Ah... a nice sleep in ... must be getting into vacation mode! We're up at 9:30, and barely make it to breakfast in time (end at 10AM).
Then we take the bus all the way through Hotel Zone to Cancun City - 20km, 6 pesos. We went to a mall first (Plaza Americas) but didn't find anything so we walked down Tulum Ave to the flea market and picked up all our souvenirs. Ran out of money, and had to go to the currency exchange booth twice just to buy lunch! Two big pollo flautas and four coronas came to $22US. A good value for Canada, but we probable (read:definetely) got ripped off here. Carole bought a silver chain and turquios pendant - they said "regular 770p, for you 550!" - we said we only had 400 left and she said okay, but I still think that $40US was too much - certainly worth the entertainment value though!
On the bus back we saw all the hotels again - Avalon Grande looks nice ... so does the Blue Bay ... we have to go there Thursday, maybe we'll see Bert.
Dinner was good again tonight - had a little of everything again. Saw the "pirate" show at 9PM, wasn't much more than a macho contest like we saw last night, but with no band. Back in the room by 10PM - a lazy day, but long and hot. I only had about 16 drinks too ... dead sober - I'll have to do something about that tomorrow!!!
