After a weekly stay we left Isla Mujeres, took a ferry to Puerto Juerez and a collectivo (local bus) to Cancun, then changed for Playa De Carmen. Took a ferry to Isla Cozumel. It took as approx 5 hours. The distances are not big but the journey takes always ages. It looks like the Traditional Mexican charm is gone. This place is fully dominated by Gringos (Americans). The food in the restaurants is crap, all junk food. Plenty of price hotels and even a hostel (bed friends) seems to be a hotel. Just for 1 bed is 30$ which is totally unacceptable in Mexico while usual dorms cost 10$. Even if it looked like there is no way we could free camp we found just a perfect spot by the coral sea. We are camping under the palms in a park on the beach near by a very chilled out local bar. Maybe the one we are lying by is not that local. But still is very relaxing and nicely immersed in the colour of torquiest water and coral rives. Cafe Del mare opens very late around 10.30am therefore if you are an early bird then it's not s place for you to have a breakfast. On top of that the service is very slow and the food average, I would say the Mexican food is not their strength. Definitely I wouldn't recommend the chilaquiles as they were made from leftovers and for a dog rather then for people. Really bad choice in terms of food, but a great choice for a drink and chill out on the mattresses on the beach. The day after each trip we feel tired so we need to chill out and just rest. Swimming, sleeping, sunbathing and eating is our motto. According to what we've been told the colours of water are impressive because of the coral rives. The torquiest warm water is inviting to stay there for ages. The colourful fish and corals are amazing to watch while swimming. It is an island worthy of visit. Tomorrow we will rent a scooter (30$) and will across the island to the spectacular white sand deserted beaches. Apparently there is nobody and nothing but the nature. The beaches are wonderful but a little Cabañas style bars/restaurants are all packed by Americans. We went to one Cenote (natural lake) to catch up with crocodiles and it was nice experience to have just in front of us the crocodile. Thinking that it was a fake one after it opened a big mouth we didn't doubt it any more. The island Cozumel is the biggest one (40km) comparing to the previous ones we visited such as Holbox (4km) and Isla Mujeres (20km). It took us 7 hours to ride a scooter around and stop by the beaches. Puenta Sur - the most extreme southern part of the island was interesting because of a rasta- men Caribbean style Cabañas (hats) and cool all sorts of t-shirts hanging on to the walls and from the ceilings. The charm would be bigger if it wasn't all overtaken by loud heavy drinkers and junky food eaters Americans. Unfortunately Mexicans instead of promoting their lovely traditional tacos, empanadas and quesadillas dishes are taking over from tasteless American fast food. Neither the less there is still some space left to enjoy the most of Mexican experience if someone wants to. Over the Puenta Sur (southern point) there were nice Caribbean white sandy beaches with turquoise water. The characteristic of Cozumel island is the cristal and transparent blue Caribbean Sea colour water with a white sandy beaches on one side and the corals riffs on the other side. The corals side is the most populated, this is where all the cruisers and ferries stop by. The other beaches side is only reachable by bike or car if you rent one. We weren't impressed by the island so far because it hardly looked any different from Florida. All totally developed. We spent 3 nights there and the last morning I was attached by termites. I've ended up with infraction all over body with huge spots and if that wasn't enough day earlier the current was really strong therefore I ended up trapped by thousands of jelly fish with lots of burned marks across my body. There is always some crazy experience on each island and each place we end up. Let's see what's going to happen on the way to Belize down to Bacalar (still in Mexico).
