Isla
Mujeres 2015
Day
13
Woohoo…it’s
golf cart extravaganza day! Up
with the sun….
Vince
and Keith head out to get the cart and by 1015 we are enjoying brekkies at
Mango Café…
Elisa
and Vince have a stuffed chilli…
Keith
has huevos rancheros…
I
didn’t need brekkie after a big dinner last night so just enjoy the refreshing
ginger lemonade. Gracias Polo for
a wonderful meal and great service!
We
cross the street and walk behind the church to enjoy the view….great spot for
sea glass hunting but not today….
Continuing
on our trek, Elisa is off to do some shopping at the Women’s Bead Co-op. While she shops I take in the church…
We
make our way to Punta Sur, hoping that we’ve made it there before the
crowds. Nope, the parking lot is
filled to the brim with other golf carts, yikes! We’ll forgo the cliff walk and just enjoy the scenery…
And
then get a little goofy….why am I the one schlepping the big bag??
View
towards Cancun…
A
short drive and we decide to check out La Joya…..driven past here many times
but never wandered in. There was
no one to ask if it was okay so we were quiet and quick…..beautiful spot. Very scenic and very quiet….
Back
on the cart….time for a drink at Capitan Dulches. Love this place!
A hidden gem as it is usually not very busy. I am always so grateful that they have not fallen victim to the
tourist day trippers coming from Cancun. There is live music, great food and nice service. Friendly staff and immaculate
bathrooms! We make many stops here
during our holiday, but next year, we must come back and spend the day.
The
guacamole is excellent!
We
take the usual drive down Sac Bajo just to see any changes there and then
venture into the colonias and Vince just has to give a tummy rub to this little one….
We
stop at the Super Express and run into Sergio of Limón and he graciously
invites us back to his restaurant just up the street. We’ve never had the pleasure of eating at Limón but after
seeing these critters we make a reservation!
Back
on the cart we chug up the hill and back to the east side road, stopping in to
see our friends’ penthouse at Isla 33.
What amazing views in every direction!
After
wine and chatter, we decide on Oscar’s for dinner and meander down to the dock
to find a nice table next to the water. Keith
and Elisa have ziti alfredo with chicken….looks delicious!
This
little kitty was ravenous so we just had to share a bit of our pizza with him…
Our
pizza was yummy with enough left over for tomorrow!
A
great day spent touring this little isle with great friends….we finish it off
at home with a nightcap and a vicious game of Sequence! Thanks for a fun day amigos!
