Blog!
Five crazy days in cancun!! All inclusive and all you can drink! Sick crowd and amazing staff!
I left feeling like .... I can't even explain but hangover doesn't quite explain how shitty I felt..
Then I went to tulum to see some awesome ruins right on a cliff over looking the carribean!
When I first got there all I cared about was getting back to "normal" I got a room that had a bed and a fan. Lol not exactly cozy.. The fan sounded like a plane was on the roof bu it had to be on . I sweat all night in my boxers. It's soooo hot!!
I cut out after seeing the ruins at about three thirty, and met a cool kid named Sam! We was trying to get thru the border and down to Belize the same night but I was supposed to meet someone in Chetamul the border town on the Mexican side . But it sucked there and Sam would be fun to travel with I went on to crossing the border and we got thru customs pretty easy the bus parks everyone gets off you go thru the check and the bus wait on the other side! And old school bus that is ha ha
We got to corozal which is the bodertown on the Belize side and tried to catch a ferry out to San pedro the north island off of Belize but missed the last one. So we grabbed a hostel type deal and crashed out after actually what turned into a random in expected nigh out on the town with local. This guy kinda scared ms at first not gonna lie ha ha but what ever we have some beers and he smokes a fat joint and says let me take you guys some were cool man! We go quick in the car. I'm like yea let me just watch you smash three beers and smoke a blunt to your face and get in your car ha ha . We told him we'd rathe walk and it Took some convincing. But we end up walking about twenty minutes and after about ten mom I don't see lights, paved roads, can't hear anything I'm like hmmmmm. Ok. Where's this place at man is there gonna be a lot a people? He says no not really man but promise you it will be fun man you lucky I do dis for you, it's rights past the cemetery. lol! Any ways we get there and it accounted to being his "girls " place . Prostitutes expense beers, ugly I mean ugly girls trying hit on you and trying to get you to buy drinks.. Porn on the juke box. Swear to god ha ha !
I wAs starting to think were the hell would a taxi be around here and could I find my way back?
But we made it clear that were not the right candidates for this shit! I told them check it out no disrespect but beers are double price here and I have an absolutely stunning beautiful girlfriend back home so you wanna take us back?
He did and we stopped for some chinease food ha ha and he tried to score on a free meal. Really a decent guy but just a flat out muche and hustler apparently .
So we past out with a full stomach and woke up at 6 to catch the first ferry in the morning to San Pedro!
(by the way mommma your gonna love that island, it could have been my favorite place so far!)
The people are sooo soooo cool! True rasta man, any body will help you and Amy body will shake your hand!
But we met a cool girl named jen and she showed us around for some good eats and we ended up staying on the island which wasn't planned. But Sam liked her and I'm no rush!
Everyone drives gol carts and gets to no you it's just wild! We went out fishin with the kick ass locals on a boat called most high lol! Everyone names there boat! Sam caught a barracuda and the fillaid it and made ceviche for us! Mmmmmmm cooked in lemon and lime !
The night started at the hostel with a game of kings and a local "raper" named smokey joined but he was out after one game ha ha. Light wieght! Then for us the night turned into kareoke ! Ha habgood times ! Ive never embarresed my self so much lol ! After kareoke was Dance party at the end of a Leif and the after party was at my favorite bar big daddies ha ha and the dance club was called wet willies lol
Fun night tho and we jumped in the pool at about four in the morning to call it a night!
We missed the ten thirty shuttle to the small south island which turned out to be kick ass cause we hung out laid in hammoks did some yoga! I like yoga by way I'm gonna start I think :) to top it all off we got a ride in most high to caye caulker the smallest island I've ever been on in my life! You can walk bare foot one side to the other in ten min! It was cool! That first day we were a bit hung over and kinda tired just Sam and I Jen had to go back to work. But Sam and I cruised around got a hostel a really cool hotel actually and then we went for some dinner. Live lobster next to a grill you pick to put it on go sit down and you get a plate of coleslaw rice and garlic bread for ten bucks! Crazy! And tastey ! Did you know the lobsters down here have no claws? Wierd? Yea ha ha
So it was an early first night on the small island, then next day was soooo awesome I woke up took a shower and Sam asked me my plan and I obviously didn't have one cause rarely do I ha ha! But we ended snorkeling the second largest barrier reef in the world!! Beautiful coral and amazing fish and up close and personal with sharks and sting rays!!! Saw on turtle :) it was amazing! I'll ne'er forget it ! For fourty bucks! I had the coolest video underwater of all the big silver fish, sharks, and sting rays but sadly ughhhhh so sadly that's all gone.. Let me tell you. on the Boat ride back they give as munch alcoholic juice punch stuff that you want well I swear we drank 2/3 of a five gallon crystal gyser jug between ten of us but to weren't really drinking and I think you can probably guess who helped out alot :) me!
So we got to the island with a good bus gathered up a good group and went out to do it up bare foot of course !
...... Don't worry I'm getting to the camera ha ha
But we hung out at this bar for a while that was way fun! A rasta band with turtle drums and this is the best part or maybe worst for some ha ha! ( good lookin don't be mad at me ;) ) but the have a square with a hundred numbers with a net around it and you bet on which square the rooster is gonna shit in ha ha ! People go crazy!
