We had two legs on this trip. One week in Cancun and one week in Cozumel. The Cozumel part of the trip was OK but there were some drawbacks. The beach that our bungalows were situated on was small and part of it was rocky. Also there were jelly fish that came in so would have to be careful. The sting from them is painful. The resort was quite isolated and we did not plan on renting a car on Cozumel as we did at Cancun. So in order to go into the little seaport town of San Miguel we had to take a taxi which was a little expensive. We did twice though and had a fun time in that lovely town.
There was a great restaurant in our resort that we dined at morning, noon and night. I so love the happy hours in Mexico. Two for one means two drinks presented to you at the same time. It is odd sitting with four drinks on the table when there are just the two of you. However the happy side of that is you are not always waiting for a waiter.
The bungalows were quaint situated along a curving sandy path lit by tiki torches and palm trees. Our beds were turned down each evening by the maids and little chocolates were placed on the pillows with fresh carafes of water on the bed tables as well as bowls of fresh fruit on our little patio table. Yes I said beds.....twins in all the bungalows. Well we made do.
In Cancun in were in a high rise hotel on one of the top floors with a view out over the pool area and ocean. It was a huge room with king bed, partial kitchen and great balcony. There were two amazing restaurants in our hotel,and an array of beach and pool bars. We enjoyed the huge pool complex whereas the Cozumel pool was small and warm. Not inviting for swimming as when the ocean is always 82 degrees it is nice to have the option of a cool pool.
We let our travel agent talk us into this arrangement as she loved Cozumel but you know different folks enjoy different things. In retrospect we would have preferred to spend the entire time in Cancun. But we learned to rely on our own ideas on future trips.
So my hubby will be working late this evening so I thought I would make us breakfast for dinner. I am going to prepare spinach omelets and cheese toast. Something light as it will be a later meal.
It is time to bake again today. I think I want to make a simple white cake as I did buy sherbet yesterday, the rainbow mix. So I just need something classic and plain to go with it.
The fog has not lifted as yet. When it does I am hoping for blue skies. Yesterday turned from gray to blue in a few brief minutes. I so enjoyed the sun yesterday. A short walk for a breath of wintry/spring air was refreshing. The afternoon was lovely indoors with the sun finding it's way in through the slated blinds making patterns on the floors and walls.
Oh I was so lazy yesterday afternoon and it was a welcome reprieve from being buried in the mounds of papers complied for taxes. Today I return to the office to put all my figures down in the tax booklet. Then a couple other items to calculate and I am free!
So my day today is to get that chore done and bake a cake! Not a bad day at all.
At the moment I am off to toss some clothes on this body and get to it.
The weekend awaits. We are both longing to get that little trailer hooked up to the truck and head out on a little adventure. But my honey is working tomorrow and the weather is not cooperating for a camping trip. Must wait.
You all have a nice weekend.
