It was a rainy day in San Pancho so we headed to our much-loved restaurant to utilize the wi-fi. There, as we took pleasure in our lunch of turkey sandwiches, we got a FaceTime phone call from one of our travel buddies:
“Hey guys, want to satisfy up at the end of January?”
“Sikker! Hvor?”
“Yucatan area?”
“Yep, let’s make it happen!”
And so began the planning process of satisfying up with two of our finest travel friends. We very first satisfied Bernie as well as Toni-Lee when we were in the western desert of Siwa, Egypt back in 2011. We hit it off instantaneously as well as the long, 8 hour trip out to the desert was full of the chatter of nye venner.

Manzanillo Colima – The utmost travel Guide
We’ve considering that satisfied up with this couple in 7 different countries around the world – Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Nepal, Mexico, China & Canada.
Meeting as well as interacting with people is one of the most extraordinary elements of travelling. The bond produced between travellers is indescribable, so when we got the phone call from Bernie, we understood we had to make the effort to satisfy up again, this time around in the south of Mexico.
A excellent reunion!!
During our trip around the Yucatan area in 2014, we had heard of Isla Mujeres, however instead made a decision to venture to Holbox Island. this time around around, we didn’t want to miss out on the Island of women as well as made a decision that would be the best location to spend a week with our friends. Now, don’t get as well excited, it doesn’t indicate that there are women around the place, it’s just what the translation is in Spanish ?
It had been 17 days considering that we had swam in the ocean, as well as although we absolutely adored the colonial cities of Guadalajara, Guanajuato as well as Mexico DF, the white sands as well as remove waters were calling us.
We flew from Mexico City down to Cancun, as well as getting to the island from the city was simple. We made our method to Puerto Juarez as well as bought return tickets for 146 pesos each ($10USD). The incredibly quick ferry had us flying over the turquoise water as well as coming to the island in about 25 minutes.
An satisfying trip over to the island
As we hoisted our heavy backpacks over our backs, as well as stepped off onto the dock, waves of enjoyment flooded over us. There’s just something about the beach, as well as in specific the Caribbean, we absolutely like it! We virtually ran to our guesthouse, hotel Las Palmas, as well as couldn’t wait to satisfy up with our friends.
A note as well as hand-drawn map was left for us “I’m at the beach, Bernie is diving, see you soon! Love, Toni” We stripped down, altered into our bathing fits as well as promptly headed to the prominent as well as sensational Playa Norte (North Beach).
Although the beach was packed with people, the appeal of it still shined through. Powdery white sands were lined with palapa styled beach bars as well as towering palm trees. The water was exceptionally clear, warm, shallow as well as totally risk-free for swimming. After browsing with the people, we identified Toni. We greeted each other with large hugs as well as chosen up where we had left off last year in Canada.
Playa Norte Beach
The week that complied with was like a holiday for us. Days were full of lounging on the beach, enjoying some tasty regional as well as western food, as well as walking up as well as down the streets as well as waterside promenade. This cement pathway is the best location to choose a run, or just a stroll in the early morning or evening.
Nick as well as Bernie have been dive friends considering that Egypt as well as were delighted to be reunited under the water when again. The diving diving was remarkable with around 20 – 30 meters visibility! lots of fish were spotted, in addition to lobster, turtles as well as eagle rays. during this time, Nick logged his 65th dive!
Diving with Squalo Adventures on Isla Mujeres
A prominent mode of transportation around the island is by method of golf cart, which was the best way for the four of us to Sjekk ut denne 7 km x 650 m øya. Etter å ha navigert på metoden vår ut av den travle nordenden av øya, endte veiene opp med å være i det vesentlige tomme.
Vi sjekket ut skilpaddenes helligdom (som dessverre var mye mer som en dyrehage), stoppet av i en nydelig kirke med glassvinduer, en fargerik kirkegård så vel som den sørligste ideen (Punta Sur). Dette var området vi tok en beslutning om å glede oss over piknik vi hadde pakket – guacamole med tostadas, pastasalat med grønnsaker samt tunfisk, hardkokte egg samt Cantaloupe var på menyen. Maten, virksomheten så vel som utsikten var alle fantastiske.
Det beste området for en piknik!
Punta Sur er det sørligste punktet på øya så vel som det østligste punktet i landet. Hvis vi skulle stå der om morgenen, ville vi være de aller første menneskene i Mexico for å oppleve solen stige … men alle av oss forstår at det aldri ville skje!
Vi tenker imidlertid ekstremt på solnedganger så vel som av en eller annen grunn, alle ryddet av stranden i løpet av denne tiden, og etterlot bare oss to, så vel som et par lokale for å glede seg over solen som dypper bak Cancun i avstand.
Rocky Cliffs så vel som fantastiske hav ved Punta Sur
Etter å ha sluppet ut på stranden, spist velsmakende mat så vel som drikkemetode samt mye margaritas, var det på tide å gå på. Fire av oss hadde en mye mer natt sammen i Cancun før de avskjediget måter. Jeg stiller spørsmål ved hvor vi i all verden vil tilfredsstille neste gang?!
