With the end almost upon us, we’d taken the unusual decision
to do less, and skip the Mayan ruins at Coban and Chitchen Itza (amongst others
– the Mayans got about a bit!) and head to our final destination, Cozumel.
Caught the ferry across to the island after a beer on the beach at Playa del
Carmen, where it was difficult to avoid staring at a seasick family… wouldn’t
recommend it!

Cozumel is an island paradise, and a world renowned dive
resort. We’d heard about the 50+m visibility, taking it with a pinch of salt,
but on our first outing into the blue quickly realised what all the fuss was
about. Eagle rays featured on all 4 of our dives, along with numerous turtles,
extensive hard corals, a couple of lone barracudas, black-tip reef shark, lots
of schools of fish sheltering from the consistently strong currents and the scariest
looking green moray out of its hole that you’ve ever seen. We were giving it an
especially wide berth after hearing about one going after the dive master the
day before!

| Hard not to relax when this is your view |
With the mornings taken up with diving, we spent the
afternoons in ultra-relax mode, soaking up as much sun as possible. Not being
sure when we’d be sunning it up again, and hearing that we’d be returning to a
snowing/wet/flooding/freezing UK meant we savoured every last ray.

Key Learnings:
1. The live singer at the Blue Angel had a few female fans vying for his
attention….we left before the end of the set, so who knows how the rivalry ended!
2. Large tequilas and flans are an added gratis
bonus to any meal at the Blue Angel. The quality of the tequila is questionable...
