But if you re feeling lazy and compelled to do something else while you re here, you have plenty of
A few months airline ticket from japan to korea ago, I talked about getting out of Cancun for the day , and I meant it. Cancun, if you ve not been, is mostly a strip of land with a lagoon on one side, and beaches on the other. Along this sandy road is nothing but hotels, resorts, condos, and every tourist airline ticket from japan to korea s favourite: chain restaurants. There s even a high end shopping airline ticket from japan to korea mall as well, but I think you re getting my drift there isn t an abundance of cultural stuff here.
Now, given the driech winter, I can imagine that you if you do make it to Cancun , will be wanting to just chill out on the beach with your bottomless cocktail of choice and not move anywhere airline ticket from japan to korea that isn t within arms reach of the beach. Understandable. But if you can spare a few hours, I ve got a daytrip suggestion that is fairly easy on both your budget and your time: Isla Mujeres . It s a small island just a few miles off the Cancun coast, and the £10 ferry ride (return) is a bargain for getting out for the day.
Ferries leave approximately every hour from Puerto Jarez most hotels will offer a shuttle service, or the local bus will take you there, and if you re staying in the Hotel Zone, it s a very quick trip. Once you arrive at the ferry terminal on Isla Mujeres (about a 35 minute trip across some stunning blue waters), you can go lay back down. Seriously: Isla Mujeres has some seriously amazing beaches, and since they re just a block or two north of the ferry dock it is a hard deal to pass up.
But if you re feeling lazy and compelled to do something else while you re here, you have plenty of ways to get around. The most popular is the golf car hire several shops that hire them out can be found directly ahead as you exit the ferry station. It s very inexpensive, especially if you can share a cart, and even if you re not feeling too comfortable on the right hand side of the road, rest assured the roads are pretty empty once you get away from the ferry in fact, I didn t see hardly any other cars on the roads, just a handful of taxis and golf carts.
You can also take taxis trips from the ferry to the furthest point south are about £4-5 each way, so fairly inexpensive. airline ticket from japan to korea Or rent a bike and pedal your way around, if you perhaps overdid it at the buffet bar last night.
There is plenty to see on the island, airline ticket from japan to korea whether you re out by bike, cart, or car. First up is the Tortugranja, a sort of museum and safe haven where islanders are trying to protect the local giant turtle, who is endangered due to the popularity of stealing the turtle eggs. I m not sure why they didn t look very tasty to me. The museum isn t very big, nor fancy, but they do have quite a few turtles and other sea animals, so it is worth a peek.
If you re into snorkelling, there s also an underwater museum that has amassed quite a collection of statues and things that they ve sunk down underwater. Ok, so it isn t really buried treasure, but it s still a fun experience if you wanted to snorkel while you re here.
Lastly, and my personal favourite, is Punta Sul, which is the southern most point on the island. Here you ll find an old Mayan temple in ruins, unfortunately as well as a gorgeous walk around the cliffs at the very tip. There is another cliff covered with giant iguanas, and a small shop that sells what they claim is the best ice cream on the island. Couldn t say whether it s the best as it was the only one we tried, but it does cool you down on a hot day.
