Arriving in playa del Carmen was like teleporting to Miami beach for the week. When we pulled up at the ADO depot we were greeted with searing heat and American college students getting ready for spring break.
Much of the first and second day was spent lazing around the beach, getting hair wraps and taking in the westernised vibe of sunny playa. After spending the last month on a diet of tacos and rice we made the most of the walmart across the road from our hostel and created homemade chicken and mango salads for almost every meal of the week.
It's funny how you can be on the other side of the world and still manage to run into Aussies doing the same thing you are. For our remaining nights we hit up playas nightlife with some boys from back home, and made the most of the local House and trap music playing in the streets.
Cancun was a short bus ride away and we were greeted by our best mates from back home; after not seeing each other for over 5 months we spent the week lazing by the pool at the Grand Oasis while sipping piña coladas and snacking on buffets in between getting up to no good and running a muck on the island of Isla Mejeres.
Fortunately we managed to drag ourselves out of bed in time to frolicking in some Cenotes and visit the archeological site of Chichen Itza.
Spring break is everything you want it to be; wild, intoxicating and adventurous!
Here's what we got up to;
