GAP

We got tired of Isla Mujeres (still good during the nights but beware of drunk Mexicans ) and went back to Cancun with Janis. He went on the same day to Playa del Carmen and so it was Micke and I left. We stayed at a different hostel every night because as we didn´t have reservatuons, you kind of had to take what you were offered.
We had a pretty good night, went out pubing wiht a guy named Alex from Canada. Anyway, I won´t get into details but it all ended up with alot of walking and quite a few beers. Also we almost got arrested by the cops but they finally decided to let us off the hook scott free! Didn´t even have to bribe them (although they wanted us to).
That was one hell of a night. Definetly one of the top nights in Cancun/Isla Mujeres.
But it marks the end of an era. We are now taking a break from the REAL backpackers life and unloading part of the responsibility onto someone else. We joined up with the GAP tour beacause after calculations back home we figured we would be benefited by all the discounts that come with group travel but still we could do whatever we wanted during the days and nights. We´ve kind of locked us up only on the accomodation and travel part. Anyway, so we´re going to travel with a group now, from Mexico all the way down to Costa Rica through Belize, Guatamala and Nicaragua. The group turned out to be allright. Most are between 25 and 35 years old although there is a couple that is around 50 (but they seem to have good spirit to travel). And so today we jumped on to a bus and headed down to Playa del Carmen, another city like Cancun (read lots of tourists). And it really turned out to be exactly that. Beautiful beaches, but way to expensive and WAY to many toursits (ironic isn´t it that I am complaining considering I am one of them). Well, I can´t wait to get to Belize, with it´s Jamaica feel and great diving (the Blue Hole). And yeah. We figured we´re going to save our money for the Blue hole instead of diving in Mexico. Hopefully the dining in Belize is as good as people say it is.
Thats all for now friends!
Godspeed!
