We did not overimbibe, much. I was probably the leader in that category, but was always the first one up, so after the venture to Playa, we were off to Isla Mujeres....hike to the bus stop, ride the bus to Puerto Juarez, and pay our $7.00 round trip fee, and wait, so I clicked some pics,heres a boat bringing in "Todays Catch"
Back up a bit at the dock, and the lighthouse tower looks like it might have a restaurant on top....? Anyone?
The ride was pretty smooth, we got a seat on the top deck, in the sun, the breeze, and very little spray or bounce. I would assume most of the readers here have done some sort of boat ride in the Roo, and the water in Cancun Bay is as blue as you could imagine, or hope for!
So, we land on Isla, I have my trusty Can-Do Travel Guide with me! Off to look for Sol golf cart rentals, and lo and behold, they moved since my map was printed, but off we went looking for someone with carts....Hey, lighten up anyone, it's not Laura or Perry's fault if the map is not 100% up to date, stuff happens, we found Cardenas carts, price was right, off we went...but, it was a dog! I think a dog passed us once! FYI, saw some Sol Carts out there, and passed by their new location, but cannot remember which street it is on this far off vacation....someone else will know....we headed south out of downtown to explore, gotta love the Topes when you are on a golf cart for 4! Turned right at the Pirate Mundaca park, and headed back north, looking for the Turtle farm, as Marie and I had been there @ 3 years ago, while on the Dolphin Discovery boat trip......it was pretty neat then, it still is.....these little guys were in under the roof, and swimming like champs! No predators here!
These guys were outside, a lot larger.....
These were outside also, and sooooo cool to see swimming, doing fine, waiting to hit the high seas!
We left there after about a half hour, which is about all you need, and headed north to see......nothing, we were hungry, and headed south to lunch at Playa Tiburon, it was closed, being rebuilt to a very grand scale, so further south to Playa Lancheros, where we met a couple that we had met 4 days earlier at our hotel, they were doing the same thing we were doing that day, touring, and eating and drinking.....! Playa Lancheros was like a tour bus stop that day, except the vehicle of choice was golf cart! No photos here, we had chips and pico de gallo, they were out of guacamole
Did not understand that....they do have an awesome grill/barbecue area/pit, but I question the fuel source....looked like green treated lumber to me...but we were fine, off we went south!
So, fueled with beer and chips, we needed bano's....so here we found some.
At Punta Sur...with the little snack shop and parking lot with vendors...
After about $200 was spent by the women in that parking lot........
we headed north, past the dump, oops, sorry, the Garbage Transfer Station, on the east coast of the island, I was in search of the Villa Las Brisas, as they had responded to a couple of emails about single night stays, and since we did not opt for the stay, I figured a few beers bought by us would pay for the conversation...what a nice place to visit! You need to stop there if you are on a tour of Isla....
