The beaches at Cancun are breathtaking, some of the best I have been on. |
The parasols are a definite must on this beach with temperatures of over 30C. |

First real day of sun and carrying too much weight. |
Time for a beer to quench the thirst after an energetic afternoon lazing in the sun and swimming in the Caribbean Sea. |
A typical square in downtown Cancun. |
This is where I had my first Mexican meal on the evening that I arrived. |
A great place for breakfast the waitresses wear these traditional multicoloured balloon like dresses. |
|
A memorial in downtown Cancun situated in the middle of a large traffic island where I had a little picnic. |
The group sets off. After a long walk from our hotel, here we all are at the bus station in downtown Cancun watching over our bags, rather hot and impatient to get going. |
These fellas up the pole swing around; it’s apparently a tradition
here in Tulum. |
Our first glimpse of a Mayan ruin, this is Tulum on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. |
A view of Tulum, you can see the turquoise sea in the background, the Mayan site is perched upon the top of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean sea. |
|
Our guide at the Tulum Mayan ruins, he spoke very slowly and precisely. |
An impressive view of the Tulum Mayan ruins. |
A view of the beautiful white sandy beaches of Tulum, taken at the end of our guided tou, from the cliff top where the Mayan ruins were. |
An impressive view from the cliff top at Tulum. |
The view from my window at our hotel in Tulum. |

Leaving our hotel at Tulum packed and ready for our next adventure. |
At the border crossing having just left Mexico and passing into Belize. |
Arriving at the border crossing into Belize from Mexico. |
The bus stops and we grab some refreshments. Typical picture of a town (I think it was Orange Walk Town) in Belize with a statue of Queen Victoria in the middle of the street |
Wandering about in Orange Walk Town waiting for bus driver to decide to go on a bit more. |
|
The hustle and bustle of the water taxi area of Belize City. |
We get onto our water taxi in Belize City, this is the life. |
Another view of the water taxi area of Belize City. |
This is real “James Bond” stuff as we speed along getting very wet in our water taxi from Belize City to Caye Caulker. |
Looking back from the boat to Belize City as the sea taxi gets up a
bit of speed. |
|
Ready for our sea food meal cooked on the BBQ at a reputed restaurant
in Caye Caulker. Drinking a local “pink” brew!! |
During our meal in Caye Caulker. Still checking out the local brew. |
After our meal in Caye Caulker. Having had quite a bit of the “pink”
stuff. |
