Nearly HomeLast full day today, before we catch our BA flight home tomorrow evening. Spent yesterday mooching around Ottawa buying a few presents and will probably do similarly today before catching the bus to Montreal this evening.
Canadian Lakeside CottagingHave just spent 3 very relaxing days out in the countryside with Kev and Beth in a lakeside cottage. Most time was spent fishing, eating and drinking. Only a few days left now, so going for a look round Ottawa today before catching the bus back to Montreal on Thursday then fly home Friday.
Old MontrealArrived in Quebec on Tuesday and have been enjoying funky Montreal for the last few days. Have done some end-of-travelling shopping and have been to a Theme Park (with coasters that put DisneyWorld to shame!) and will spend this afternoon enjoying the park and maybe and art gallery (although we've seen sooo much art all over the world in the past few months it could be easy to skip and have a boozy lunch instead).
Quiet side of Cozumel and loud side of New YorkHaven't blogged for over a week as we spent our remaining days in Mexico on the quiet side of Cozumel, in a charming seafront apartment (only 30ft from sea). It was the only place on the East coast of the island that had electricity all day due to its own wind powered generator. Spent 3 days chilling on the beach and chatting with an English surfer and praying the noisey, drunken, obnoxious yanks wernt going to turn up and spoil the tranquility. Fortunately we were spared...
More diving in CozumelGreat diving today that made up for Wednesdays, so so dive. Great swim throughs down to 32m. Saw half a dozen rays (eagle & sting) and a few cheerful turtles. 2nd dive had a fast current 3knots for some excellent superman-style drifting. Going again tomorrow for a wreck dive...

Cozumel DivingWent diving again yesterday which was OK but nowhere near as good as some of our other dives. Cozumel, like Playa Del Carmen is quite touristy and the dive sites we vsited were too busy. On our second dive I could hear engine noise for nearly the entire bottom time. In conditions like that anything of interest is going to be long gone. The only things we found were the odd Moray and a couple of giant crabs cowering under the coral. Shame, really as this place gets raved about and now we are in a do-we-stay-or-go dilemma. We both fancy some more beach time like Tulum, but fear all the beach between here and Cancun will be too busy and touristy. One option is to try the quiter side of this island which we may do this afternon on a scooter and see if we can find a quite place on the beach. Brazil and Argentina photosHave had to remove the Queenstown skydiving ones for the time being, as I was unable to create another Yahoo account.
