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?”
“Bien sûr! Où?”
“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 nouveaux amis.

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).

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.
Plage de playa norte
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 Découvrez cette île de 7 km x 650 m. Après avoir navigué sur notre méthode hors de l’extrémité nord occupée de l’île, les routes ont fini par être essentiellement vides.
Nous avons vérifié le sanctuaire des tortues (qui ressemblait malheureusement à un zoo), nous nous sommes arrêtés dans une belle église avec des fenêtres en verre, un cimetière coloré ainsi que l’idée la plus sud (Punta Sur). C’était le domaine que nous avons pris la décision de prendre plaisir dans le pique-nique que nous avions emballé – du guacamole avec des tostadas, une salade de pâtes avec des légumes ainsi que du thon, des œufs durs ainsi que du cantaloup étaient au menu. La nourriture, l’entreprise ainsi que les vues étaient toutes merveilleuses.
La meilleure zone pour un pique-nique!
Punta Sur est le point le plus au sud de l’île ainsi que le point le plus à l’est du pays. Si nous devions rester là le matin, nous serions les tout premiers personnes au Mexique à découvrir le lever du soleil… mais nous comprenons tous que cela n’arriverait jamais!
Nous pensons cependant extrêmement aux couchers de soleil ainsi que pour une raison quelconque, tout le monde s’est éliminé de la plage pendant cette période, laissant seulement nous deux ainsi que quelques habitants pour prendre plaisir au soleil derrière Cancun dans le distance.
Les falaises rocheuses ainsi que la mer époustouflante à Punta Sur
Après s’être allongé sur la plage, manger de la nourriture savoureuse ainsi qu’une méthode de consommation d’alcool ainsi que beaucoup de margaritas, il était temps de continuer. Nous avons tous les quatre eu une nuit plus ensemble à Cancun avant de se séparer. Je me demande où dans le monde nous satisferons ensuite ?!
