Cozumel, Mexico Wednesday, November 8, 2017
Larry and I had been to Cozumel 8 years previously and we recognized the thatched roof on shore that still remained.
We left the ship about 4:00 that afternoon....it was a lot cooler and fewer people out and about. We planned to rent a scooter to go into town for the evening so we started hiking into town, about a three mile jaunt.
We thought we were back in Cuba when we spotted this oldie....it really was a flat piece of cardboard.....the sign beside it told exactly what sights were the area.....
nice sandy beaches....
lots of motor bikes and scooter shops along the road....they were shut up tight so we ended up walking around for the evening.
We saw a lot of little souvenir shops....
dive shops....
and art along the way.
and cute little huts to relax under when the sun was high in the sky.
We made it back to the terminal in time for a little Jimmy Buffet time.
The pilot boat greeted us going into Cozumel around noon.
Larry spotted six other cruise ships in port so.....
we decided to let the sun sink a little and relax on the ship until later in the day. We were told that many cruise lines have turned their ships toward the western Caribbean because of the hurricane that hit the eastern islands.
The beaches were coral and rocky.
There were lots of bars and restaurants along the way...
The Cozumel Lighthouse
We enjoyed a lovey sunset on the beach
before heading back to the ship
The evening was gorgeous.
Cozumel had dressed up their town with better paved roads and this fantastic walk along the beach
The ship pulled anchor at 9:00pm setting sail for Tampa, Florida with arrival scheduled for Friday.
Our final sunset Thursday evening over the calm seas of the Gulf of Mexico. What a lovely trip!
