So today it was off to Mexico. Sad that we couldn’t spend more time in Belize but we decided that rather than half do two things we would try and see a bit more of Mexico. Plus all the pictures we were seeing and all the reports made the decision seem like a good one.Continue reading “Bacalar”

Bacalar to Mahahaul
We awoke to more bad weather but that didn’t deter us from going and seeing our first Cenota (sink hole). The water was a deep blue but when you looked in it was crystal clear. A little thunder storm turned up but the water was really warm so we decided to still go for aContinue reading “Bacalar to Mahahaul”
Day of rest In Mahahaul
Since we first arrived at Mahahual Sarah had decided that we were taking a complete day off to just lie on the beach and relax. It was a pretty special place to be able to do this the sand was beautiful and the water was an amazing array of blues. As we were staying rightContinue reading “Day of rest In Mahahaul “
Tulum
We reluctantly packed our bags and headed out of Mahahual but not after a last swim in the beautiful turquoise waters.

Billed as the cultural capital of the entire Peninsula. On the way we wereContinue reading “Merida”
Chichen Itza
As I have mentioned before we aborted our first attempt at seeing Chichen Itza due to the huge amount of tourists. Apparently numbers have increased dramatically ever since it was listed as one of the seven modern wonders of the world. We had been told that most of the tourists arrived at about 10:30 orContinue reading “Chichen Itza”
Isla Mujeres
Just off the Cancun coast there is an island called Isla Mujeres. Friends that we had met along the way had raved about the place so we were pretty excited. We caught the ferry over and were again in awe of the crystal clear water. I can’t get enough of it. The island had beenContinue reading “Isla Mujeres “
