BACK IN ISLA MUJERES AND THE WHALE SHARKS

WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR ALMOST A WEEK AND ARE RECOVERING FROM OUR SUNBURNS. WE ARE STAYING AT POSADA DEL MAR AS IT IS ACROSS FROM THE BEACH AND HAS A LOVELY POOL AND AIR CON!

A FEW DAYS AGO WE WENT ON A DAY TRIP TO SEE THE WHALE SHARKS. THERE WERE 7 OF US INCLUDING RYLAN. IT WAS A NICE BUT ROUGHRIDE AND BY THE TIME WE FOUND SOME WHALE SHARKS 3 PEOPLE WERE BEING SICK.

THE WHALE SHARKS WERE AMAZING, IF MY EYES HADNT BEEN STINGING FROM THE SALT SPRAY I THINK I WOULD HAVE CRIED AT THEIR BEAUTY! WE TOOK TURN WITH TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME SNORKELING WITH THEM. THE CAPITAIN WOULD IDLE THE BOAT NEAR THEM THEN HE WOULD TELL US WHEN TO JUMP IN. THE FIRST TIME MEG AND I WERENT NEAR THE FISH AS IT WAS SWIMMING FAST BUT THE 2ND TIME WAS SO INCREDIBLE. I HAVE VIDEO BUT I CANT SEEM TO PUT IN ON THIS BLOG, I AM TRYING FOR FACEBOOK. I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT'S GIANT GILLS AND IF I HADNT READ THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THEM IF WE TOUCH THEM, I COULD HAVE RIDDEN IT! IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND THRILLING TIME.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT IF THE OCEAN WASNT SO ROUGH THAT DAY, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT THEM FROM THE BOAT AND ENJOY THEM WITHOUT FEELING ILL. ON OUR WAY BACK WE WENT THROUGH SO BEAUTIFUL COLOURED WATERS THAT HAD MANY BIG/GIANT TURTLES. AND AS IT IS THE SEASON FOR 'TURTLE LOVE' WE HAD A GOOD SHOW!.

NEXT WE ARRIVIED ON ISLA CONTOY, I HAVENT BEEN THERE FOR 5 YEARS BUT THE SAME STING RAY COMES INTO THE HARBOUR AND LETS US PET AND HAND FEEL HER. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE HER!

WE HAD LUNCH HERE AND RYLAN FED LOTS OF IGUANAS AND A FEW HERMIT CRABS AS WELL AS THE STING RAY.

IT WAS A GREAT DAY, WE LEFT HERE AT 8 AM AND DIDNT RETURN UNTIL 5 PM. SURE GOT OUR MONEYS WORTH!

OTHER THAN THIAT WE HAVE BEEN HANGING AROUND. WATCHING THE HOCKEY GAMES AND ENJOYING!

LIFE IS GOOD. SEE YOU SOON.
