Beach Days and Tropical Nights

For the final days of our adventure in Mexico, we decided to take it easy! After touring the Mayan Ruins, check out my previous blog post for the details on that, it was time to hit the beach! This meant finding the perfect spot, under a shade umbrella, listening to the sounds of the Caribbean and taking in the salty air. Oh and being served tropical drinks and food without ever getting up! After a few hours of complete relaxation, we had dinner reservations at Chianti.

Chianti is an Italian restaurant located at the resort, Hotel Nyx, where we were staying. We made our way at sunset which was perfect timing for a great photo before heading into enjoy dinner. The service was great and the food was even better. I started with Beef Steak Carpaccio followed by the Caprese Salad, while he opted for the Spicy Tuna. For the main course I chose the Neapolitan Ravioli which was very filling. A few cocktails ended dinner perfectly before we headed to end the night with the local bartenders.

The last full day in paradise, we spent entirely at the beach. After having an early breakfast and changing into proper beach attire, we found our usual chairs which we managed to have the entire time we were there and settled in. Hours of beach time, napping, eating, enjoying fruity drinks and a few tequila shots in between was the perfect Sunday. We did take a small break so I could get my most favorite souvenir, my maracas, made right there in Mexico! The next and final morning in Cancun {insert sad face}, we managed to get a late checkout. He had some emails to get to, so I made my way to the beach for a few more hours of sunshine, sand, and sea before he joined me for our last tropical cocktails beach-side. As we were leaving a storm rolled in but it was the perfect ending to one amazing adventure.
