time' with me to "look after". Virtually sleep from 17 until 7 the next morning!

Isla Mujeres

Fortunately the next morning things seem to go a little 'better, a little' weak but not sure how the previous day. After the fear and then, just breakfast and immediately go out from the direction of Porto Juarez. From this fact, there are daily ferries to Isla Mujeres goal for this day. The crossing takes about 20 minutes. All we had spoken well of the island, and indeed 'very beautiful and special, but truly' expected more '. Just fell from the boat immediately accepted to do a tour with a small spear you allowed with $ 20 per person for snorkeling, lunch of fish in a restaurant on the island and even from a distance see the dolphins and a temibilissimo "tiburon "... to put it in Italian ... a shark. We accept and we are again at sea. The tour and 'very nice, the backgrounds of many fish populations of any size and color are finally admired the dolphins and sharks, as we pause from the program in a hut for lunch. Made the necessary photos and ritual seen a mini turtle aquarium with various processes of growth, we return to port, where we rented a motor car for 2 people, like those used in golf courses. Begin to turn the island and come up to Garrafón, but where you have to 'pay attention to a particular, and the Garrafón' wildlife park where you can dive and see an infinite 'of fish, and the difference' that the entry to the park costs about $ 50. Just before you find a private beach that at the modest figure of $ 4 will allow you 'to see the same things in the park, do not tell you what was under water, a world of fish, everything' went to our advantage, with the underwater camera was indeed a pleasure to stay in water to photograph a show of its kind so that Selene was almost frightening because 'it is found almost as if it were surrounded in a small tank with 100 fish, very exciting. Returning to port we enjoyed a sunset very romantic and full of color. Let us return to Cancun. We must prepare to toast the new year, our very simple, dinner in a restaurant with fish, very close to Plaza Forum, a place perhaps more 'bustling Cancun. In fact this area you can find the Hard Rock Cafe ', the Coco Bongo, 6 / 7 Discos / local all' open, almost attached to the other, which at midnight on the dot is given to race son who had almost the choreography more 'nice to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Music, confetti, whistles, and tric trac, trumpets ... all and more 'seemed to be at the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

THE BEST WISHES FOR AN HAPPY YEAR ... TODAY ONLY RELAX ..

First day of relaxation of the more 'total. In this day of celebration indeed, many attractions are closed and move to the street and practically impossible given the go-go of people, then we decide to stay at the hotel under our umbrella personal style hut in fact want to take a little' color then die of envy to all our friends to our return to Italy. In the evening we decide to go and take a trip to Cancun to La Isla shopping center. More 'than a shopping mall seems to be a truly small town super chic, with bridges, streams and many shops, all the best brands' the famous and prestigious you can find here, Nike, Lacoste, Cartier, Rolex and so on ... After shopping we decide to go back to the hotel but with 'the customary time of 10 minutes, which is useful for at least a little cool' environment.
