Mexico...Isla Mujeres

This is the view of a moonrise from the balcony of our place on Isla Mujeres, (meaning isle of women), a tiny little island just off the coast of Cancun that is six kilometers long by one kilometer wide and is infamous for the pirate and slave trader whose name was Munduca.
It is also the second to last major stop for us before returning home, so I was quite determined to do quite a bit of relaxing at this place. The plan was to do half a day of laying on the beach in the mornings and half a day of "other stuff" each day for the duration of our time here, and it pretty well went to plan for the main part of our stay.

It is close to being a perfect setting being right on the tip of the island and right on the beach, (the open ocean side, not the Cancun side) ...........we have a week here so were able to cover the entire island quite well, and the two main modes of transport on this island are, scooters and golf buggy's (of which we hired one of) and drove around the entire island in an afternoon, including stopping to go snorkelling, have lunch and doing general sight seeing as well, so that gives you a good indication of the size of it.
