Throwback to my favourite Christmas Eve so far - and yes the water was really that blue!

I’ve gotten so used to booking holidays before getting annual leave approved and it’s worked for soo long that I’m scared that whatever workplace I’m at next is gonna slap me to my senses 🙃 I can’t be the only one who does this...right?

My sister said I should start paying her for taking my travel pics and I feel like I should from this picture alone.

San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 was the first stop on my Caribbean Christmas cruise and easily one of the places that I wish I could’ve spent more time at. That’s one of the cons of cruises - you might only have a few hours at a destination and if you fall in love with it then it can be a problem because you really don’t want to leave! On the upside, you can sometimes get a feel for a place pretty quickly and then decide whether it’s somewhere you want to return to. Will I be coming back to San Juan? 100%. Why? It’s got a bit of everything - historic sites, great beaches, good nightlife, delicious food and most importantly good vibes.

island hopping.

Tulum Archeological Site📍 ⁣ The Tulum Ruins were one of the last sites built by the Mayans in the 13th century. I visited this landmark last year and have got a few tips for those who plan on going at some point! ⁣ ⁣ 1. Get there early to avoid big crowds. It’s a really popular tourist attraction so the earlier you get there the better and that way you can also avoid long queues. It opens at 8am and closes at 4:30pm every day.⁣ ⁣ 2. Bring loads of water, a hat and a handheld fan. You’ll be walking around ALOT, it’s probably gonna be hot as hell and it’s all in the open with little shade. ⁣ ⁣ 3. Do a self-guided tour. Buy a guidebook at the entrance so you can go at your own pace. There are also detailed information signs dotted around the place which gives you a lot of insight into the ruins.⁣ ⁣ 4. Bring your swimming costume. After all that walking you’re gonna want to cool down and what better way to do that than by cooling off in the ocean right by the ruins?⁣

Merry Christmas Guys 🎄🎉❤️ I hope everyone has an amazing day with friends and family. ‘Tis the season to be merry so eat, drink and enjoy! 🥂
