Finally. An obscenely early start and a 10 hour flight later we landed in Cancun.

Not a classic combo I admit. We caught an early train to Edinburgh and met up with my parents for what should have been a trip last year to celebrate my Dad’s 60th.

A whistle stop tour.

After pick up from the mainland we boarded Rocky's fast boat which promised to have us to the island in 30min.
