I was drugged and robbed solo traveling in Tulum, Mexico - Be careful friends!
This fucking sucks but all they got from me was like $80 US, one credit card, and my new Google Pixel 3.
It was super strange. I went to this bar twice before on this trip. I partied with the GM and the manager on my first night. They were really nice and genuine. They welcomed me to town.
But on Saturday I went around 9:45pm. I met these two sisters from Dallas. I even saw my tour guide from the day before. I sat at the bar and I bought them all a shot of Mezcal. Yes, I was drunk but I wasn’t wasted. I work in the alcohol business and I've been in this industry for over ten years. I know my limits. I know when I've had too much. I wasn't even close. Plus, my hotel was maybe 100 yards down the road.
The bartenders smoke weed at the bar and would light a joint and pass it to all the patrons. I’ve smoked there before and over 15 people were smoking.
The last thing I remember was around 11pm. I was sitting at the bar, talking to the sisters, when everything just goes black. My hotel said I came home at 5:30am yelling, waking up other guests, and claiming that I wanted more Mezcal.
Apparently I tried to break into my hotel room, because I didn't have a key.
I have absolutely no recollection of anything. I woke up in my bed at 10am.
I was covered in bruises all over my knees, elbows, and hips, like I fell down, a lot.
I have a vague recollection of stumbling down the street, but who knows when. I don't remember anything from between 11pm and 10am. I woke up without my phone, money, or keys. The owner of the hotel said this wasn't the first time this happened from guests that went to this bar. It was actually the third time this year. One woman showed up naked on the beach after going to this bar.
I'm trying hard not to victim blame myself. I've been drugged at a bar in the US once before. It's horrifying and scary. You lose large amounts of time. You question yourself. Did I just get too drunk? Well, not when you wake up without a hangover. Not when you are incapable of walking for 10 hours. Not when you have a horrible "come down" at 8pm the next night.
Getting drugged sucks. Getting robbed sucks. But it's not my fault. However, I can be more careful in the future.
Be careful friends!
