O Bem and Isla Mujeres em or Bad

Think on that beach of crystal blue water and white sand, full of coconut trees and networks to relax. Beaches all those we see in travel magazines. Well, muitas delas devem be em Isla Mujeres. Facing the beautiful and peaceful landscape, had a mix of emotions. On the one hand, the place relaxing and the company of a good friend, second, the first experience of banditry and neglect throughout expedition. Good and Evil showed up during our stay there.

When the Spaniards arrived on the island in the middle of the sixteenth century, had no doubt in naming it Isla Mujeres. The place was sacred cults of the region Ix Chel, goddess of fertility in pre-Columbian times, and their images were scattered everywhere. Today, the island is the refuge of those who want to escape the hype of Cancun to enjoy a quiet beach, or risk a dip in its surroundings.

Located north of Cancun, access to the island is extremely easy, having three different starting points: 1) Punta Sam, option farthest from the Hotel Zone, custa cerca de $6 dollars per person roundtrip, and the journey takes around 45 minutes; dali SAEM os ferries that take cars to the island; 2) Puerto Juarez, offering speedboats on a trip around 15 minutes at a cost of $15 dollars and 3) vessels leaving the Hotel Zone, outputs with more frequent. In general, the ferries out at intervals of 30 the 45 minutes.

Isla Mujeres is very small and cozy. Shipping is done basically walking, or golf carts that roam the streets, and are also available for lease.

The Tanajura was waiting for us on land, but we had the pleasure of the company of our dear friend on this trip Cassia. She fit in your holiday a visit to Shipping and spent a few days with us in Mexico. Fun Days, to put a lot of talk in this day and kill the longing. We gain a new life with her beside us.

With the presence of Cassia, Well accompanied us on our arrival to Isla Mujeres. Until Mal decided to welcome, logo on our arrival at the Hostel Poc In. They lost our reservation and Hostel was almost sold out. Ok, these things happen, but it was the disregard with which we were treated that bothered us. After much waiting, able to accommodate us in separate rooms (and sets it apart, each ended up in different room!).

The hostel had a beautiful yard, overlooking the beach. Ali spent a very pleasant evening-based chat and laughter. At noite, ate a nice fish on a variety of dining options that Isla Mujeres offers on its main avenue. There also find Julia, another visit was glad that our stay on the island.

Next day, Well we went to the beach while curtíamos, relaxing to view paradise, crystal clear blue water. This gives charme é or Isla Mujeres, in our opinion. Enjoy the quiet beach, without commitment.

And so the next day. Hottest beach, and more tasty fish. In the Yucatan Peninsula usually temper the fish à Maya, with a mixture of local condiments. The grilled fish is all red with spice and is a delight! On the island were also the Marquesita (especie of biju recheado), addicted to the sweet whole expedition.

All was well, until we had a surprise return to the hostel. The computer's Gabriel disappeared inside the room. We look to all corners, but the computer really was not there. Perhaps inadvertently, do not use the lockers available in hostel (Nor even because we had padlocks) and our backpacks were exposed inside the room. More poorly thought this kind of thing after many passages by hostels worldwide with no experience of the type. We learned the hard way. Really can not trust never.

Apart from the stress of the case record in local police (extremely solicitous, by sinal), passed a bad time with the neglect of Hostel Poc In light of the situation. Shortly were concerned. Unlike speech, acted as if it were something extremely trivial (e really was, as the police would discover later). On our side, entanto not, was not. Especially for the poor Gabriel, it not only lost its instrument of communication and work, as well as some of the records of travel, numerous photos and files. Police arrived to bring a suspect to recognize and treat the case with careful attention to where we saw, but unfortunately nothing computer. To further history melancolizar, take a shower those, When we returned to the ferry that would take us back to Cancun.

Unfortunately it's so, Good and evil are always together, yet we often forget that bad things sometimes happen. But after so many good experiences, we could not let a bad spell our ruin. The theft and neglect of Hostel Poc In our case overshadowed the beautiful beaches of Isla Mujeres, and certainly skewed our view of the island. Happily, Cassia had a baby beside us to brighten the spirits. Thanks, Cass!
