Flipper Show
29 March 2012 | Cayo Largo
Surfing, what a pleasure it was, jumping from the boat straight onto our surfboards. We had four super surfdays in Cayo Largo, we could zoom up and down the lagoon from one shallow spot to the next. I can´t remember a more enjoyable surfsession. I did not have to share my board this time, since Richard could use his small board in this lovely strong breeze as well. Sailing or Surfing? I take the surfing any day, its like riding a motorbike compared to riding a bus.
We had a wonderful time in Cayo Largo, meeting lovely people, lots of long beach walks, always ending up our round at the Dolphin show, which made us laugh every time, when the people were lifted up by two dolphins and stood on their noses screaming with joy and surprise. We could also use the kajak a lot and the swimming was wonderful. The anchorage was very peaceful, no disco music, no venders approaching our boat, just perfect. One evening we spent in one of the hotel ´s enjoyed a good buffet and plenty of Mojitos at the bar.
Checking out of Kuba was easy, just three officials came aboard, filled in a lot of the same boat details again, we had our $10,- worth of stamp duty bought in a bank and we were free to leave. The next stop was so to speak “illeagal”, we stayed for several nights at a very beautiful deserted little Island to brake up our trip to Mexico, Yucatan. Our fridge was totally empty of fresh produce, the only vegetable you could buy in Cayo Largo were tomatoes, onions and potatos, all at a premium . When we arrived in Isla Mujeres I was greeted by Romy from “TiTaRo” with a mango and a kiwi..oh..my God I devoured the fruit greedily, I missed fruits and went out quickly to get lots. Now we are back to our fruit breakfast, feels such a good start ot the day.
