Back in Mexico

The border crossing was a sinch, well except for the fact that they made Mark, the kids, and the dogs get out of the rv and walk across. I had to drive the rv through by myself because it is in my name. I had some difficulty with the red light green light thing, but i won't get into it right now.....it's kind of embarassing. So we were off to Paa Mul and wow, it was beautiful. We also ran into our European travellers there. They were leaving the next day though so it was a quick hi and bye, they were heading for the interior of Mexico. The kids loved the pool. We even got in on some volleyball games that were being played by some of the lifers and some of the staff. The beach was great and we found some more amazing shells. We stayed for 4 nights, but in retrospect we should of stayed longer because it was a truley beautiful place. We toured Tulum one day and got in some more ruins to add to our list. The beach there was to die for, it was pretty packed though and the waves were quite strong. We enjoyed a kareoki night at Paa Mul, we didn;t actually sing anything but it was entertaining!! We danced and had a great time. Teaghen and Rryla met some of the locals and really enjoyed themselves. We did some bike riding up the coast and got attacked by gigantic mosquitoes. I even got a run in, it was so nice. The water in this area is so amazing the sand is white and the water is just crystal blue. It was brilliant, we really miss it.!
After reluctantly saying goodbye to Paa Mul we made our way to Cancun. The rv site we had picked out for this area was just on the outskirts, we didn't have many choices actually. Our goal was not to check out the massive city of Cancun anyways, but to take a ferry across to Isla Mujaries. We checked into our site, than tucked in for the night so we could get up for a big day. The ferry ride across was abit rocky. It took about half an hour to get across. Our ferry was not the nice looking one that they showed in the brochure, but we made it safe and sound at any rate. Once there we rented a golf cart to check out the island in. So imagine this......there was a small bench seat in the front and one that faced out the back. We had myself (driving), Aidan and Mark in the front and Teag, Rry and Brooklyn in the back, oh and the 2 dogs up front with us. We must of looked like a sight because everyone was staring at us!!! We also took this opportunity to teach Rry and Teag how to drive, they loved it and did really well actually. Teaghen was abit of a lead footer though, and about as graceful at the wheel as she is on land. Rryla was much more cautious and we all felt much safer with her at the wheel. Anyways we checked out some sights and than hit the beautiful white sandy beaches of the island. Mark even got some snorkeling in and, of course, we found some more seashells!! The day was great, we headed back towards dinner time, but this time we took the big ol car ferry back. It was cheaper and closer to our rv site. We had planned to walk the distance. Mark had been assuring us that it wasn't far......well let me just say that it was HELL! it ended up being about 5 km and we started getting eaten alive by mosquitos.! I should of realized that something was up when Mark insisted on taking Aidan from me. I think he started realizing alot sooner than the rest of us that it was going to be a bit of a slog. Oh well, honestly since we were sitting in a golf cart for most of the day, we all needed abit of excercise. Perhaps it might help us sleep through the heat as well!
