Page 2 of Rich and Linz Travel Blog Posts



BY RJP please excuse slang (Linz will probably edit!) 14/9/11 cont : Last night on Caye Ambergris, I (Rich) went to find alligators in the lagoon on bike but after 20mins I could only see things moving under the surface and the mosies found me so I got the hell on! Found the honeymooners swank hotel (Victoria House) and found them by the rather nice pool on in idyllic setting, bit jealous, but would recommend to others. After walking around town with Linz had a nice meal at The Blue Water Grill, lush food and first bottle of Wine for 3.5 weeks, I cracked, loved it.

We’ve been in Mexico just over a week now and we’ve been having a really good time. We started off in a hotel in Cancun just to make things easier to get over the jetlag. Our room was slightly weird but clean and comfortable. The hotel was really quiet so when we went down to the beach there was hardly anyone on there. It was really good just to have a day to completely relax because we had both lost the plot a little due to the jetlag. We also didn’t have a clue how much the Mexican pesos were compared to the pound as we never looked beforehand! Our first meal on the day we got there was in some tacky Americanised shopping and eating complex and was expensive and rubbish but it did the ... read more