Any ways a lil bit later we were sitting on the steps and of a sudden this local guy took off pretty quick and said he'd be right back. I thought it was strange realized inhad just taken a picture and my camera was sitting next me and was gone...... I freaked out looked for him bla bla then told locals that I'd five who ever brought my camera back 100 American dollors with the pictures, they were all over it! My card just my cArd came back in about 30 min so I check to see if there were pics using someone's camera and they were all deleted. My entire trip... It was my card. The bar tender was a sweet heart and was pist and new who took it and went to the cops. Then later the same guys sees me after I went out dancing and tried to forget about it. Hes like "a man I got your camera and your chip, come talk to me"
I was like feelin a good buzz and ready to bargain! Ha ha. So I go to a house/ hut and it's three of them one of me and the guy that stole my camera obviously wasn't there. He tells me listen man I'm trying to fucking help you, u understand me! My smart ass didn't understand him ha ha .. I was like man you took my shit and I'm trying to by it back? How are you helping me? Lol
Whatever I gave him 100 Belize dollors which is fifty u.s and I told him when I get my debit card thing straight I'd give him the other half!
He almost didn't go for but check it out he doesn't want that camera the police and every one on the island know about it! He got the message.
The next day he came lookin for me at my hostel.
"a nucklehead!"
I was like man i thought you were comin at two you gotta give me some time.
Then I got a boat and took off to Belize city! Later foo ha ha jk but seriously got my camera back for fifty American bucks :) but no pics :(
Belize city was a bit rough , I walked from the dock to the bus station ( about a mile) and left!
I headed west into San Ignacio which is right on the border of Guatemala !
San Ignacio is a cool little town with nice ruins and of course cool people! I saw a guy I saw in the island he's a local buddy ha ha friend but lookin for a favor . He took me to a place called bellas! The cheapest hostel in town but it rocked I told the lady (Natasha) I had to pay with a card but se didn't take them and let me stay anyway! I crashed out after a nice skype sesh with my momma and my gorgeous girlfriend for the first time! :) had a great pizza but was bothered by a couple drunks ( my momma can vouche) she met him via skype lol!
In the morning I was up early showered and went for coffee at flavas! Good breakfast to :) mark was the owner an we really hot it off!
He gave me a map to the ruin and I made my way about a mile and a half up hill with my Luna sticks! That town loved em :)
The ruins were great! It started raining and I did "tried" some yoga! Loved it!!!!!
This was Sunday so I was hoping to straighten out my debit card issue but what can you do on Sunday..
Went back to bellas and she said honey just make your self comfortable and invited me to dinner!
Just about when dinner was ready a guy named triston from the uk came walk-in up an was lookin for a room! I was the only one staying till he came along so that was cool! We hung out shot the shit and ended up walking down to what's called branch mouth. It's where the rivers meet there's a sway bridge that is half under water and you can still walk across it! Kinda cool! A rope swing and some murky ass water! Rope swing was mellow but fun!
Layer that night we went out for some beers at marks place and had a cool casual night! I gave a kid the bracelet that menka gave me but I have pictures to prove it made his day! But not just his day his b day!
She took it well :) cause I still have my necklace that i love!
Then we found a couch surfer I've been talking to an his buddies from Australia ! They were cool!
When we got back to the hostel Natasha and max the owners had some friends over and were drinkin so we joined them! Good times and good laughs ha ha!
Then it was roof top for a night cap and off to bed!
Woke up in the morning tristen went on a run , I felt guilty an did my av work out. Ugh.. All this street food I better keep on that ha ha .
I had breakfast again at marks and the rain came in strong!! But I was determined to cross the border!
I ran through the town in the pouring rain with all my stuff and the people called me under an awning and u chatted with then for a bit! They were from benkay the border town jut before Guatemala so the piled me in There mini van ad gave me a ride to the border! Dropped me off and I was on my way! I trade tristen just enough costa rican colones for Belize dollars to get me across the border! Perfect!
As soon ad I was through customs I was swarmed... Taxi, shuttle, food, I carry your pack, I I I I I I ..... I just tuned them all out and kept walking the farther you walk an the Closer to the bus station to get the cheaper your gonna get out of the madness for!
So I walked and hear everything under the sun until I agreed to 40 quetales to flores which is about an hour drive for $6.50 .
Ha ha this Mexican dude fell asleep on my shoulder on dirt roads.. I'm like uh..? Good pic tho ha ha :)
So got to Santa Elena which is walking distance from Flores and u was gonna walk it but you can take a tuk tuk for 5 quetzales and I'd never take one. So I said what the hell why not! Worst first experience ever.. At first they were so cool! The guy in the back with me was drunk! Then we et to Flores and I give them there 5 and the driver tried to make it 5 for my bag and five for me... I was like no! Hell no..
Every one says it 5 sorry that's wrong.. He was like no man... Fuck man... I went for my backpack and he was holding it down. So i yanked and turned my back and he fucking pushed me out of the the little tuk tuk! They drove off yelling shit and made a scene.. Lame.. Thats how i arrived to my hostel lol . What ever I saved a buck :)
This hostel Is really cool tho! I met some cool peeps had a couple beers and what ever! Went down to the lake chilled on the peer and they were catching a bus at nine so the took off and I went to bed. Which was a good call because I woke up at 3:30 this morning to catch a 4 am bus to Tikal which are some of the baddest ruins in central America!! And the were ! They're huge and the wild life is awesome! There deep in the jungle and you see crazy animals, monkeys, army aunts concurring an spreading in thousands to kill what ever the see ! It's cool! And it's on my far book!
About 12:30 we caught a bus back and I went to eat with a kid I met this morning named andie and just came back to the hostel! It was an awesome day today! 10/4/11
I saw a view of never ending jungle with ruins in the distance popping above the tree line, while sitting on a hinge ruin! Something I'll never forget!
Now I'm finishing this up and figuring out my card situation cause I'd live to catch a ten hour night bus to Guatemala city tonight!
So i'll keep you posted! Love you guys! Thanks for following the adventure! :)
