Day three of our honeymoon we ventured out to the flea market. We took the city bus to a flea market that was 15 minutes away. It was so nice yet they definitely didn't know how to leave people alone. I was attached to jason's arm the ENTIRE time we were in there. They had great things and we bought a few odds and ends. We headed back to the hotel a few hours later and napped. Then dinner and another show. Which I think was a cirque de soleil mexican style show.
Day four we had another day by the pool! As gorgeous as the blue waters in Mexico are. The pool was way more entertaining and the heat from the sun was very very hot on the beach so we never really explored but down there. We also had a romantic couples massage that was AMAZING! All I can say was jason really enjoyed it and I loved having an excuse to get a massage! It was so quaint and cozy and it was very romantic!
Day five of our honeymoon we went to another flea market and city shops that was about an hour away from our hotel. We took the city bus which would have been fine but we told the driver we wanted to go to the market and he drove right passed it so we had to walk and walk and walk to get to where we wanted to go. We were literally walking though run down neighborhoods. BUT the people were so nice and helpful and gave us easy directions and advice to take a taxi on the way home! We spent some time at that flea market which was GORGEOUS! So colorful and not as busy as the other market. We bought a few more things including the vanilla that got confiscated in customs for being over 3 ozs. We got a taxi home and then just laid around that afternoon. None of the buses or markets have AC so by the time we got home we were worn out! We also tried to go to some shopping mall like Outlets in mexico but the prices were in pesos and we just couldn't do the conversion so we didn't do much shopping! That night we went to a fire show after dinner and it was very very cool. It was on the beach and the weather was perfect!
Day six of our honeymoon we made arrangements to go zip lining as an included excursion. I LOVED zip lining when we went to Jamaica but this experience was TOTALLY different. The platforms were man made and not in the Jungle like I had expected. They totally rushed you through the entire thing. I couldn't even turn around to see jas go so we got NO pictures. And they made you walk on poles sticking out of the ground that were very much spaced WAY too far apart for someone who is 5"1 and I was freaking out. Jason was behind me the whole time and was a GREAT encourager. I froze in the middle of the course like 4 times and he just kept telling me you can do it Jen, Keep going, I'm right behind you! I LOVE MY HUSBAND! So they talked us into another activity while we were there that was a complete waste of $169. They were called buckshot boats or something like that and they flew around the jetties at "top notch speeds" which turned out to be a tin boat made in the 70's that went 80 miles an hour. HUGE waste of money. We got back and had a romantic dinner set up in our room. We had great expectations for this but it was terrible! The setting was romantic and they made us a sign and it was so pretty but the food was terrible! So we went downstairs and ate sushi and mexican! I have a picture of jason trying sushi for the first time and he was NOT a fan!
Day 7 was another pool day. we also ventured out onto the beach for just a little while to take some pictures! this day was our final goodbye to cancun and our relaxing day. Jason made me a mani/pedi appointment and it was lovely! We packed and had dinner and then saw our final show which was an anything can happen show! we had to answer trivia, articles find where women were taking their clothes off for us to get points (CRAZY!) and then do the train around the lobby of our hotel!
Day 8 we woke up and had breakfast and then headed to the airport!
Overall, it was a great relaxing vacation. We enjoyed each other company and we got some much needed time away from the rest of the world! We are looking forward to many more vacations and we're hoping to get away next summer to Costa Rica or maybe we'll pick some place else! Wherever we go it will be fun and i'm soooo excited!
That concludes our honeymoon and i'll post pictures as soon as I get them off of my computer!
