We just got back from 10 glorious days in Mexico! Our resort was south of Cancun and the weather was great - only 20 minutes of rain the whole time we were gone. And we missed the rotten weather here at home.
We went on a catamaran cruise one day with 12 other guests from the resort. The first picture is of our guide Pepe. Pepe and his crew treated us like gold. He escorted a group of people on a snorkel expedition to a reef and then treated us to a delicious lunch on the public beach. After which there was time - and the weather permitted - rides on the spinachter. I chose just to watch as I value my life too much to do that. But the people who were brave enough had a thrilling ride. Pepe even brought up a Star Fish to show us. It was immediately returned to the sea.
There were a number of "locals" hanging around. I was surprised at the size of one of the Iguanas. There were also a number of smaller ones lounging around. I did take a banana and grapes to feed them one day. They do like their fruit!
We were treated like Kings and Queens by the staff. It is a smaller resort so that everyone knows your name on the second day, what you like to drink and eat and that you like the salt and pepper on the table. All the guests were like friends at the end of our 10 days. We had dinner out with a couple we met from England and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
But we did have to come home to reality. -13C when we landed and tons and tons of snow and ice.
There's no place like home...
