Retorno de Mexico

We had a early direct flight back to Cancun on Sunday. We used the public transportation low cost way to go to and from the airport to our campground, MecoLoco, in Puerto Juarez. International flights arrive at terminal 3, so we took a free, every 20 min, shuttle bus to terminal 2 from where the airport buses leave. There are First Class ADO buses to Playa del Carmen and Cancun City. They leave every 30 min to Cancun and cost 40 pesos. You then just walk across the street to catch a Collectivo van to Punta Sam which passes by about every 10 minutes, it costs only 4-1/2 pesos. We were back in camp by 11:15 AM, everything was fine in our RV. The refrigerator was still running fine. We were disconnected from the power while we were gone but our solar panels keep the batteries fully charged.

Monday, we went back into town to stock up on fresh food at a big Soriano in a nearby mall. We took a beach walk and just read our books. On Tuesday we decided to get an early start and took a bike ride to the end of the road on Isla Blanca. It was warm but breezy and Peggy pooped out coming back from our 19 mile ride. I reminded her that "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger". She informed me that her new found strength will be used today for sitting in the shade on the beach reading a book.

The campground has 100 sites that probably only will comfortably fit 50 RV campers, but we seldom have more than 15, most of which choose to spend the entire winter here. We are camping across from two friends that we met first at Catemaco. Rudy from Switzerland and his wife Regina from Paraguay decided to buy new bicycles and take some of the rides that we took. They eventually plan to tour USA, Alaska, Canada, Central and South America. This is just a shakedown cruise for the used RV they purchased in Texas.

John & Elsie from Wisconsin have been wintering in Mexico for over 20 years and even though they are both are over 80 years old they are quite active with John riding his bike every day and Elsie walking all around the city of Cancun.
