San Crisanto

Today is Sunday... only 10 days in paradise left! Time to catch up on some blog posts.

Dave and Deb arrived at Merida airport at the usual evening hour on Feb 21st.

!Hola!

Didn't take them long to get into the Uaymitun mindset!

One of our first excursions was to the mangroves at San Crisanto, about a 40 minute drive east of Uaymitun.

They have a new Welcome Centre this year!

We followed our guides on their bicycles to the entrance and parked

By the time our guide had us started through the channel, Dave & Deb were long gone!

Finally caught a glimpse of them on a turn way ahead.

We weren't alone... these folks were coming back... traffic jam!

Once we had arrived, we quickly got ready for a dip in the crystal clear waters of the cenote.

We were not alone!!!

The ladies were undaunted by their poolmates!

Dave said "what fish?" :-)

Four happy cenote'rs!

Having enjoyed the cenote, we started our boat ride back to the entrance.

This time we swapped guides and we were able to stay close

This channel to the cenote was all dug by hand!

Time for pictures!

Along the way, we stopped and took a short walk along the boardwalk to a viewing stand beside a pond in the mangroves...

... and finally back to the entrance.

On our way home, we stopped in Telchac Puerto for some lunch and a walkabout.

Great little restaurant near the pier in Telchac Puerto!

Somebody likes Mexico!

We had a great time enjoying the area and the people of San Crisanto and Telchac Puerto!

Watch this space for our next blog post where we visit Conkal, take in part of the "Convent Route" and see Mayapan!
