Last night we had a firefly attach itself to the tent. We spotted it when we went to the bathroom. Then we came across frogs hopping all around us. This morning we had a dragonfly in the Caranex, which Charley and Jaxon tried to catch. I think it got squashed…
Our last day in Mexico. Tomorrow we head into Belize. A pretty lazy day. Everything is washed, Poki has had a clean and we are rested and ready to head to a new country. Great excitement half way through the morning. Jaxon caught a fish with his net. He’d been…
I was quite disappointed to leave our site by Laguna Bacalar at Buenavista. However, the consensus was to move on. It was a shame that the weather was overcast and it was quite muddy, due to the previous night’s rain. The Lagoon is very beautiful and in sunlight the water…
Leaving Isla Blanca, for the second time, we headed into Cancun to restock with provisions. At just after 9am the kite surfers were already in the air with more arriving all the time. We stopped at the large bin by the exit to relieve ourselves of some of the packaging…
A very short night. Dennis’s phone alarm woke me at 4am. (He of impaired hearing, couldn’t hear it!) Mine failed to go off. In fact I couldn’t find the phone, but eventually found it under the mattress when packing up. Neither of us felt like moving. After cornflakes and granola…
Not a lot to report today, I’m afraid. It was a very bad night, as we were nearly blown away by the wind. We had had to move pronto, as the tide rapidly approached the Carinex tent. Dennis has reported on our difficulties keeping the tent from blowing away, when…
We have missed out Chichen Itza, probably the most well known Maya ruin in Mexico. Having already seen a number of sites and fearing Chichen Itza would be heaving with tourists and expensive to enter, we decided to pass it by. There are more ruins when we get further south.…
We have now visited 4 Cenotes. They are all completely different. Yesterday afternoon we stopped at Cenote X’ux Ha. Dennis stayed in Poki working on his blog, while the rest of us went in for a swim. More sophisticated than the others we have visited, hence the 75 peso entrance…
Another day on the beach at El Cuyo. We were awake early to use the internet before too many other people logged on. A good signal was necessary to book flights to Miami. Yes, we are going to Miami next week to get a new compressor for the fridge and…
A slow start this morning, leaving about an hour after Tim and Sarah. We had arranged to catch them up in the evening in El Cuyo. Heading north to the coast at Rio Lagartos, we stopped in the village of San Felipe, as we found a strong wifi signal and…
