Isla Holbox

Today we drove from Akumal to Isla Holbox. It is in the northern part of the Yucatan. Northwest of Cancun. The drive was great. Mostly narrow two lane roads. Out in the boondox. We ended up in the town of Chiquila where we took a 25 minute ferry to Isla Holbox. Holbox is about 2 miles wide and 10 miles long. Once on the island you can travel by taxi in the form of golf carts, rent a golf cart or walk. People also use motor scooters. I haven't seen a car. Our taxi driver Coral took us around to several hotels. We settled on a place on the beach called Holdbox Dream. I went into town while Martha napped and rented a golf cart and drove around the white sand roads that cross the town. I ran across the town dump and the town cemetery. They were in the same place. It was hot. Tropical hot. The beach is beautiful. Tomorrow we hope to go to the end of the island where there are flamingos and other birds.
