Under the sea

Sorry for being late but the second I got home last night I fell asleep!

Yesterday we did a tour and saw Tulum, a Mayan ruin, it was amazing and the history of the Mayan is so interesting. Fun fact, the area that I'm in now was only developed 40 years ago, before that people still lived the Mayan way!

We then went to a few Cenotes which is kinda like a lagoon. The first one was Xel ha which had a bat cave (the bats were actually really cute) we could snorkel into. Then we went to Akumal which is a turtle beach. We swum with turtles which was really cool, they were huge! Finally we went to Yal Ku which is a giant Cenote where fresh water and sea water meet so there were heaps of little fishies!

Then finally home time, a nap, and a fancy dinner at the italian restraint here. The food at this resort is amazing :)

Anyway better go work on my "tan" (or lack thereof, any bets I'll come back whiter than before!).

It's official, I'm an international model

Okay not really, but really. Basically just got picked off the beach to do a promo photoshoot for the hotel, nothing too interesting just 30min of sitting there in one position and getting champagne to pretend to sip and getting burnt by the sun.

Other than that nothing much happened, lay by the pool. Went to dinner, tried 2 types of watermelon martinis (the St Kats one is way better!)

Lovely warm day in Mexico and looking forward to go to the ruins tomorrow :)

Hola Mexico

Not that much today, just a 5 hour flight to Mexico. It's so hot and pretty here and the hotel is AMAZING, I thought our dollar went far in Thailand but wow Mexico is on another level.

Nothing much else to report, just super sleepy!

Wow

I genuinely don't think I've ever been this tired in my life. We rode 9 miles (approx 15km) today from Fisherman's Wharf, across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.

I can't believe I made it after never having done real exercise in my life, although there were a few tears and rest stops (I am a drama queen), I'm still pretty impressed!

Once in Sausalito we went to a yummy spot on the bay, tried clam chowder (I'm not a fan) and had yummy seared tuna with wasabi mayonnaise, made me think of jap mayo which brought me back to St.Kats :(

Once back in San Francisco (no I didn't ride back there was a nice ferry) Macy's was hit up, a cute pair of shoes later and it was time to test drive half baked Ben and Jerry's to see if it's worthy of the $13 at Leo's at home (it's $4 here... And yes it was!).

Now we've just finished packing as we head to Mexico tomorrow morning. It will be soo nice to stay put for a while, we are staying in Playa del Carmen for 8 days... All expenses paid/inclusive so Tom is going to go crazy with the food/free water sports available!

Until Mexico,

Just 1 thing

Not going to lie basically nothing happened today, except one thing.... Shopping.

Yeah my savings took a massive hit but hey pretty things make me happy :)

San Fran-disco

After arriving last night and staying at the beautiful Sir Francis Drake hotel we decided on a tour of the city to start off the day. After buying a pair of Keds to walk in (my 13 year old self is shitting herself) we spent 3 hours of ooh-ing and ahh-ing at a bunch of buildings, but I've got to say the Golden Gate bridge was pretty impressive. The buildings looked very Melbourne like as the city was flattened in 1906 by an earthquake (everything here is measured by earthquake eras it's weird).

After that we set out to Alcatraz. We did the only tour that you can actually walk on Alcatraz (not just sail around it). Did a really lame (but actually pretty cool) audio tour around the prison, they even had ex-residents speaking on it and telling stories/their experiences.

Finally a little shopping (they have a sports Calvin Klein here - its awesome) and some yummy French for dinner and now I'm just back at the hotel ready for a big sleep :)

Ps: Tom wants a quote on here... He says "don't do drugs"

Driving on Highway 1... Part 2

After all the excitement yesterday nothing much happened today, just drove from Cambria to San Francisco and arrived at 6.30pm, our hotel Sir Francis Drake is soooo 1920s deco and really cool. I would love my house to be decorated in this style :)

Lots of lame country radio stations and sleep :)

Tomorrow will be much more exciting, SanFran seems pretty cool, very Melbourne like, so I'm excited to explore the city!

Love,
