Ahh this place is cool. Its an awesome beach resort town with heaps of gorgeous hotels. We got ourselves a cool hotel with a large room in traditional Mexican style. It had a balcony also which would good for Greg to smoke his spliffs!.. The beach here was also nice but maybe not as nice as Cancun but the place itself had a much better atmosphere and vibe. An Israel stalker dude we had following us in Cancun happen to run into us again here so we had to side step him and do a runner, he was really starting to do our head in, especially Mongeys head and I think Mongey even told him to piss off!

Hit the town and clubs big time here. Me and Maniac Mongey went for a walk and snuck into a resort and spent the day chilling in a resort pool, drinking cocktails and talking to gorgeous Mexican chicks who all thought we actually were staying in the resort. Met up with them that night at a nightclub and they were having a hens night so were all dressed in white little dresses and white hats. Then the next day went for a walk to another beach around the corner which was a much nicer beach and had big mattresses and couches on the beach and real Cafe Del Mar type music playing. Was really ritzy but good to chill out.

I can recommend Playa del Carmen if you want a holiday away for a couple weeks with good food and nightlife, but keep in mind its quite expensive. Oh yeah that reminds me.. the seafood banquet we had.. BEST EVER!! lobster, prawns, fish, squid, mussells and I think maybe more, cost us about 10 bucks each but was amazing! oh yes and it included a free beer!.. rock on..

Mongey and I arrive in Cancun on our flight to London. Cool plane actually with TV´s on the back of the seats and you can change camera views so you can see whats happening infront of the plane as you land.. Get to Cancun airport and have to wait for the other boys, Greg and Johno to arrive on separate flights. Greg arrives first and to his surprise he didnt know that Mongey was actually with us.. So I walked greg down to a waiting area and there was the Mongster sitting waiting with a cowboy hat on.. I am sure Gregs head almost fell off!!!

About an hour or so later Johno had still not arrived. We were starting to worry we got the dates wrong but then I had a brain storm to check my emails - yep I am still as smart as ever! There were two emails waiting from Johno saying his flight was delayed so eventually he turned up and we all hugged and missioned to a hostel, all caught up and got really drunk! The hostel was sick and had a chillout type nightclub on the roof.

All in all we had a good time in Cancun. The beaches are beautiful white sand and the colour of the water is like nothing I have ever seen before. A milky blue Carribean colour. We rocked it on a few nights here hitting some of the best clubs in town. This one club was amazing with different acts on stage and people hanging from the roof, it was just sooo Ibiza!..

Cancun itself is just a big touristy city with lots of highrise buildings and tourists, the beaches are nice and the clubs are good but thats about all it has going for it..
