Buenos Días Tangerineys! It is our final full day here in Playa del Carmen.
Before we head out for breakfast we're just enjoying some coffee at the hotel
Which I find just delightful not having to make coffee in the morning, [Laughter] just
having it be there.
So we've bought our tickets for the ferry ride over to
Cozumel. They are 420 pesos each and we're riding in
first class. And that's for round-trip.
So we're on the UltraMar Ferry. The boat has one section downstairs that's
supposed to be for first class only but it's not roped off or anything, so it
seems like anyone just goes there and takes up all the seats. We did find a
more exclusive spot that was roped off so we came upstairs.
Now we have a table, nice seats, and more room!
It's great!
I get seasick really easily so I was really nervous for this ride but I
learned a trick put your finger right here on your wrist. It helped me so much!
You're welcome by the way. Oh. I was the person who told you that. Thank you!
Alright, so we just showed up here in Cozumel.
I honestly have no idea what's on this island to do.
Well, I've seen two stores so far,
A Cartier store and a Rolex store, so hopefully it gets a little bit cheaper than that!
[Laughter] Otherwise, we have to get right back on that boat! Yep, we're going home. [Laughter]
We've been on this island for approximately 15 minutes now and the
vendors are a little bit outrageous. Don't take no for an answer.
I feel rude because I'm just like trying to stare at the ground and not make eye
contact. What do you think this water? It's pretty! I want to get in it, I'm hot!
This looks so cool! Well, this place, their menu was totally in US Dollars and we asked
for a menu in pesos and they didn't have one. The margaritas were
ridiculously expensive. We're going to try to find somewhere else.
We are now at Tequila Beach Club, in Cozumel. Cozumel.
This is pretty nice! The day has been nothing
short of aggravating up to this point. They tried to overcharge us at this
previous restaurant that we went to adding other stuff on the bill.
The margarita sucked and they still charged us for it even though I didn't drink it. But
So far this is going great! We have some nice chairs with the waves crashing
in front of us. Something that looks like a play structure in the water which I'm
definitely going to get in on! We might do some snorkeling, I want to do that for sure!
The water feels so nice!
How do you feel about the wristband though? We got the basic package which
was 306 pesos per person to get in. And on it it says "exactly what you deserve -
basic" Really guys?
[Laughter] The drinks are a little over a hundred pesos a piece, but we
have happy hour coming up from 4:00 to 6:00 where they'll be 2x1, so
that'll be nice! And the waves aren't very big on this side of Cozumel
and there's no seaweed, which is awesome!
So I'm excited to hang out for a bit!
Yeah, me too!
I'm taking it out.
Okay, we made it up!
I don't get what this thing is. Pretzel? I don't get it either.
Now I'm going on to this really shaky platform, so I'm gonna have to put you
guys away again. Okay, here we go.
[Laughter]
How does it feel to look like a huge dork?
I don't know why you have to put this on camera.
[Laughter] I wanna go snorkeling!
All right, let's go!
Before coming to Mexico I called up my friend who has a sunglass company.
It's these ones I'm wearing they're SOL like SOLsunglasses.com. I was like "Hey I
need to buy a bunch of pairs of sunglasses from you." Well-priced, they're
also good quality, great lenses. We'll
put a link in the description, use the code
"tangerine" for a little bit of a special friend discount.
I have been snorkeling for the past like, I don't know, for probably like an hour and a half
straight. I don't think I've ever snorkeled before really, except for maybe the very
first time I came to Mexico when I was like six. What we have behind us right
now is one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in my life I think!
Unfortunately, in Playa del Carmen you don't get beach sunsets, you only get
beach sunrises so you have to take the ferry on over here to Cozumel if you
want a beach sunset. Man, is it worth it!
Wow, yeah! I was super annoyed by all the
vendors and all the people trying to scam us, and what seemed like gonna be
another one terrible thing after another adding stuff onto the bill and stuff like
that. However this Beach Club in particular I thought was very worth the
money. We got a nice chair on the beach, we could snorkel, play on all this great
equipment. The random beach playground over here, and all the snorkeling gear
was included in the price of the entry fee. I could not believe how many
tropical fish I saw! I've never in my life been like in the water with this
many fish! And I saw a stingray, like a white stingray! And we may have seen a
barracuda! You guys, this is the fish, correct us if we're wrong. If that's not
a barracuda, I don't know. I freaked out, I thought it was gonna like attack me [Laughter]
Instead I attacked it. Well, I chased it.
