Camping Madness in Cancun
August 2000
Unwillingly having to spend a couple of days in Cancun, we headed for
the youth hostel as the cheapest option in town.
After pitching our tents by the beach, the
resident drunk Gerry, who we were told was harmless, declared his
love to the girls. At first easy to laugh off, he became
increasingly intimidating and eventually quite
hostile and abusive. Not wanting to spend the
night there, with this nutter wandering around, we took the tents down
and made a quick escape. The youth hostel still wanted to
charge us 20 pesos per person just for using their
showers! The seemingly had no regard for the safety
of their guests as they made no attempt to rectify the situation. To
our knowledge the "Jackyl and Hyde" that is
Gerry still wanders at the youth hostel, so
beware!
