Again we get a 2nd class bus to Cancun staright from the ruins, we catch the bus at 2.30pm ns it didn´t arrive until 9pmish, joys of the 2nd class bus and no toilet.
We couldn´t find the hostel we planned on staying in, but thnkfully there are loads and we plumb for the Weary Travller, apt.
We expected Cancun to be very western and very touristy, but this is not what we got, admittedly we where staying in the hostel are rather than the hotel part, but still expected touristy.
We spent the next couple of days lazying and recouping, washing clothes watching movies etc. Posted a couple of packages home, costed about 15 pounds. One werid thing is that the Cancun post offices are painted bright pink and green.
The third day we took a small mini bus, the local bus to the port and took the locals ferry to th near Island and spent the day there. The Island is small but quite nice, we walked to the end where we found th Coconut beach, quite nice lots of white sand and warm sea, lthough the beach area is small and crowded. The boat trip over was brillant we got to see the beautiful coloured sea, very different from the rest of our trip so far. We have a delicious meal on the Island, we have an Italian we both have pasta, so nice to have a proper meal.
