Cancun (part 1) - Dec 18

Caught a 4.5 hour cab back to Havana today (was the only way to have enabled me to spend an extra day in Trinidad), shared the cab with an Argentinian and a Spanish guy. There was a really great moment where we were all singing along to Bob Marley's Buffallo Soldier as we cruised down the highway.

Made it to the airport at 12 on the dot .. the taxi driver made me pay him in the car rental area and in secret ..

Had a short flight to Cancun .. Feels good to be back in Mexico.. Cancun is not what I expected, was imagining high rise after high rise next to the beach (similar to the Gold Coast), it is more like mega hotels .. Massive big things the size of a city block .. spread out along the thin strip of land between the Carribean and an inland lagoon. 

Wanted to go to Chichen Itza tonight, so that I could be there nice and early tomorrow morning and avoid the hoardes. However the bus station was soo crazy busy and I soo exhausted I decided to book myself onto a morning tour and stay the night in the hotel across the road from the bus station here in Cancun.
