Trip report

P and I went to Wet N Wild for my bday. He thought it was more like Wet n Mild...but I thought it was a good mix of cheesy/cute and I found one slide to be particularly fun. Before we left, we went on my favorite 10times!
I think we got some great shots with the waterproof camera that I brought along. I will post those in a few days!
After Wet n Mild, we took the R1 bus to downtown Cancun and then hopped on an ADO bus to Playa. An hour later, we exited our bus and walked a few short blocks to our Posada.
We stayed at Posada Freud and were thrilled with our choice because we had decided on taking the Studio that faces 5th street.
Our whole place was windows! Even the ceiling! There was a cool private entry on 5th, right next to the Converse store, across from Diesel.
After you enter through the private entry, you walk up a spiral staircase and there is a loft-like space that they call the Studio.
I believe it's the only Studio at the Posada Freud.
P went and grabbed a bite to eat, while I got ready in the Studio and then we headed out around 10 for La Bodeguita Del Medio.
Around 11 all the great salsa dancers arrived. We met a Veracruzano and I danced with him for about 4 or 5 songs. He had a very unique style, but I don't think he had ever tried Cuban style salsa. He never threw me into a turn that was Cuban, but it was still fun!
After a bit of dancing, we left our new Playa friend and walked home. P gave me his shoes because I had been in closed-toe shoes and my feet were killing from the dancing! It was really nice to see Playa at a more quieter time.
It was also nice having a place right on 5th to walk home to.
I woke up aroudn 7am this morning and told P that we should again enjoy the calm 5th avenue that we never have a chance to see. We grabbed some drinks at Starbucks and then went over to Karma Bagels. P still likes bagels and I was excited for him to try them at Karma. Nope, closed. We then decided on La Vagubunda for breakfast.
I had a celery, chaya, orange, spinach drink and he had eggs florentine. We couldn't be more alike huH!
After breakfast, we walked a little on the beach and remarked how close the properties are to the water. Also the look of them beats a lot of the Cancun properties near the Westin (the south area). I'm just not into that fake, las vegas/pyramid/pretend mayan ruin look.
Around 10am we returned back to the hotel and hopped back on the ADO bus.
It was a great trip!!! And it was by far the best birthday I have ever had. Thank you to all those that sent happy bday messages! Much luv!
