We set off from the Hilton after a great breakfast, the lovely van man took us direct to the airport rather than dropping us off at the station so we were pretty early. We checked in and got seats together which pleased me, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to.
Flights all went on time, we had a nice time mooching around the airport which did seem very quiet, and then we were on the plane!
For 10.5 hours.
It did get boring. We watched a couple of films and tv, played some of the games on there too and read our books. We even talked a bit but we weren't by a window so couldn't see a lot and man, it was a long journey. We were flying into the sun so as the UK time got later and later, it was actually quite early by Mexican time!!
We landed and whoompf, we felt the heat immediately. Checking into Mexico took a while, there are a lot of forms, baggage took ages, customs worried me due to Steve's equipment but that was all sorted readily. Then we went to the Thomsons rep who sent us to a bus who passed us to another bus then a mini bus. It was the right one though and an hour later, we pulled up to our hotel and a bellboy took our luggage and we got a cold drink which was most welcome in our hands and there we were. On our honeymoon.
Our room was standard, and had two double beds in, but was very clean and tidy so we unpacked and went for a wander. We found our way to the restaurant, and alhough we'd had a sandwich on the plane at 7pm English time, here it was only 6pm so we found ourselves eating some more from the buffet and drinking mojitos. It was at this point Steve realised the appeal of the all inclusive. You can have anything, anywhere, anytime, so tequila shots were suddenly on the menu, just because!!
After our nibbles, we found the beach and Steve was in the water. It was night, and I didn't want him swimming out not knowing the lie of the land. So in he came, and we headed back to the room but once I was asleep he went out again and got drunk on tequila. Honestly, men.
