9 MAY 2007

We went out to a crazy nightclub in Cancun called Senor frogs last night. Possibly one of the most debaucherous night clubs I have ever been to. Upon arrival we were presented with a 1litre large plastic fluro cup with which was quickly filled with various forms of alcohol.
As we proceeded further into the venue we noticed a scantily clad woman was being hoisted (willingly) by their ankles to the ceiling, then being spun around upside down while compressed air was blown at her. Bizzaro. At first i though they had tricked her into doing that and that now that all the girls knew what was going to happen they would prolly steer clear of the crazy looking mexicans with the ropes and pulleys, that was until i noticed the line of women waiting to be hauled up to the ceiling for a spin.
After walking around the club alittle bit more I noticed above my head was what looked to be a water slide. And it was. The water slide went from the middle of the club and out over the balcony outside into the carribean ocean. Nice. Then it was time for the frozen tshirt competition where 3 guys get the chance to represent their country (USA, Canada or Mexico) by trying to unfreeze a rocksolid tshirt by smashing it against the floor. The prize: a soggy half frozen senor frogs tshirt. The punishment if you couldnt unfreeze the tshirt: A clothed trip on the water slide. After 5 or so minutes of frantic frozen tshirt smashing no one won and they all got a trip down the water slide. Then it was time for the crowdsurfing competition, which was just that, a crowdsuring competition. I knew something was missing, Cancun, nightclub, drunk americans. You guessed it. WET TSHIRT COMPETITION. 7 or so big breasted women jumped up on stage and 1 by 1 proceeded to jump in and out of a pool in their jeans and a white senor frogs tshirt. The tshirts must have been really itchy cause the girls were tearing them off withing minutes. Excellente. After all that I was getting quite annebriated myself so I decided to pull the pin and catch the bus home, on the way I grabbed some tacos from a street vendor. Muy Bien.
Woke up with bad case of montezumas revenge this morning, it had me doing the mexican two step all the way to the toilet. Not great to cop travellers diarhorrea when you are just about to check out. Anyway I sucked it in / blew it out, and headed for the bus stop with my hungover amigos Scratcher (ryan) and Pils (mark). We got the local bus from our 5 star hotel to Cancun Ciudad (downtown) and managed to get a 1st Class coach all the way to Playa Del Carmen (about 70 minutes) for the grand fare of 42 Pasos. The coach was awesome, nice seats, movies, but more imporatantly it had a toilet.
Playa Del Carmen is great, it finally feels like the real Mexico. It is still abit of a tourist trap but it is much more down to earth than Cancun. We found a nice cheap 3 star hotel for 660 paesos a night (for all 3 of us). After unpacking, we looked around Playa for a bit had some tacos, then settled in at the internet cafe for a mammoth blog session.
