Whoop whoop here I am again! Back to solo-traveling, back to a lack of logic! First of all I´d like to apologise for the last post down here; it´s the worst viewed post ever… and with good reason, I admit! Anyway, my bad, but here´s another thing: this one is probably worse! The key reason: I´ve just mainly been scuba-diving (yes! +4) which doesn´t really provide a lot of opportunity for wonderful photography with the gear I´ve got. Anyway, I felt like I should write at least something … you gotta do what you gotta do right? ;)

Entonces… ¿qué pasó? I took off to Isla Cozumel, world-famous thanks to this guy. Diving is the norm, the weather was good and the place is extremely cancuned (Thanks Twan, I love that term!). Nonetheless, I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Certain people will understand what I mean if I say “this place is boomin´!” The diving was great and so was the company at the hostel I stayed at (see below as well ;)). Oh, and the showers are a legend: first time I burnt instead of froze in a shower in Central America!

Anyway, though my addictive personality keeps me stuck in many places I have now arrived in Mérida; on to cultures, fiestas, cenotes (love ´em!) and A LOT of local flavour. In other words, on to a better post!

Write soon again!!

Isla Cozumel - CANCUNED!

El equipo - the guys that made staying there so much fun!

Mascotte - really didn´t have that much to take pics of!

… or whatever way you’d like to pronounce yet another word for “island”! Arright once again! After almost a week of gray skies, it’s time for a little more sunshine, blue skies and oceans, palm trees, reggae, yah man, etc! (Look here for more terminology!)

After a little bus-and-boat ride we arrived on Caye Caulker, home to everything which is slow, sunny and very Caribbean! Time to continue enjoying the sun, swimming, snorkeling and … surprise … diving! The first few days mostly consisted of “decelerating” - after all the motto down here is to go slow. This appeared to be pretty easy, even wildlife seems relaxed when approached! We also made a brief visit to San Pedro… Madonna might have fallen in love with the place, we sure didn’t!

Our “plans” sort of separated after a while; Mayo went off to do an Open Water Diving course, however due to a cold she could not complete it. Yes - Caribbean nights can get chilly - trust us! She’s happy to receive some comforting messages from you guys though ;) René (that’s me!) on the other hand did another six good dives at the Turneffe Atoll, the famous Blue Hole and some other keys (or cayes…). Yep - the diving counter has really started rolling now! :)

Right now we’re off to the jungle again, back on the mainland (in the hills, even…). Our main “concern” at the time being is where we should be celebrating Mayo’s birthday (Jan 27 people - don’t forget! ;))! Any suggestions are welcome or course! And again, enjoy the pictures and to all you guys in Northern America and Europe - good luck with the weather!

Take care!
