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!

Exit post #2 this time! We´re about to take Mayo to the airport so here´s a little coverage on what we did in the last few days. Let´s see, hmmm, right… ehm… not much! After Rio Lagartos we made another effort to get to Isla Holbox. Once again: no bus! 2 seconds of thinking (accumulated) made us decide to go to Isla Mujeres instead. We don´t understand why everyone is so lyrical about the place, you might as well call it Little Cancun. Anyway, the beach was OK and we got to chill out a bit. After all things have been so intense… ;) Oh yeah, the turtle farm was nice and so were some ruins we visited. Pity they locked us in and we had to climb over the fence to get out, which then again was good fun!

Our third effort of getting to Isla Holbox succeeded and we got to stay in a real mellow place, a crossing between a campsite, cabaña-thingies, dormitories, hammock-hotel etc! Holbox is way more laid-back than Isla Mujeres and we decided to stick around a bit longer. Some walks down the beach (the entire beach is over 27km long) took us along some very interesting spots, such as mangroves and weird sandbanks. The latter can be decribes in one word: surreal! See pictures of course :) Another short horseback riding trip was fun too, mainly because Mayo´s horse started kicking the **** out of Rene´s. Anyway, even Rene didn´t fall off and the scenery was nice too!

At this moment we are back in Puerto Morelos (anything is better than Cancun ;)), in a situation as described above. Enjoy the short series of kitsch pictures. Take care!
