Sunday 21 June.
We get up and have a light breakfast before heading out to the meeting place around 8. It's about 40min, but we are picked up and off we go. I thought we were taking a boat to cancun, but apparently not. It's about an hour drive. We have to stop because one of the guys is feeling ill. I'm not sure from the driving or a night out or illness. We arrive at the back of something, A hotel I guess, and wander onto the beach and to some desks. A man meets us and looks at our ticket, and tells we are in the wrong place and we need to go two marinas down. We wonder how it's possible as we got in the van same as everyone else, but apparently are ticket says somewhere else. We are feeling a bit unwanted and wander down the beach. We do come to some more desks and we stand in line to have our ticket checked. We are not on any list and we explain our story. We step out of line while someone rings up. Eventually we are allowed to pay and get boarding passes. They have to take us as our ticket has their name on it, but it seems the mix up is of unknown cause. We are the last boarding, but the boat is very nice. A cat. We head out and we are given info and directions for the day. The water is amazing in colour and it's a sunny day. We are offered non alcoholic drinks as we are going snorkelling when we reach the island. When we get close we get into the water and snorkel as a group. It's a bit weird in a group with a guy yelling directions. There are tropical fish and coral, and an odd museum of a car and some statues. The snorkelling was over quick! Not quite what the salesman sold us on. Back on the boat Malcolm goes up on the spinnaker. Not very high though coz there isn't much wind. We head around to a buffet lunch -only ok- then off to the island 'downtown'. We walk to the beach and enjoy the cool water! On the way back the photographer talks into some of his photos. Back in shore we have trouble with finding a ride back again with our ticket troubles. Again. Not on any list. After a phone call the lady recommends we go back down where we were dropped off. Thankfully the driver there is waiting for us! Whew! Off we go. We enjoy a pancake dinner and a good nights rest!
