Isla Mujeres Travel Blogs

  Denial is not just a river in Egypt... This was my last day on Isla; and in fact, my last day of the trip full stop - but I couldn't think about it, I just couldn't.  The last couple of days had taken me through some sort of time warp... it had seemed much longer than that, and yet I …

Today was a fly by the seat of your pants kind of day. My mom was in a pissy mood so we left her at the hotel. I guess watching a third of your retirement go out the window can do that to a person but it was still annoying enough that we took off without another thought.We bussed it to the embarcad…

It's a wonderful country! I spend great time there! It seems that in Mexico you can find everything :) Amazing, beautiful nature, very interesting culture and many unforgetable excursions, high-level hotels, night clubs etc. Everybody should visit this country :)

We have now arrived at our first destination, the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres.  Our plane left Detroit around 7:30 for Cancun, which we stomached for about 5 minutes before leaving Puerto Juarez for a 25 minutes ferry to the Island of Women.  The Poc-Na hostel was just a short walk f…

An other early morning for us;) but that had a goooood reason, we wanted to swimm with dolphins today, this was our bithday present from our parents cause they gave us some dollars and it was just enough to pay the swim with the dolphins;) and since we didnt need dollars anywhere else it was great…

After waking up at a reasonable hour to catch our continental breakfast at the hotel.  Glenda and I spent some time at the pool just relaxing before we all decided to do a tour of Isla Mujeres on our own without any tour group.  By some research, I knew that the best way to get over there…

Women's Island With a name like that, it has to be good, right?  Well, the name comes from some Mayan goddess figurines found on the south of the island by the Spanish.  But enough culture - it was the last three days, so party and beach time.  I met up again with a chap called Tim …

I´m sitting in an internet cafe in Isla Mujeres on my own, for the first time in over 5 weeks. I´m starting to type, and I don´t know how long this entry will be. I have so much to tell you all, and I´m unsure if my vocabulary is up to explaining the last five weeks, and what théy´ve meant to…

Three dives today: Grampin, Tunel Reef and Chairel Shipwreck.Grampin was a reef dive with a maximum depth of ~60 feet. There were tons of fish, in big schools and smaller groups. We saw angelfish, barracuda (these seem to be everywhere in the waters around Isla), trunk fish, and damselfish. We saw …

Today we woke up early because we wanted to visit Valladolid before getting a bus to Cancun. We saw the calle 41A, el Zocalo and el Cenote Zaci. After that we went back to the hotel to get our bags and went straight to the bus station. We took a bus for 3h to get to Cancun. There because of the wea…

It was dark and raining by the time we arrived at Puerto Juarez.  Spent the night at Pocna upstairs in the nicer rooms.  I´d stayed here before and it is well worth the extra couple dollars for the real mattress, fan, more space and less people.  Didn´t really socialize a…

This pretty little island is just a few miles off shore from Cancun and was named after its previous owner: the Mayan moon goddess - a woman.  Isla Mujeres has many beautiful coral reefs perfect for snorkeling and is home to a population of sea turtles.  Cubans like to stop here on t…

My month in Mexico
