Cozumel

Finally we made it to Cozumel, the island that we see from Playa. It took almost two months to decide to take the ferry. The night before, we were walking on the beach and Oscar wanted to go to the boat, we went through a small crisis and we promessed we would go next day.

The island is wild comparing to Playa. There are some hotels, a main square in the center with shops and restaurants, but half of the island is a natural reserve. I have to say, some of the hotels, probably built few years ago, are kind of ugly. They are so tall, you even see them from Playa.

We rented a car and decide to drive around the island. We stopped for horse back riding at the Mr. Sanchez Beach Club. We did a tour in the forest and on the beach, my horse wanted to eat all the time, and Alain’s did not want to walk…but the kids loved it.

After horse back riding, we continued our tour until Punta Sur where there is an ecological park with a large lagoon on one side and the beach on the other side. We toured the lagoon with a boat and we spotted two lazy crocodiles. The trees around the lagoon were destroyed by a recent hurricane. The tree were literally burned by the excess of the sea water.

After the lagoon tour, we went to the beach which had clear water and more clear water!
