MY STORY

I reached Mexico by boat after immigration in Chetumal, I took a bus to Tulum but in between, I liked the views in Bacalar so I got down a. I met some Germans on the street they guided me to the hostel after check in at the hostel I rented a bike and biked to cenote Azul and relaxed on the Bacalar Lake.

Next day, I took a bus to Playa del Carman; this city is like a touristy city with a lot of fancy restaurants. The city looks lot American and very good place to party, and after partying for 2days (caronas are 4$ for 6pack), I left to Tulum.

In Tulum I did cenote diving, this is kind of diving is found only in Mexico. The next day, i visited Tulum fort and Atacama beach where I swim with turtles and after 2 nights stay in Tulum my plan was to visit Chichen Itza, but I did a stop by in Coba ruins for a few hours then left to Chichen Itza. I got to Valodiad (where people who want to visit Chichen Itza stays) very late in the evening.

The next morning, i took a bus to Chichen Itza from Volodiad. This was my first world wonder, visit after a whole day of self-tour in Chichen Itza I came back to the hostel in Valodiad.

Next day, I journeyed towards Cancun, a center of attraction to tourist. I met a Mexican in the hostel where I lodged and together we went for a day trip to Isla Mushers, and as we got there, we rented a bike and biked from end to end of the island and when we returned the bike there was an issue about money with the shop owner but it was later settled.

The next day, I had a flight to Mexico City (getting on flight after visiting 7 countries and 50 days of my trip was relieving). I was in the Cancun airport after check-in and emigration, a cop came to me and started interrogating me, he took me to his office and took my passport checked something in the computer, and after that he gave me my passport and told I can go (I had no idea why did he do that).

I got to Mexico City and took my cheapest metro ride to the downtown where my hostel is. I spent 4 days in this beautiful city. The first day I did a walking tour downtown. The next day I did a hop on and hop off tour in the city and the 3rd day was for shopping (I bought 5 liters of tequila that very day).

The following, I booked a flight and traveled out of the country.
