Well I truely appreciate you guys saving some snow & winter weather

We had a great time in the Mayan Riviera and would highly recommend the area to anyone.

We stayed at the Bahia Principe - Coba and were duely impressed.
The services, food, lodging, beach & ammenities were all first class.
The weather wasn't hard to take either.

It was great to tag along with Wayne & Karen.....
they're great company and know the area well from last year.

The Mayan ruins are very impressive and definitely a highlight....
We saw the ruins at Chichen Itza & Tulum.
The Tulum ruins back right onto the Caribbean and the beach there is one of the best anywhere in the world!!!
We also spent a day at Xel-Ha....
It's a commercialized "eco-center" and was great for neophyte snorkellers to explore.
Lots of spectacular fish to see.. from Barracudas to Stingrays.

The worst part of the whole trip was saying goodbye to Wayne & Karen...
They're still there for another week.

Hah, just checked out the pics; they look good.

Sorry about the weather. I know, it's a pisser.

Glad you guys had fun.

 

Great pics Ian. I've been to the Caribbean side of Mexico twice, and have always enjoyed the weather, food, and the trips to the ruins. Your resort looked like it was one of the high-end ones. 5 star I take it?

 

Welcome back, Ian.....looks like you had a great time....Love the beach and the Tulum Ruins.....

We saved a little cold for you so you wouldn't forget what we went thru back home.....

Bahia Principe rocks!

 

I heard they don't allow people to climb the pyramids any more. Glad I did it a couple years ago.

 

Yeah they stopped it a couple of years ago..... too many people getting hurt.
If you every stumbled near the top...

The B.P. is definitely one the best resorts we've ever been in

 

Welcome back Ian. Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing them. No doubt you didn't miss any of the Canadian weather while you were down there. The BP looks like a fantastic resort. I've been to the Mayan Riviera a few times and I wouldn't hesitate going back whatsoever. Did you happen to go swimming with the dolphins at Xel-Ha? That was one of my highlights when I was there in 05. Btw, Wayne & Karen are still there for another week, correct?

 

Beautiful pictures Ian. Wayne looks relaxed. So how long will you stay this time.

 

Yes.. & worthy of the rating

 

LOL... Thanks Colin, I apreciate the thought

 

We passed on the Dolphin swim..... snorkelled most of the day.
Maybe next time

& yes those lucky ducks are still enjoying fun in the sun,
they return next Saturday.

 

Hey nice pics Ian. I actually made it throgh them all. Good to hear you had a great trip. I imagine it was hard to pry yourself away from there especially with Wayne and Karen staying. I hope to see some of the area myself in a few weeks during our cruise day trips.

 

Sounds great Deane...
What are some of the ports of call?

 

Hey Ian,

Welcome back to the cold!!!

Get pics. I'm sure that you didn't want to return so early. The weather and the beaches look awesome.

Glad you had a great time with Wayne and Karen.

Cheers,
