Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Sunday Session podcast with Francesca Rudgin
from News Talks EDB Travel with Wendy Woo tours where
the World is Yours for.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Now and joining us from Mexico. Megan Singleton, Good morning, Hola.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I very much appreciate your time this morning. I understand
you were boarding a plane, but let's talk about Cancne.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
And Cone was amazing. So we've started our two week
tour in Cancne with four nights there. And I think
the main reason you go to kN Koon mainly Americans
go to find flop at all inclusive resorts, to visit Chitchenetsa,
which is the big ancient Mayan pyramid about two and
a half hour drive away. And we also went to
this incredible water park called Shalah. And I've actually just
(00:57):
put a blog up this morning so that you can
look at the pictures. I haven't quite finished all the
text yet, but I did have to get rescued, but
that's another better and Sandrune was waterfall, but you can
see why it's popular. All inclusives is so good for
group travels, families, friends like I'm here leading a group
of fifteen. It's so easy when you can just go
(01:20):
to twos which restaurant and go to each night, all
alcohols included, and all the results along here are like that.
So I mean, it's just been amazing. And then we
went to Mexico City, which is actually the airport that
I'm standing in right now, so I'll tell you all
about that next week. And then we're off to Lost Carbos.
So oh, excuse me. So it's been a fantastic, fantastic
(01:41):
trip so far, Megan.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I've taken a look at the photos, and there are
these extraordinary water holes that you've been swimming in.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What are they That's called the sinote and they are
basically sink holes. So the whole of the Yukotan Peninsula
here in Cancun is flat and it's limestone, and these
are just water holes down under the underground and you
can swim in them, and they have places all of
(02:08):
giving you a getting the fresh water. Some say there
were places also of human sacrifice, you know, sorry, but
the brave ones among us they jumped in and had
a little swim, as you'll see from those photos. Very
popular thing to do for a little bit of a
cool off in this weather.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And some ruins to visit as well.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, the ruins are incredible. We didn't get to Tunum,
which is another place of great ruins, but we sort
of felt ruined out a little bit with chichen Itza.
So hopefully that will that will suffice everybody's are ruined pinchant. Yeah,
and then no, we just absolutely loving it and all
the Mexican food and all the lovely greetings and much
(02:47):
of glass. Yes, we're having just the best time, so glad.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So it sounds like Cancn is the kind of place
where you can go. It's easy. You've got the great resorts,
but you can also get a bit of culture and
do the ruins and have these other experiences.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, totally. And you know, there's a lot more to
it than what I've just seen just written up the
post of what to do, and so the three days
and some shopping, and it's also all the beaches and
you don't spend time in your own resort. I could
think you could probably do four or five days here
and that's probably about enough for you. And then on
to the next amazing mix of condestination.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And you just need to explain why you had to
be rescued at a water park.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh well, I got in my little flotation device and
then the currents got up and the winds got against me,
and I'm kicking away with my little shoes on, and
suddenly they watch was decided me to drag me in then,
which was so good to go so over it. Everyone
else managed they got they gotten a different channel for me,
but it really is if it's a great kids start.
When we went with adults, fantastic adults like it's all inclusive.
(03:53):
You've got buffet, restaurants, includes your bears too, keen shots,
anything you like.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And that was Megan who is literally getting on a
plane right now, so we thank you very much for
her time there. U listen to Matt Heath and Tyler
Adams afternoons from tomorrow because they've got a week of giveaways.
There's a daily prize of five hundred dollars up for grabs.
But the biggie you could could see you and three
friends heading to Neway for seven night Pacific adventure, which
(04:24):
sounds pretty good to me. Here to Newstalks ab dot
co dot m z Ford Flash Adventure for all the details,
and make sure you are listening to Matt and Tyler
afternoons from Monday to be in to win thanks to
New a Island, it is twelve to twelve.
