On our day in Cozumel, we set out on our own, finding a nice taxi driver who spent about 4 hours showing us around the island. The far side of the island away from the big hotels and ship docks has some nice beaches with a lot of these coral outcrops. Although there are some restaurants there for the tourists, apparently no one actually lives on this side of the island. The "buildings" [open, thatched roof for the most part, from what we saw] often have to be rebuilt after a storm.
That's Barry out there! Lots of stops, so many photo ops on this day, making up for a relaxing day at sea yesterday.
This was one of the stops on our honeymoon cruise in 1988 and we saw the ruins & did a LOT of walking. Beautiful capture of the rock formations and sky!
