Day 9 (Cruise Day 6)

MEXICO.........OK this day had to be mine!!!!! (STAUM) only because we where in Cozumel, Mexico... BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!! Okay, well that morning we woke up pretty early.... Got off the boat, took pics, and walked through all the stalls selling Mexican goods, the adults decided to rent a car for the day to go and explore the island, we ended up with two fantastic FUN fire engine red jeeps....we started off by taking the roof tops off (of course) it was sooo hot and  then we where off!! lol.... so we drove around mom, luli, matt and fern had Margaritas in a coconut at a stall on the beach along the way ...... just saying but it was 'delicious' :D .......oops secret is out - hey Shan you me on a stunning white beach, blue seas and Margaritas.......teenage dream.....yeah man!!!!!! The beaches are amazing here the sea is so blue it looks almost unreal !!!!!  We took photos and had a great time having nachos, jerky chicken, taco's and the adults had more Margaritas - we watched Matt undress and wear only a Mexican Poncho and a Sombrero just because the sign said naked beach, we know we are not rule breakers but really uncle Matt I think it was just the name of the beach!! lol........ Fern definitely requires advanced driving lessons as poor uncle Matt had to constantly jump out of his STARTED jeep to come and start ours!!! could it maybe have something to do with the fact that it was a stick ( manual) and not automatic vehicle??   Matt and luli then got pulled over by the cops because of all us kids standing at the back of the jeep waving, laughing and just having fun!!! They just gave us a warning and let us go...... We then went to Car........something park where we had swam with dolphins, my favourite sea animal, wow what an experience it was fantastic something we will never ever forget.  We kissed a dolphin, let a dolphin kiss us on the cheek, played with them and learnt all about them, it was awesome!!!!!  I did not want to get out of the water, there was one dolphin that took a liking to me and would  not leave me alone, he kept swimming away from his trainer and coming to me.  After the dolphin experience we went to watch a sea lion show this was cute but did not have the impact on us the Dolphins did.  After that we swam in the pool at the Nature Park and then left to drive back to our ship.  Cozumel is such a small island we drove right around it  in a couple of hours, so amazingly beautiful. We then had time to do some shopping before we embarked again.  What an amazing day!!!!!
