Mexican last resort

Here are more details about the Mexican vacation. The last batch, I promise. But there will be more about Mayapan later as there is much to discuss on that front. For now, here are some resort pictures, pictures from Xel-Ha, and some iggy pictures.

First, the resort. Penny sent emails several times. It was a freeby with our package.








I found things to do while I waited.








Then we walked around outside the building with our room. There were about 8 rooms on each side of the building, and many buildings.





The rooms were very well thought out and perfectly cleaned.







We never felt crowded.








Welcome to our Xel-ha tour, a day-trip.



Xel-Ha is a lagoon where the underground river meets the sea. The water is brackish (semi-salted) and the fish life is a wonder. I took an underwater camera snorkelling. Great fun (lousy pictures), I hope you get the idea.


Snorkelling is pretty good - not as good as on a reef, but not as dangerous either. We saw fish and snorkellers as we sat at a bar having a beer. Weird.






The place is lovely and tries to be eco-friendly. Never mind.








And here we are drifting down the river in an eco-friendly manner.

Iggies abound.
This was iggy #1, the first one we saw as we walked around the resort after breakfast. We just about had a fit when we saw this first one, but after seeing another every 20 minutes or so we realized they are very common.

There are lots of other lizards, but the iggys are the largest.

This last one was at Xel-Ha. The largest we saw. Check out the small berries stuck to his scales.
