February 16th, 2010

This pic is of the iguana tail - lots of barbs on it - never would have thought

If you want to enlarge a picture for closer viewing just click on it with your mouse.


Today we started with breakfast at Cantina Habanero, went for a walk about town then ventured to the Ya ax che Botanical Garden just a short distance to the South of Puerto Morelos. The entrance fee was 100 Pecos per person - the mosquitoes were free.

If you should decide to make this trip wear comfortable walking shoes - the walking paths are uneven in areas and there are towers to climb if you wish to do so. Bring along drinking water and lots of good insect repellent. The entire walking route will take from 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours at a leisurely walking pace


Hahaha - too funny - the joke is on me, there is supposed to be a picture of the tail of an iquana here - do you see it??? Not here!!




Do you see the stick which is tied to the left side of the pole? There is no root on the stick but there is lots of green leaf on the top. It must be getting it's nutrients from the air




Allan at the top of one of the lookout towers





Bob walking on the swinging bridge









Fungi
















A termite nest




These limestone rocks are shaped in the form of a seat
another Mayan artifact perhaps





Another Iguana




These iguana blend in so well with their surroundings, often if they

do not move your eye doesn't pick them up



The kitchen in one of the Mayan display homes

I couldn't cook here, there aren't enough pots and pans


Ruins


more Mayan Ruins in the park



One of the various posters through the gardens explaining different exhibits


A little water fall






This log is one of many housing their honey bee - they have no stinger



Another log of honey bees - if you look in the right place (centre hole) you will see one's bottom end










The bark on this tree feels like wax






The park entrance






Just a walk about the town of Puerto Morelos



This and pictures below are of the various signs at Ed's

Cantina Habaneros - I just had to share




















Breakfast at Ed's



This is the breakfast menu at Cantina Habaneros - good prices and great food.

If you plan on having breakfast here please be patient, the cook is putting his whole heart and sole into your meal. It takes a little extra time for the proper amount of TLC to be added.


The time should read "early morningish" I hear Ed and Nat sometimes sleep in due to late night - early morning entertainment and customers
