13 May 2007 Cozumel
Yesterday we caught a ferry from Playa del Carmen to the carribean island of Cozumel. Supposedly the snorkelling and scuba diving is world class here. Unfortunately when we went snorkelling off a boat yesterday we were very dissappointed, we saw very little coral but quite a few fish. Apparently much of the coral was destroyed during Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
Today we decided to check out the rest of the island via scooter which was a lot of fun. We found many great beaches and found a remote restaurant where all the locals were having their sunday lunch. I got lobster while Pils and scratcher opted for the Snapper (turns out I may have made a wise decision, that night the two were vomiting non-stop) after lunch we played football on the rocky/sandy beach. Unfortunately during the game I managed to sprain my left foot. On our way back into town a tropical storm started to build, then just as we hit the outskirt of town the storm hit. It was kind of like having buckets of water thrown at you while riding through a wind tunnel. We rode through the storm for about 10 minutes until we
got back to the scooter shop.
