You are here: home > my mexico > my cozumel cancun and isla mujeres

<-Previous Next->

Yess. I made a crazy change in my trip, and decided to hang out with my cool italiano friends rather than going ahead with cancun... They are going to cozumel, and even though I know it sucks, soo what, travelling is not only seeing places but also seeing people right =) ? So I decide to see my italian friends... They
are nice to look after our stuff during the wait for cozumel ferry....
And we do it!!!?? Yes we do. We take some stupid tourist pose getting seduced by a mexican guy with all three animals!!!! I am telling you, it is hard to resist... Can´t you tell from the picture=)

Playa del Carmen sucks big time totally americanized, absolutely nothing spanish, nothing mexican.. Yet a "serious" photographer like me can take even a good picture from there... I am proud =)
Then we decide to attack the waves with Alessandra!!!!!! Marsh, Marsh!!!

Yet they outnumber us.... Retreat!!!! Mayday Mayday!!!!

So much for the "pose plasticos" on this trip =)
We arrive Cozumel,,, and what the ??!. Apparently national cup was won by guadalajara team and there is lots of celebration going on there... They even threw some t-shirt of the
strong opponent team banco nacional in front of the cars passing by =)
And this is the "Guzel Insan Tasima Araci" of Mexico=)
I am telling you, I am a good photographer... On the other hand Cozumel Sucks....=)

I guess it is not hard to guess we went snorkelling. =)
And this is exactly why Cozumel
Sucks!!!! Imagine a place with only stuff for tourists and nothing with the real mexican culture.. This picture shows the future of beautiful beaches and wonderful nature and anthropological history.... BEWARE!!!!

I should admit those sales people have some imagination... At least until Fidel is alive...

Anyways.... I say goodbye to my italian friends after hanging out with them for 4 nights, and head out for cancun and isla mujeres in one day!!! Surprisingly one day is more than enough!!!!
This is just to give an example of bad coding!!!!! I wouldn´t hire anyone that writes code like that, apparently this means that the perpendicular street on the right is the street that the name belongs to, and the arrow is obviously showing it!!!! Use your creativity for something else and follow the learned ways. Cancun doesnt know how to Keep it Simple Stupid!!?? =)

I won´t deny it this time, it is not only my photographical skills. Cancun´s waters are really goood. But that is really it,, nothing else at the moment... It is not a real party place until spring break, and the ugly hotels in front of the beaches don´t really help at all.

And I finally come to Isla Mujeres... Famous, and as disappointing for me as its fame.. First row of pictures are the beautiful parts. A small fishing island, beautiful
beaches nice coast with rocks and gorgeous waves all
together.

Now the ugly part comes in to the picture. Whole island is full of construction trying to make ugly hotels that will be accommodating luxury tourists that will not spend any time out but

only in their jacuzzis and watch their sea from
their ugly cement room which totally makes the island look like a giant shopping mall and everything ugly I feel about United States...

At least I hope those "entrepreneurs" (for me that kind of entrepreneurship is sucking the blood of the planet) will not be able to destroy this beautiful cemetery for building another hotel, at that day we will be much closer to hell anyway....

After all that pictures of isla mujeres and waters of cancun, I make a surprise move.I will not put here any other pictures of cancun, neither beaches nor party places. Not because I am against anything, simply because they are not worth even putting a single picture here. They are ugly, even uglier than what antalyas hotels are today and I am not going to contaminate my blog with them.

This really ends my trip to Mexico. The picture is my "Let´s Go Mexico" guide, which actually is the best Mexico guide ever written for budget travellers and contains all the major important sites with surprisingly good enough detail. As I knew I was going to throw it once I am out of Mexico, I tore down every pages that I have visited / "will not visit". Soo at the end my book was 1/50th of its original weight. =)

Now I am out on my way to Costa Rica, to meet with Mehmet and see the natural beauties of the Country. Stay Tuned.....