This was way too much fun! I would
specifically come back to this beach club. I don't know about any of the
others, honestly. But this one is very close to the ferry in terms of the, I
mean Cozumel's is a big island! This one was only three kilometers away from the ferry.
It cost us 70 pesos? 70 pesos cab ride - like a four-minute. With some negotiating involved
there. But wow, this was our last day here, a great wrap up to this trip. I will be
honest, Playa del Carmen is not on my list of places in Mexico that I will
return to because of all the tourist traps, scammy things that happened. Playa del
Carmen and Cozumel have a lot going for them but in our experience there were
people trying to screw us over repeatedly. Restaurants adding stuff
onto the bill, charging us a hundred and sixty pesos for glasses of water. Just
stuff like that, one after another. It happened way too many times for it to be
coincidence. And if you're one of the people trying to screw tourists over,
shame on you! Shame on you. Because this is the only time a lot of people, a lot of tourists
see Mexico. And if this is their only experience, that's going to be a put a
pretty bad taste in their mouth for Mexico. I mean, you guys, Mexico has a bad
reputation from the media anyway. So then you have people trying to screw tourists
over just to get a few bucks. I mean that shitty! And that's probably going to be
their only Mexico experience ever because they'll be like "I'm never coming
back!" We've had so many great experiences in Mexico, it's a shame to come here and
see one place trying to screw you after another. Mexico is a beautiful place, a
wonderful place with many wonderful, generous, honest people, but this is not a
good representation of that! Enough of this rant!
This is not a drill!
We're trying to make the boat! This is seriously not, the ferry leaves in like two minutes!
The tickets.
Oh my gosh, by some miracle we
made it!
We had to hurry, but I'm glad we didn't have to wait another hour!
Buenos Días! We are on the ADO bus headed to the
Cancun Airport now. This is way to go!
Air conditioning is really nice. I think it's
gonna take like an hour and a half to get there. The tickets were how much? 198 pesos each. Much less
expensive than our 1400 peso cab ride here. Plus tip.
Plus tip. We are inside the airport now.
It was a really smooth bus ride. This trip has been a lot of fun but I'm not
gonna lie, I'm super exhausted and I just want to be back.
So we're on the plane now. It ended up being delayed by four hours because of the
hurricane that's going on and various weather conditions across the country.
It's weirdly foggy on this plane right now, like steamy with the
air-conditioning. I've never seen anything like this before.
(Over the speaker) "If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you for your attention and enjoy the flight."
Alrighty, so we are back at the Guadalajara Airport. A safe flight.
Reflecting on our first time with a Mexican airline, I'd say this particular
airline wasn't... Ugg, this guy with a whistle!
The Uber's right here. Oh. One moment please!
Alrighty, so we just arrived back in Ajijic. We were gonna record something in the cab
but we actually ended up getting into some really nice conversation in Spanish
and so we always like to take that practice. Now, we are hopping in the car
and going to get Laska. So we were going to tell you guys what we thought about
the airline Volaris. I would say that it wasn't like a terrible experience like
we'd never do it again, but we're definitely gonna want to try Interjet.
Because a lot of people recommended that one. Yeah, I mean, I think our Volaris
experience is better than our Viva Aerobus experience because that company
canceled our flight without any notification whatsoever. Seats were less
than desirably comfortable. My butt is so sore! My ass is like super sore from
sitting in those like non padded seats. I'm a little pissed that because of the
weight thing that they have we had to pay 500 pesos extra, but as you pointed
out, they are very upfront about that so it's not like a sneaky charge that they
try to add on there. But it's still kind of irritating because we could have just
paid that extra money and gone with a nicer airline, so that's just what we're
gonna do next time.
Hi there!
Oh, hi!
[Laughter] Have you been having lots of fun with Laska?
Wanna give me some kisses? Thank you!
Laska!
Oh, hi!
Wahh! Okay, hi!
Oh wow, this is the quietest you've ever been when we picked you up!
She's like "hey they're mine!"
Oh hi!
Thanks fo the kiss!
Well you look happy!
