Early to bed tends to mean early to wake up, certainly when your body clock is 6 hours adrift! We had been told, the night before, that we needed to meet Carlos at 8.30am which we had thought was going to be a real challenge! It wasn't, in fact we had even managed a leisurely and generous breakfast beforehand. Carlos had many things to tell us, probably most important (but least interesting) is that we would be charged £40, or it's Mexican equivalent, to leave the country at the end of our stay - ouch! The rest of Carlos' information referred to trips and visits we could make. Since there were only 8 of us this was short, very informal and no stupid people asking unnecessary questions. All this meant that before 10am we had decided which trips we wanted to book, and were headed for the beach.

The rest of the day consisted of sun bathing, sea bathing, shade bathing (otherwise known as sleeping) eating and beginning to work our way through the long list of cocktails on the menu.
