Costa Maya: I still got it!

Got what you might ask?  The ability to take some killer pictures while riding a bike.  

Y’all might remember from my study abroad days, but a bike tour is my favorite way to see a place. Before Costa Maya was a cruise port, it was just a little fishing village.  The port area has built up, but along the coast its very cute and more authentic. 

We biked along the coast for about 20 min where we got some clear bottom kayaks and paddled out into the ocean.  Difficulty wise it was a lot easier than our potentially deadly activities adventure in Veiques where we paddled into a thunder storm, but it was more difficult than paddling the Broad.
 

We swam for a bit and then paddled back.  We got to lay out and dry off on the beach for a while and then we biked back.  It was a great excursion for our last day at a port.  Relaxing but still required a bit of physical exertion.  The port area at Costa Maya is basically a big swimming pool with chairs, restaurants, shopping, and a dolphin enclosure surrounding it.  We ate upstairs at one of the restaurants where we have a great view of all the goings on.  After that Mama and I got in the pool for a bit and witnessed some raunchy middle schoolers have a dance off (those parents should be ashamed!).  Then we called it a day because we were all in desperate need of a shower!
