It was bittersweet checking out of our hotel in Vallodolid. Our next stop was Cancun on our way to our final destination: Islas de Mujeres. We took a heart-stopping drive through Cancun in search of the car rental place. We cleared the car out, only to fill it back up after the rental place guy offered to take us to the ferry.
After all the crazy moments driving over the last week, the last five minutes in Cancun were the scariest of the whole trip: we almost hit a lot of other cars and a biker, went down a one-way street, the wrong way. We both breathed a sigh of relief when the ride was over.The ferry ride over was uneventful. We were a bit skeptical, though, when we saw the crowd. It looked a little too much like the Cancun tourist trap we were trying to avoid. The scene when we arrived was not promising either. But we made our way to to Cabanas Maria del Mar, which was far enough from the crowds but not too far from the good food and (our favorite Gelato bar: Cool).
After taking a nap and settling into our new homebase, we walked around the main street to check out all the restaurants and dive shops. By the end of our walk, we had signed up for an advanced dive course. It looks like our last four days weren't going to be as relaxing as we thought. We had a romantic meal at the water's edge at Zazil Ha. The location was great, the food was underwhelming. Then we settled in for an early night.
