Isla Mujeres, Mexico

A series of strange events led me to think that this story deserves a blog all of its own. Yesterday we were sat in the crystal blue waters of Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres.

mummytish That zipline canopy thing sounds soooooo amazing. Your brothers/cousins will be jealous, bet it was even higher than the one they built in nana's garden and hurtled Kella and Lottie down when they were small! I quite fancy the boat, turtles (dolphins?!), beach and cocktails thing too ...... such a contrast to the miserable airport experience. Well done gals, Emma will make such a good lawyer. Love the blogs, can't wait for the next entry. Loveloads. xxx

Ridhi Hey hey!! WOW, i'm sooooooooooooooooooo disgustingly jealous of your trekking experience, it's something i've always wanted to do! I can't wait to hear about it first hand...in Spain, whilst sipping Sangria! hehe much love to you all (even though i've not met emma) and can't wait to see the two of you in Asturias, with travel stories to swap! Can't wait for the next installment much love Ridhi

Colin the Dad Well done girls that sounds like quite a stroll! Remember alcohol on the days leading up to an arduous trek doesn't help altitude sickness but I guess you've worked that one out? Hope you get some good well earned R&R on the beaches of Costa Rica. I have given Seb your email address Lottie as he flies out to Panama on Saturday but how close you will be I havn't worked out. Have a wonderful time and hey the photos you've posted on this site are simply stunning!
