Mexico

We're just back from a splendid two weeks in Mexico, staying at the Riu Palace Las Americas. This was my first trip to Cancun, and I'm not going to write at length about the things we did. However, I can thoroughly recommend the hotel. It was friendly, clean, with excellent food and service. The hotel has its own beach, which is cleaned every day and of course the turquoise waters are beautifully clear and clean.

We flew with Thomson and the fights were all on time and pain free - and I even enjoyed the safety announcements which were done by children. If the airline could improve one thing, it would be to get the service out of the way quicker on the return leg so that passengers had a chance of some proper sleep.
