Day 8 --- Cancun/home

We had breakfast outside on the veranda. The most noteworthy thing was the birds which went to the waiter’s station and ate the leftovers which were on the plates. We walked on the beach then relaxed on chaise lounge by the pool. We decided that resort life was not for us. The hotel is lovely, the beach is beautiful, everything is terribly overpriced and you are at the mercy of the resort because there is no place to go. Cancun has nothing to do with Mexico, at least the hotel zone doesn’t. It’s like being in a Mexican themed resort in Las Vegas with the added benefit of a beautiful beach. At 11:30 we took the shuttle to the airport. Cancun airport (departures) is like a shopping mall. They told us we had to be at the airport 2.5 hrs before departure and we know why – they just want you to spend more money. A burger at the airport is $20 and so are drinks.
