Jan 30, 2007 Valladolid, Mexico

Ole,
Having a great time yet again. Soaking up the sunshine in the tropical paradise on the Yucatan coast of Mexico. Crystal clear blue waters, breezes, relaxed attitude, lots of american and ´´American´type resorts here. We are loving the sea and the pace.
We spent a week at Sue´s time share and that was great - rather like a cruise - even the towels folded like swans and stuff on the beds every night. Then stretch classes on the beach, aquasize, meditation and so on. Very insulated but nevertheless, a wonderful time.
Then we went to Isla Mujeres which used to be a bit of a hippie haven. A great island with lots of casual restaurants, beautiful fine sand beaches and crystal clear waters. We have been snorkelling. The reef is not in great shape there, however we saw quite a few fish and enjoyed it. People say that there are less fish than some years but hey, I love it and it´s all good.
After a few days there, we started to travel today. Caught a second class bus to a Mexican colonial town and situated ourselves in a nice colonial hotel. Second class buses here are awesome - a little different than Indian standards - much to Clive´s relief.
Tomorrow we will get a bit of culture at some ruins and swim in a cenote (underground river with pools).
