So after a brief but interesting pool party experience, we are actually not feeling too bad the next morning so after another good workout we head to find another beach club to try out. This time we head to Zenzi bar, the food is amazing although sadly the service is slow... Although to their credit they do tell us they are having issues so not too bad I guess.
Helen orders ceviche which is amazing, to be honest it looks a lot better than the ceviche I had in Peru. The food is delicious, and we also get to grab a sun lounger after as well. After yet more relaxing we take a walk to find some stuff to do for the rest of the holiday... Well basically I want to sail, and I know there are hobbie cats here so we wander around and find a good tour guy on the beach, well at least we hope he is!!
We sign up for a special deal 1/2 day express tourism to Tulum ending up on Paradise beach, then 2hrs sailing and snorkelling. Perfect, we keep going down on price till basically we get a price we are happy with. It's the only way to book these things, just keep getting them to knock down the price or go somewhere else. Personally as long as you don't feel ripped off, it's all good and I think we got a good deal really.
Satisfied that our days are happily filled, we head back to get ready for a night on the town. On route I book us up in a lovely restaurant Mosquito Blue, now yes that is the same chain as Mosquito beach, but I'm just hoping the service is better. Luckily it seems to be even just booking the table, so I'm hopeful we will have a good evening.
Dinner is divine to be honest, and perfect really. Mosquito Blue is Italian, so I have a lovely Parma ham starter and blue cod main course which just melts in the mouth and not too heavy. A quick drink in the hotel, then it's off to La , tonight DJ m.a.n.d.y is playing and Helen and I are keen to hear him, mainly because we saw him last year for my birthday and it was a good night so just trying to relive the memories. Also, seeing as every night we hear the club music it's about time we went to see what all the fuss is about!
We stroll in, waiting to be asked to pay the cover charge, nothing.... We head up to the terrace which is really lovely open bar area, the music is good and its a good crowd gathering although still quite early. I head out to find out what time Mandy is playing, to which not even the staff know... But it sounds like 2am ish, so it's going to be a long night...
We get talking to various characters in the bar, most of whom seem to be Mexican, this is a pretty popular spot for Mexicans on holidays and with spring break it's pretty busy, most people say that about 70-80% roughly would be Latin American rather than American or European coming here which is quite interesting. There are a lot of locals too just finishing work and heading for drinks, in fact as we wander round we basically meet everyone who works at the hotel... With a surprisingly warm welcome, we now seem to be flavour of the month!!! All of a sudden we became cool!!!
One of the best moments had to be Helen approaching the DJ box, "Where's Phil? When is he playing?" like he's he bessie.... "Errr he's just coming, will be on in 20mins..." , then when Phil AKA M.A.N.D.Y comes up its "Phil, when are you playing, we have been waiting all night and only came here to see you" .... "emm, just coming on now, I will do my best " ... Well thats good to know!!
It was a really great night, a funny moment when someone introduced themselves by singing Abba.... Well I guess if your name is Fernando what else would you do!!! At least as we head to bed the music will no longer be playing... except of course the ringing in our ears.
