Another vacation over
After a last night of watching the Mexican dancers again at our hotel (same show as at the other Wyndham but better at our hotel because of the smaller theatre) we spent the morning on the beach.
Pick up from the hotel was at 12:30 and while the airport was crazy all went well. We arrived at YEG at about 830 PM and were home shortly after 10 PM

Thursday night
I seemed to have lost my premium wi-fi so am now using the free Wi-Fi in the lobby garden.
Caro and I spent the afternoon at the beach enjoying dips in the ocean (more her than me!) Plus a walk down the beach.
The supper meal was at the Mediterranean restaurant at the other Wyndham but truthfully it was Italian. It was the best meal of the week! Love,love ,love Italian food!!!
Our hotel has Mexican dancers tonight for the entertainment and we suspect it is the same program we saw a couple of nights ago at the Wyndham Maya( where we had supper tonight).
I imagine we will enjoy it as much as last time.
Thursday
Yesterday afternoon we finally got our catamaran ride. It was disappointing for me as it was too short and the hotel staff piloting these cats must be under instructions to be overly careful. Boring.....
At night we went to the Mexican restaurant at the other Wyndham. The food and atmosphere there was amazing. We really enjoyed ourselves and the food was awesome.
Today,after a great sleep last night we are spending the day at the beach. Caro is reading or at a fitness class and I am enjoying some Utube videos. The day is quite windy and not as warm as earlier in the week but still very enjoyable.
I snuck a peak at the weather back home and have changed my mind to say that the weather here is AWESOME!!!
We have been enjoying the agouti's (OK I have been enjoying these animals,Caro thinks they look like rats). We have also seen raccoon's and many beautiful small birds.

Wednesday on the beach.
Last night we went to the other Wyndham resort for the Mexican buffet. The food was simply OK. After checking out the menu at the Mexican a la carte menu for tonight (we have reservations) we waited around for stage show (we were still at the other Wyndham resort). The show was real Mexican traditional dancing and we loved it!
Today Hector and Mirna are here (and were greeted by Angel,the reception boss- this all because of the screwup the first night).After that a huge breakfast for Hector. He is making up for the fact that when he was at the all inclusive with Lisa he didn't realize that food was included. Lisa ,we are going to make him eat ALL day long😀

Later tuesday afternoon
Well the wind is negligible so no catamaran sailing today.
While watching the world go by the little fellow ( a ghouti) came around. Cute little guy (but Caro thinks he looks like a rat).
Tonight we are going to the other Wyndham resort (10 minute walk) to have Mexican buffet.
Tuesday afternoon at the beach
This morning we were finished breakfast by 0900 at which time we made a reservation for a catamaran sail at 1630. We also confirmed with our new buddy Angel at the reservation desk that Hector and Mirna are OK for tomorrow here (we cover only a small amount of their cost due to the hotel screw up on our first night).
Caro always likes to go bike riding so today was the day. Unfortunately the bikes here are the old style pedal brake which Caro is not used to. We tried riding but decided after one hour it was better to just walk so off we went.
We walked to Fifth avenue and were immediately assaulted by hard core salesmen which I HATE (although Caro just says "this is Mexico"). We walked and walked and walked and at some point stopped for refreshments and chips with guacamole.
We made our way to a Michoacan ice cream place and Caro had TWO paletas . .......Gorda. Ha ha.
By now Caro is killing her husband by making him walk bazillions of kilometers so he (the husband) gently suggested it was time to head back.😎l
We are presently lying on beach loungers listening to a bird with serious attitude issues. Very interesting listening to all the sounds he makes!

Chichen Itza
Hector picked us up in the morning and we drove to Chichen Itza (about 2 hours). We were last there on our honeymoon 33 years ago and it was the first time for Hector. While I was bending over to pick up something at the trunk of the car I had a "wardrobe malfunction" when my cutoffs blew out the rivet holding the halfs together above the zipper.😵😵😱😱 Ha ha. I spent the next two hours making sure I had no accidental butt views!!!
Chichen Itza was incredible and we were happy to pay for the tour guide.
After that we went to swim underground in a couple of cenotes near the city of Valladolid. Wow that was refreshing.
Supper was at a recommended restaurant at the zocalo in Valladolid. Mmmmm
We were back to our hotel shortly after 10 PM feeling ready for bed.

Third day (Sunday)
Hector picked us up at 0900 and we went to Puerto Morales to pick up Mirna and then to show us his new house. The house is tiny but it is clear that he has made a nice home there.
We went to Puerto Morales beach and after a nice walk we sat down in a beach side restaurant and proceeded to spend the next three hours eating fantastic Mexican seafood. I tried many different foods and had a real Mexican coke from a bottle.Mmmmmmm.
They drove us up to Cancun and we drove the hotel strip. I am happy we are here instead of there. The hotels are massive.

Trying another photo
Strangely I can take a photo and send it immediately but can't use a photo I took earlier
Saturday afternoon
We now have premier internet service because of last night's cave like windowless room and have moved to our new,much nicer room. The boss of the reception area is being very accommodating to us in lieu of last night.It turns out there were about 5 rooms overbooked. We did not create a huge stink but instead were very understanding and accepting. I of course mentioned the issue to SunWing and also mentioned that I had thousands of review reads on Trip Advisor which is probably helping us get more perks!!
As I write this I am lazing around on a beach lounger, under a palm tree at the beach,and Caro is doing Zumba with a dozen other ladies. She has already ran the streets for an hour and had walked the beach for an hour. I have not!
Second day at Viva Wyndham Azteca
Well we got here Ok in late afternoon after a good flight. Our hotel appears to be overbooked so we were given a tiny windowless room for the night with the promise of compensation today. They said last night we will get $100 today. Hmmm. Not enough,so we have also asked for a room with a great view,no cost safe and premium internet. We will see. Anyway SunWing will be notified and the fact that my reviews on Trip Advisor have been read over 28,000 times will help ,I hope!!
