Today we hired a driver with a golf cart for the day. This way we can have drinks at lunch and nobody needs to drive. It was only a bit more than renting a golf cart. They cost $50 us and up depending on the type/size you rent. This may have been $30 more or so
|
First stop, on the south side of the island facing Cancun |
We stopped at a small hotel for a tour that the driver had access to. It was a fancy place. Washroom break.
Along the way
|
A few beach/lookout stops along the way |
there is a story to the house but I can't remember
We stopped at a Coop along the way for the girls to do a bit of shopping
A visit to the cemetery for me to take pictures. Not at all like home as they are put to rest in above group tombs. I could have spent all day there, so many to look and take pictures of, not one the same.
Another beach stop but this side is not for swimming.
Our driver and the girls
So many interesting art pieces
|
Us a couple of days ago. |
|
School or day care but probably a school |
A few mansion/nice houses along the way
|
Conch Shell mansion. Can be rented as many of the house on the Island just more $$$$ |
|
With a grass rooftop |
We got to the end of the island and paid the fee to visit the art work at Punta Sur which means South Point. The admission fees is something like $3. You also get to walk along boardwalk at water's edge.
The steel sculpture are rusting out as they were done many year ago but still fun to view.
|
Mayan temple ruin |
|
Cancun, this is the closest point |
|
Fish in the water |
|
A small cave |
|
No longer able to climb to the top for the views, this is the highest land point on the island
|
Zip Zipline park, the girls did not go, short on time anyway. |
|
We went to a beach club that had a great sculptures display. We almost had lunch there but we wanted to find a place where they make great BBQ fish. This was too North American for us.

Me |
A stop to visit the turtle sanctuary along the way
|
Comorant |
|
Where they keep eggs for hatching |
We found the Fish place and it was delicious. It is an unique place. Not your typical restaurant.
|
Yummy potent drinks |
|
Lots of food, is spaghetti Mexican? |
|
Type of fish we had |
|
The men preparing the fish. The special sauce that gives the fish a great taste |
|
Fish is cooked over open fire but with a steel plate in-between |
|
The final product |
|
Yes of course |
More great art work in a small town.
|
The market was not open today or was done for the day. Most time, markets are only in the morning |
More golf carts on the island than cars
|
4 on a bike is somewhat normal
|
Another stop for pictures in town before being dropped off
More beach time for the rest of the day but not many pictures were taken.
For supper we head to the main square for some street food as everyone is still full from a big late lunch. Delicious and cheap, lots of locals
