Cozumel, Mexico

The first stop on the Triumph was Cozumel, a small island off the coast of Mexico (and a part of Mexico). Aboard the ship, we'd signed up for "Jungle Kayaking" which was a great choice. We were bused then ferried to another island (Isle a la Pasion I think?) where all of our expectations were exceeded. We had unlimited Mexican food and cocktails for the day on a tropical island paradise.

After a quick couple of cocktails, we set out on our kayaks. We paddled back over to Cozumel then through mangrove swamp.

And of course, what would jungle kayaking be without salt water crocs - this guy was a good 8 feet long and not worth messing with. Unsurprisingly no-one got into the water at this part of the island (and there were nets around the swimming area now that I think about it).
We probably only kayaked for an hour and a half (by then all the Americans had had enough) so we returned to our island for more food, cocktails, games and swimming. We were definitely living the good life!

Alas, eventually we had to return to Cozumel and the crusie ship, but not before a beautiful Mexican dinner (with a couple more cocktails) and another cheesey photo: this is Senor Frog, apparently a bit of a personality in the Caribbean.
