Touristy Cancun

Hello!

We didn't really explore Cancun before as tourist. I turned out we fully visited it only when we started living here. It is actually fun because we can explore it from two point of views at the same time. And giving it no rush over anything. Cancun has neatly separated tourist zone with nothing but hotels, eateries and some entertainment like big aquarium. It also has some ruins. In fact we have two set of small ruins here one are actual ruins of fishermen village of Cancun (it is believed to be translates as a snake nest which I personally adore with all my heart as not only I love reptiles but also often joke around I am either a reptile myself or at least been one in my past life or lives) and the other ruins are the ruins of the farm. The latter are located next to the big Maya museum (only city of Merida has it bigger), the entry is cheap and gives you access to both the museum are ruins/garden (bonus points for a huge number of iguanas there). We absolutely loved it there and as they often host temporary art exhibitions there I am sure we will come again and again for some art. The Mayan part of the museum is very educational, you can learn a lot of how they used to live, about their cultures and arts (as you can guess from the photos, I am a fan of pottery they showed). The focus is never set on the war matters despite the Yukatan peninsula bloody past and I am very grateful for that. 

 

 

 

There also are Scorpion temple ruins on the way there right on the beach. The ruins are completely free and small but it worth the visit if you are around. Also it's very refreshing to stay there because of the breeze, can be handy if the day is hot (wasn't actually our case but still).

 

We walked all the way from our home to the museum and back and while it was a very long road we truly enjoyed it. Highly recommend exploring the tourist area on Cancun on foot, without taxies or buses (the buses are very cheap though, it's a great option to come back if you feel tired). The beaches of Cancun are divided and each has its own name and mostly you can see the difference in the beach corresponding to its name. I also find it pretty handy.

For the walk I wore a neon top that covered my shoulders just in case sunscreen might let me down. A hat to cover from the sun (I actually mostly wore it in my bag though because of the wind), a loose short dress and a small bag to carry my phone. The outfit is very comfortable and I like the way it turned out. I find it a great compromise between style and comfort, not giving in to any hurting the other. what do you think?

I was wearing:

DKNY dress

Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (very old, and it's actually my first ever bag on the expensive side)

Uniqlo x Ines de la Fressage hat

c/o iGlassesshop sun glasses

Monki top

 

Have a nice day,
