Isla De Mujeres

(Updated with picture the 29/1)

Im currently on an island called Isla de Mujeres. A very nice small island just outside Cancun(Mexico), in contrast to cancun, Isla de Mujeres seems very authentic and actual. Of course there are many tourist but there are no fancy gigantic hotels, and instead there are a lot of backpackers. I've met loads of interesting people so far.
Today, I biked around the Island together with a guy from Sweden and another guy from Germany. Very beautiful island and the people are very nice.


The hostel (Poc-Na Hostel) is fantastic, and extremely chilled. Its located right onto the beach - and the atmosphere is really relaxed and chilled. I spoke to a Dutch backpacker yesterday, who just finished his education as a journalist and on our way out to find some food for dinner, i told him about out project in sierra leone and he got very interested and thought of joining. I can really feel what advantages it has given me, that I have been in a country that is far less developed that Mexico(red. Sierra Leone) and that I speak some spanish. Many of the other backpackers dont speak a word spanish - and I can really see how they are handicapped by that. I already feel more comfortable speaking, and I guess itll only become better as time passes by. Hopefully.

I promised i'd upload some pictures. But I dont have my camera with my right now. So i'll have to wait untill next time. But dont worry..they'll eventually come. At some point....
I guess thats all for now.
My plan for tomorrow is to spend a day reading a book on the beach, but as so many other things itll might change. who knows. Maybe something interesting shows up....wouldnt surprise me.

Hôla mi hijo!
Isla de Mujeres lyder dejligt, må vist hellere tage en tur tilbage. Glæder mig til at se billeder derfra. Knus mamsen (fra et gråt Denmark)
