Hi guys,a while since i,ve been on site,just got over jetlag.We had a nice time in cozumel,the people are really friendly,but if you go there watch out for the shop owners on the front strip, they will try to overcharge you as much as 4 x the prices,barter hard,there is a lot of competition.The tourist industry is SLOWLY getting back to normal so the businesses have been hit badly (maybe the reason for the high prices),also a lot of poverty in the back streets,but surprisingly very cheerful people.
We met tony,a great guy with lots of helpful advice,fingers crossed that the embassy will soon be finished and things start picking up,good luck mate.The weather there was really hot so if you go for a trip make sure your accomodation has aircon.We found the food was excellent and the prices were reasonable.The only thing we did not like was the 24 hours it took us to get there,3 planes, a coach and the ferry,arriving at midnight, a lot of stress.
