We have now visited 4 Cenotes. They are all completely different. Yesterday afternoon we stopped at Cenote X’ux Ha. Dennis stayed in Poki working on his blog, while the rest of us went in for a swim. More sophisticated than the others we have visited, hence the 75 peso entrance…
First up, Happy Birthday to Deirdre, my eldest daughter. Hope you have a great day Dee…:). it’s wont be long before you have caught me up..:) Today we are changing camps. It’s been a brilliant place to stay but it’s time for a change of scenery. It wasn’t long after…
Another day on the beach at El Cuyo. We were awake early to use the internet before too many other people logged on. A good signal was necessary to book flights to Miami. Yes, we are going to Miami next week to get a new compressor for the fridge and…
The day has dawned. Another one out of the box. Warm, sunny and a wind of about 5 knots from the NE. By 12.30pm it’s 30.4deg C and rising, with 73% relative humidity. We have a great camp site, about 600m from town and 100m from the beach, with…
