Absolutely our worst driving day. We took the libre (free) road because the toll was $100 US and it took us 5 1/2 hours to go 132 miles. We went through 18 little villages which were interesting but they all had topes (speedbumps) one had 14. The children lined up at every tope and I threw pencils and pens out to them. this was greeted with Gracias and many smile. We saw the typical hut in this area. It's made of 2' tree sticks with a thatched roof. The government is trying to get the peasants out of these huts into concrete houses so we saw many people building their new houses.
We went through Mexican Cancun in a torrential downpour, which at least helped with the humidity but masked the potholes and topes. Much clashing of dishes.
got settled in our campground and went with Jackie and Bailey for a tour of Zona Hotela, the main drag of tourist Cancun. What a difference, all neat and sparkly filled with Caucasians in shorts.
Then we went for a lovely birthday dinner on the beach. Beautiful place and sunset and good time.
