Diego The Drinks Duck

I dunno how Aimi took so long to pack this morning but after breakfast I was straight out and enjoying the sun and pool for as long as possible. After all, it was our last morning here!

Thunder Yawn

Last full day on the Riviera Maya, Mexico and the weather man had predicted full on tropical storms. Luckily we are leaving tomorrow.

Scuba Snaps

Today we are diving with Condor again and his photographer friend Diego. It wasn’t very busy so we had the boat to ourselves and could go anywhere. Anywhere we could see TURTLES!!!!

Up and out early again today to catch a taxi to Akumal. We thought we might be late as the taxi took a while to show up, but everything is tranquilo in Spanish countries. We rocked up and hung around in the shop till the boat came back in with our instructor for today.

Refreshing Dive

I’m never going to get tired of having breakfast outside. It’s something that I really love doing as often as possible because we have a great view from our patio. But it’s England, so only when the weather’s good enough, there is direct sun and I can convince Aimi it’s warm enough. It just makes breakfast that little bit more special, like you’re on holiday staying at a quaint little B&B. This holiday we have had breakfast outside pretty much every day, and not only outside, but on the beach, under palm trees and the morning sun. I could get used to this…

Personal Pool

Once again we went full Holiday German and got out early to nab a sun bed, by the pool this time. It took some strategic thinking about what to leave out to mark our spot that was cheap enough it didn’t matter if it got nicked, but clearly indicated the bed was taken. An old pair of sunglasses, sun cream, sarong and some nearly finished drinks… that should do the trick.

Turtle Tailing

This morning we were up and out on an excursion to see another Cenote and try and swim with wild turtles.

Sun Burn

Well I did something wrong… and now I’ve got sunburn.

ATV’s and Caves of Swiss Cheese

A short minibus ride from our hotel was an adventure camp, after succumbing to the sales pitch and purchasing some extra insurance (because I planned to drive like a nutter) we hit the trails on 450cc ATV’s. They were automatics and could pick up some speed if the instructor would get out of the way…

Pressure’s Off

Waking up this morning, I looked across at my bride to me, neck chubb bunched up under her chin as she flicked thru her phone. She turned to me and smiled with that smile I love, the one that she does with her eyes that wrinkles the bridge of her nose in embarrassment (And I’ll likely never see again after she reads this!)
