Yucatan 2017

Trip List Calendar

2017-02-19 : Isla Mujeres
Today we explored Isla Mujeres on foot. We didn't get as far as we'd hoped because we ran out of water and we got slightly waylaid with a visit to the Ice Bar. We paid our admission (plus drink) to go in (wearing their funny iceman cloaks) and got good and cold. Then, we went next door for a snack, then we came back for one last "dip" before moving on - and gave the iceman cloaks a miss. It was pretty awesome.
Our place on Isla Mujeres is a second-floor apartment above the house of our host. It's on a main road. We have a deck that faces the street. There's lots to watch in the evenings, with people and animals and traffic, but something we find quite captivating is a 'northern lights' display. There's a wall across the street that has a light that shines on it from a distance. There are palm trees between the light and the wall. As the trees move, they create an effect on the wall that looks EXTREMELY similar to northern lights. Fun!


2017-02-20 : Isla Mujeres
Brent Stephens didn't get to do a dive on Isla Mujeres. It's been too windy for divers to go out safely. Poor Brent. We'll just have to take a do-over.
Today we walked downtown to take care of a couple of errands (including finding out that there were no dives going out). Then, we hired a cab to take us all the way to the south tip-ey tip of the island to Punta Sur where we had a look at the Mayan ruin and the sculpture garden, and the spectacular scenary. Then, we walked back to town for another full day of island exploring on foot.


2017-02-21 : Cancun
Our last day on Isla Mujeres and our last full day in Mexico. Sad. We walked all over Isla again and drank some cervezas. Now we're chilling at a low key hotel in Cancun waiting to go home in the morning.


2017-02-22 : Fly to Edmonton
