Cozumel

With a Mexican heart and a Caribbean soul, Cozumel is a paradise where tradition, flavor and joy come together. Famous all over the world for its coral reefs, there are plenty of water sports such as diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. Cozumel's mostly undeveloped territory at the center of the island is covered by jungle and swampy lagoons, which are home to tiny mammals and endemic birds that have never left the island.

After spending too much time trying to coordinate bus to airport, bus to Playa del Carmen, ferry to Cozumel, we opted to rent a car and drive ourselves. It was raining on the way over but stopped about an hour after we arrived. We were met by Laura and her mom Beverley. We rented scooter and went around the whole island in about 3 hours. As we stopped for gas, the sky let loose but were stayed high and dry. Fun day.
