    A Day Trip to Puerto Morelos and the Best Omelette I Ever Ate

    Who knew that the sleepy little fishing town of Puerto Morelos would have the best omelette I’ve ever tasted?

    Add in some crystal clear aquamarine water, a few fishing piers, a crazily tilted lighthouse, barracudas and hawksbill turtles, and we found the recipe for a great day trip.

    The DIY Guide to Snorkeling with Endangered Sea Turtles in Akumal Mexico

    The Mayan Riviera has a reputation for being expensive and touristy. There’s some truth to this, but it’s possible to check out some of the best sites in the area for not much more than the cost of decent latte. The little beach town of Akumal wins big points for delivering one of the coolest attractions in the area for almost nothing: snorkeling with endangered green sea turtles.

    Cenote Cristalino and The Nibbling Fish

    Contemplating a plunge in Cenote Cristalino, Playa del Carmen? We headed to this gorgeous cenote from our condo in town. It was also our first experience with the local collectivos buses. In all, it was a great day and a wonderful place to laze away the hours.

    To those who haven’t yet been to this area, a cenote (say-NOH-tay) is basically a large (or small) freshwater hole composed primarily of limestone and fossilized coral. They essentially get created when the water level drops and the rooftop caves in revealing a pool of crystal clear water. Because these pools are often connected to extensive underground rivers, they’ve become very popular with cave divers. Some of the deepest can go down for…

    Cozumel and The Taxi Mafia

    When we woke up this morning to beautiful sunny skies and no wind, we knew we needed to make the most of it. We’ve been thinking about a day trip to the nearby island of Cozumel since we got here but then our lazy streak started and well, we really didn’t feel the need to go that far to have an enjoyable day.

    After a quieter time than normal yesterday we were all itching to get out and see the world this morning. We had scoped out the ferry terminal last week while we were in that area and had a pretty good idea what to expect for the first leg of our journey.

    We managed to get the kids ready and were out of the house around 10. Both ferry lines (UltraMar and Mexico Waterjets) run pretty mucheach hour during the day and we were gunning for the 11 one. After a quick $2 cab ride to the bus terminal (it’s the closest drop off point to the ferry terminal) we walked the other few blocks to the ferry.

    It seemed every person we passed (and there are lots in that small distance) was asking us if we were going to Cozumel…
