Cozumel: The Good
Cozumel was awesome! This is the story of the good parts.
After a long plane trip, an expensive meal at Senor Frog's, a ferry to the island and a cab ride to the resort, we had arrived. We got these cool little wrist bands that let us do anything we wanted for free! Of course we took full advantage of that.
Our rooms were beautiful, HUGE and the back patio lead out to a connected pool. I got to swim over to Mike and Jackie's room to bother them into drinking with me. The pools had water slides that went straight to the main pool with the swim up bar. Guarberto "Wallace" was our bartender for the whole week, he was such a great sport.
Our favorite restaurant was Mosaic where we had a lovely waiter named Jesus. He lit our drinks on fire and we had some lovely Pad Thai. We ate there mostly but there was a buffet and a couple other restaurants that we could choose to eat at. Great food, great drinks, great times.
We also made a lot of friends with this new game we learned called Liar's Dice. Many a late night ended with the words, "There are twenty-five dice on the table".
At the water you are allowed to use the snorkeling gear for free so we did that. I am really impressed with my underwater camera! It took some great underwater pictures while snorkeling and never broke down. We also took a catamaran to snorkel out in the reefs. We saw turtles and lots of neat fish, and even a shipwreck marker!
The last couple of days were spent shopping and checking out the Myan ruins. There were a lot more ruins than I was expecting to see, really cool! We also went to a restaurant called Coconuts (visualize a sign with two coconuts wearing a bikini and a sombrero and having nipples). It overlooked the sea from a cliff and they had some great conch ceviche.
We took a tour of a tequila tasting room that gave some history and information about making tequila. Yummy!
That is the story of the good. There will be two more blog posts in the following days, stay tuned!
