Beautiful Cancun

Please Click to enlarge pictures!

I spent a night at How's in Vancouver because my flight is 7am , got to the airport around 5am , had 3 hours sleep- dead tired but excited as hell!! For some reason, I thought this is going to be a wonderful trip esp with Melissa - coz she's a really fun person, mana tau..........

Day 1

I felt asleep in the aircraft even b4 it took off, i think i slept for good three hours until this screaming baby woke me up, he cried n cried for at least an hour!!! gosh!!!

in cancun airport, amazingly the first thing to greet us at the baggages track mills is a DIRTY G-STRING! with white spots, ewwwwwww!!!

Oh my god oh my god so excited!!!! we specially requested for ocean view, and we are generally happy with the view except theres wasnt a balcony.

After dumping everything, we had lunch at the sushi bar by the beach - how cool is that!!! we had two beers, 4 margaritas and were sibeh drunk already!

Dinner that night was at Coba Restaurant - International buffet, food was amazing!!! miss darling so much!!
It was a good night sleep.....with all that margaritas!!

When I told my classmates that the margaritas in Mexico isnt that strong, and they called me an Alcoholic?!?!?!


Day 2

Spent a chillaxing day at the beach for 5 hours the next day! was so roasted.



Day 3

hotel team bergotong-royong moving the tree out early in the morning

Breakfast at Coba Restaurant - first day was yum, 2nd, 3rd day? yuck!
sorry i shouldnt complain


Hanging out at downtown on Sunday - everything was closed.


Man brought in his little radio n sang in the bus to make a buck or two - wonderful vocal though!


Went clubbing that night and u know what happened. Put it this way, is spring break and Cancun is filled with horny teenagers! even the old ones!

Day 4
Wonder around downtown aimlessly and tired-bad day!

Day 5 -
Food poisoning, boo!

went downtown to get medicine and stopped by this beautiful outdoor mall - La Isla


I will so buy the simpson shirt for darling but i completely ran out of cash!!! is only 5$!
soooo regret!

Day 6

Day trip to Chichen Itza

"The massive Kukulcán pyramid called "El Castillo" (the castle) is roughly at the center of the site. Climbing it is quite a challenge and those who make it are rewarded with a spectacular view of the city and surrounding country side. A trip inside the pyramid is quite the opposite. The dark, unbearably humid corridors and chambers are too much for some people.

If you stand facing the foot of the temple and shout the echo comes back as a piercing shriek. Also, a person standing on the top step can speak in a normal voice and be heard by those at ground level for some distance. This quality is also shared by another Mayan pyramid at Tikal." (check out the video at the end for a short demo)




Back in ancient time, only high class ppls get to be cremated after death and their bones were throw into this well, they found lotsa n lotsa of skeletons underneath that well,
i felt the "yum hei" as i was approaching it


Saw 4 newly born puppies by one of the blood sucker gift shop (US$2 for a Popsicle) - visiting Chichen Itza made me realized how fortunate I am and should cherish it, saw small kids and really old woman trying their best to sell handkerchiefs under the cruel sun.


I bought most of my souvenirs from Chichen Itza, coz it was cheap and I got two stone carving from this guy who attracted my attention by yelling "1 dollar, 1 dollar" i was like , NO WAY, for a beautiful stone carving worth 1 dollar? so he got me ....


" 1 mayan dollar maam"
" Mayan dollar? what is that?"
" thats equal to 100 pesos which is 10 USD"
*Pengsang*

after his persistence I bought two from him for $ 6! hehe good bargain eh?

It was super super hot! a lady got sunstroke and fainted.


Men carving under the shade - its a tough life

We went to this lagoon hole to cool off, this hole is beautiful, is 60 meter deep, so basically bottomless, we dove and dove , the water is sooo purified and coooooling! kinda scary coz you dunno whats underneath the water(especially after the well visit), as soon as i dove, i swam up right away, YES! i was the only one with life jacket.

Day 7 -

Went to a Jungle tour, when i said jungle tour, is not what you think hiking in the jungle, but we drove a speed boat through a jungle river to a snorkeling spot - there were 10 speed boats in a line, didnt see much during the snorkeling trip but the journey there n back was pretty exciting! (pictures coming soon)


Went to Dos Lunas, a fine fine Italian gourmet in the hotel - the food was amazing!!!! I only had 3 course meals coz there wasnt any room for desert anymore. There were freshly baked bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, tiger prawns with garlic and butter as antipasti, first course - sparagus prawns (YES i love prawns!), and second course - triple A sirloin with red wine sauce, it was the most tender sirloin i ever tasted!!! then me happy and drunk =) , coz the steak will be tasteless without red wine.

Saying good bye to the hotel
Lobby bar, pools, buddha bar, beach....(please click to enlarge)


Night show by the pool



One thing that I found really strange is - in Mexico you are not suppose to throw toilet paper into the toilet bowl, theres always a basket besides for u to erm dispose after you erm wiped. ewww!! otherwise it will plug the toilet.

Cancun was beautiful, overall i will rate the trip as fair, coz of few incidents that upset me, anyway im back home safely =)

Will definately go back with Darling


heres a video
