The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

A hotel and shopping center under construction are rushing through the night near the harbor. The season is already there. Most tourists take a day tour from Cancun. The wind is strong and the weather is bad. Even though it is not the rainy season, it rains well and the sea is rough.

The hotel is "Cabaña Maria del Mar" along the white sands of Coco Beach Complete a simple check-in and pay a $ 150 security deposit. A light blue tape is wrapped around the arm to serve as a mark for guests. Everything seems unreliable. The location is often a few minutes to get to downtown.

Hotel rates are cheap because the season is off from January to February. Tourists come at this time, and I am one of them. Arrive at the Island in about 40 minutes.
The Islanders use a one-way boat for 25 pesos (170 yen).

 

It was 500 years ago that the Spaniards discovered the statue of the Maya goddess and named it. An elongated Island (total length 8km) on the opposite bank that can be visually identified from Cancun. My reserved ship is the worst among the new high-speed ships "MAXICON".

There is little traffic at night.

Snorkeling is the main at the marine park. Large waves are rushing due to strong winds. His all-inclusive "$ 59", which was empty on the reef, seemed cheap and expensive.

Go to the Island's most popular "Dolphin Discovery" and the marine park "Galaphone". You can play with dolphins in the sea. It's a very popular program, but I'm not interested in it. Dolphins that swim naturally are much better than fenced dolphins. It looks like I'm watching a dolphin show.

When I approached to find a cool ship and take a picture, a whistle, sounds. The Navy is stationed here for border security. I completely forgot about the territorial waters. When you think of the Caribbean Sea, you think of pirates, but there is no sign of that. It's a developing resort area. I like lonely Islands better than luxury resorts.

The restaurant near the pier is a barracks-style restaurant from a long time ago, and the number of customers is few. Rental golf carts run on the road, and empty taxis stand out. Walk slowly and stroll around the island. Twice High-speed boats and black-painted boats are moored on the outskirts of downtown.

At the marine park, you can't enter the sea due to big waves
