Waking up with roosters crowing and all manner of bird noises and everything around us, wet. It rained last night but I don’t remember much, as I crashed. This camp has been blasted out of the jungle and the digger used to fashion a road…er track, is rusting away nearby. This…
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…
Right now we are seated on the American Airlines flight 158 at Miami Int. ready to depart for Cancun, Mexico. It’s 2.30pm, the flight departs at 2.50pm and there has been no feedback from the luggage crew to say our box with the fridge repair kit, has been declined to…
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…
A little rain on the roof this morning and temperatures are cooler. Around 23degC. Being Sunday and with much less wind, there are no kite surfers to interrupt our lazy morning. By 10am we had breakfasted and were packing up our gear ready to head into Cancun airport for the…
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…
It wasn’t long after we emerged from our mobile residence this morning that a car pulled up beside us telling us that they needed the spaces we were parked on. It’s a smooth flat surface that is obviously prone to flooding. They hold Kite surfing school that requires quite a…
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.…
It looked like three brothers were running this cenote business. Whether they owned the land or just set up shop around the hole, is unknown. It is an amazing cenote though. The cavern is huge and there are stalagmites and stalactites throughout. The water is chrystal clear with a slight…
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…
