Last Day in Xpu-Ha – Fly Home for Holidays

Our last walk down the beach to the old hurricane damaged pier.

Making sure our rocks still declare our palapa private. Last week the names stayed in place all week long.

Two days ago our Swiss friends that we met at Catemaco arrived but they left this morning to head up to near Cancun since they are also flying back home for the holidays. They have been traveling around the world in their Land Rover Camper for the past 11 years. They have been in the Americas for the last 4 years.

Peggy and Mags sitting on the beach near our campsite waiting for me to return, after taking pictures of the Corona Beer Commercials that they were shooting in front of Al Cielo Hotel,

It took 12 guys, 6 days to re-grade the beach, build a beach bar just for the commercial and put down a New York cab right  on the beach.

They are shooting a whole set of commercials there, maybe for the Super Bowl.

Here is the new beach bar which will probably wash away when a big high tide comes in.

Mr. Sandman right down on the beach reminding everybody back home to get ready for the snow.

Looks just like a snowman doesn’t he?

Well tomorrow morning at 8 AM Claude will take us to the bus station in Playa del Carmen about 20 min away. The first class bus to Cancun airport takes an hour and cost about $10 USD.

We will return to our camper on New Year’s Day. So if I don’t blog from home Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
