You better believe we brought our Costco bag of chips to Mexico with us.
📍Tulum, Mexico
Mo & Co here,
Time to head back to our home hemisphere! To do that we had a nice long flight from Seoul to Cancun, Mexico (with a quick layover in SF - which didn’t count as stepping foot back in the US technically!). Once we arrived in Cancun, there was a miscommunication on our shuttle arrangement (their fault not ours this time) and we had to get a way too expensive car to the hostel. Oh well at least we made it. Then we proceeded to fall asleep very early when jet lag came to say hello (but not before we had tamales for dinner of course).
The next day we took a tour with our hostel to Cenote Casa Tortuga, where we explored the natural sinkholes filled with water, jumping in and having a grand ole time. Afterwards, we went exploring for some good street elotes (they was delicious of course). Then back to the hostel where we promptly fell asleep, jet lag was at it again!
We couldn’t go to Tulum and pass up the ruins, which were cool but when you’ve been to Chichen Itza before it’s kinda hard to compete with🤷🏻♀️. There were tons of iguanas (best part of Mexico really) and we mainly chased them around before heading back. Then we proceeded to have the best Mexican food at Antojio La Chiapaneca (where we would go back for a second round the next day).
The last thing on our agenda was getting our nails done💅🏻. We know, very unusual of us but we had a big weekend coming up: our friends were getting married! Hence why we were in Tulum so we could get rid of our jet lag before then. Getting our nails done was our attempt to not look like we’ve been wearing the same 7 pieces of clothing for the past 9 months (spoiler - it didn’t work).
Accommodations:
* Mamas Home Hostel 5⭐️ - literally the best hostel breakfast we’ve ever had
Other Highlights:
* Don Taco - taco truck with tamales
* Taqueria La Chiapaneca Antojitos La Chiapaneca 🤤
