So Nick caught you up to the end of California. And so off to Mexico we went. Yippee!!! We stepped out of the airport and were instantly hit by the heat… At 7:30pm!
Our hotel was part of a 30km stretch of hotels. It made Vegas look silly! We stayed at the Riu Caribe, which was beautiful. Our room had an amazing view of the sea, which is (in really South African terms) flat as a pannekoek! 
We spent our first two days lazing on the beach and generally enjoying not being cold for the first time in weeks. Our hotel was all inclusive and there is a buffet for breakfast, lunch and supper that could contend with the Boma! Aaah food!
On Tuesday we went and swam with Dolphins in a dolphinarium. It was incredible. We got to hug them and massage them and play with them for an entire hour. So cool! And that was just our morning! In the avi we went on a speed boat tour. You get 1 speed boat for 2 people and 3 boats follow a guide boat. We went through the lagoon into the mangroves and out into the ocean. They then took us to a reef, where we went snorkeling. Didn’t see too many fish but it was still super fun. We then went back through the mangroves to where we started for pizza and beer. By 8pm that night we were sitting at dinner holding our eyelids open. I slept so well that night!
Needless to say it’s been a tough life in Mexico But we’re back in the US now, and dealing with security checks, flight delays etc. Sigh! The only complaint we had with Mexico was that the Internet was slow and their 3rd world bank’s credit card machines can’t cope with our credit cards, which caused some frustrating moments, as you can imagine!
Anyway, hopefully we’ll get to DC in the next 8 hours and then it’s time for some last minute shopping before we head home. So anyone with requests better SMS me soon (bear in mind we’re 6 hrs behind you, so not in the middle of the night please)
Looking forward to being home and seeing you all. Not long now!
That’s all for now. Laters alligators (I’m in Florida right now, hee hee hee)
