Cozumel x3

So....it has been a while since I have last posted but I have been rather busy...in fact...Sofia now only has one nap a day for about 1.5 hrs...and that would be considered me time :-)

So what I have decided to do in this blog is write some combined ports....what do I mean....well, this is the third cruise (week) that Sofia and I are onboard the Jade....so we have visited Cozumel, Mexico three times....and we always do similar things...we find a nice place to go and eat....or have something to drink....

The first time we were in Cozumel we were at a different port (just a little bit further away from the main city)...one I had not been to before...that was quite nice...we also discovered that our favourite spot, Margaritaville has in fact moved to that part...so that was quite convenient and of course we had to go and visit....have one of their famous Margaritas and their famous guacamole. Here they do not have the guacamole cart though...damn...but the guacamole was still very delicious...and so was the Margarita. The place is very nice...80% under roof, but open on all sides, so you feel like you are outside...feel the warm breeze...great location...time to share some pics....

The second time we visited Cozumel we were back in our usual port AND it was my birthday....this time we made our way into the city and tried a new place on the main square. This was a great place for Sofia to run around (no cars and lots of space) and she LOVED it. There were a lot of birds which she could chase, the waiter was so nice, he brought a bowl of uncooked rice which Sofia could feed to the birds, of course loving it. The food and Margarita was also very yummie....we had a conch ceviche and of course nacho chips with salsa....it was a great birthday lunch...let me share some pics...

The third time we went out early in the morning, so we were not in the mood for savoury food or Margaritas....we decided a coffee with some sweets would be great...and of course in an area where Sofia could enjoy running around....we ended up choosing Starbucks just outside the port because it is one of the only places that has cappuccino and their sweets looked very good....we shared a carrot cake...and man, I can only recommend it (but definitely sharing), it was rich, sweet, with nuts and it was just AMAZING....let me share a pic...

So yes, for us, Cozumel has been about food....not so much the beach....but we enjoy it and Sofia also enjoys it....so why change it...hahaha. So this is Cozumel so far...there will be some more stops there...but next blog will be about one of the other ports...either Harvest Caye, Costa Maya or Roatan..let's see what tickles my fancy....for now though...cheers and we chat soon.

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

Image
This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim.

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
