Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Mexico at last. The water really is as blue as in the pictures, it´s 28 degrees and it took just 5 seconds of paddling for me to forget all about the hours and hoursit took to get here. I´veonly just got the time difference sorted out, all day i´ve been an hour ahead of everyone else which explains why none of the people I was expecting to meet for dinner were there! still I met some other lovely people and had a great evening with them.
