My Memorable Mexico Trip
This is about my travel experience to Mexico. It was a memorable 12 hour trip
from Edinburgh to Cancun. When we landed in Cancun 9 o‛ clock in the night we
took a taxi to playa del Carmen. My parents thought that place would be
quieter than Cancun and we could enjoy our own time.
I was very excited to explore the city right from the morning and got up 6 o‛ clock
in the morning. I couldn‛t sleep and dad then agreed to take me out to the beach.
When I reached to the beach I could not believe my eyes. It was amazing white
fine sandy beach with nobody around. I put my feet in the water and found it is
warm enough to come back with my mom and have fun. Obviously I spent most of
that day in the seaside.
Next day we went to another beach called Akumul it was even more beautiful. It
was famous for snorkelling with turtle and I could not let this opportunity go. We
jumped in the water with water suit on along with well-equipped snorkelling mask
and goggles. We jumped in to the water with an instructor to look below the sea
and it was the highlight of the trip. We had to swim far away from the shore to
see underwater view. We had seen corals colourful fishes and turtle as well. We
touched the turtle. Next day we went to visit another place where we explored
the mayan cultures. After our beach place we went to north of Mexico to see
copper canyon. We went to a small mountainous place called creel. From there
whole day we have explored different formations of copper canyon. Our driver
and guide arranged a nice lunch beside the famous waterfalls. We tried marmite
cheese. We went back to airport for Mexico City by a famous scenic train called
‘chepe‛. The 8 hours of train journey was little boring but enjoyed at last as my
friend was with me. Next morning we reached in Mexico City. Our hotel was in city
centre. We stayed for two days and enjoyed a lot by watching flamenco show,
museums and all.
It was indeed a memorable trip for us. That was first time we went for a holiday
so far. Although weather was scorching hot but we enjoyed that weather going
from freezing cold in uk.
Mexico we can come again and again…
