Landing in Cancun on Thursday we had a pretty good night in Haina Hostel, marred only by Debs being seriously munched by bed bugs (that´s 2 insect attacks already). The manager wasn´t particularly concerned when informed...So on Friday we got the hell outta Cancun (thanks for the suggestion, Karl) and took a short bus and ferry trip to the island, where we´ve been getting horribly sunburnt ever since.
Highlights so far: the food! 1000% better than the Cuban crap, but possibly a little too Tex Mex at this stage... Also - snorkelling today at Hotel Garafon de Castilla on the south end of the island. The best bit about this was the setup - including lockers so we could stash our valuables and frolic with the fish together.
And you should see pelicans in action - they zoom around then dive-bomb the shallows really hard. Poor fish...
Tomorrow we´re off to Merida, the capital of Yucatan, for a couple of days, then down to Campeche before heading into Chiapas for some serious danger/fun, depending on whether you believe the FCO, or our waiter, Cesar.

So you missed good ole' Fidel's birthday today? :)
Looks amazing over there! Me slightly jealous. Slightly extremely utterly. But only slightly extremely utterly so.
Really sorry to hear you didn't like Cuba :( Sounds like the banning of the US dollar hasn't done anyone any favours. It is beautiful though? Sorry accom wasn't any good either :((
glad you are enjoying mexico better. is beautiful too.
missing you both! x

Sounds like a t-shirt "survived cuba". Glad to know you guys are ok. Enjoy the tortillas.
'Ay ay ay canta y no llores' as the mexican say "sing and dont cry".
