Hey everyone,
We’ve made it to Mexico! The journey started with a drive from Norwich to Essex and then several trains to Manchester where we would fly from. We were already knackered from the journey to Manchester before we’d even left the country, luckily Grace’s friend Rob took us in for the night. We had a nice meal and a good nights sleep and a tasty round of egg bacon and avocado on toast to set us up for the morning before Rob drove us to Manchester airport.
We managed to get through the airport with only two minor security issues, top tips we’ve learnt: (1) Security get really angry about taking photos inside of airports and will confiscate your phone to delete them. (2) Security get annoyed if you have water bottles in your bag, even if they are empty. Luckily we were still let on the plane, unluckily 5 minutes before starting our 10 hour flight I was trying to download a podcast and managed to delete all of the music off my phone. It was a long flight.
But the hotel more than made up for it, it’s beautiful! And the poolside cocktails aren’t half bad either, although the highlight of the day had to be trying our very first Tacos in Mexico. We went for pork tacos which came with a selection of salsas, guacamole and sauces, some of which we were warned not to touch as they were very spicy and for locals, so of course we took that as a personal challenge and finished half the pot of the most spicy sauce, and honestly it didn’t turn out as bad as you would think.
This week were planning on catching a bit of sun, watching Mexico play in the world cup at a local bar and swimming with whale sharks if it’s not too expensive and then moving on to Tulum. Ill keep you all updated as we go.
Lots of love,
