Isla de Mujeres

Another walk thorugh the small streets of Isla de Mujeres, near Cancun, Mexico. It seems that especially on islands the people are different. In the first night, we have been here for 15 minutes, we realized that all the people living here are some kinda crazy, maybe its the water, do they put something in there, or why does every merchant offer us his special cuban cigars, may be they themselves should smoke less of what they smoke, but its not only cuban stuff.

The island is small and lots of the colorful houses have been destroyed while the hurricane was hitting Yucatan. But they are constructing a lots of things and need some money for it, maybe for this reason we have been already stopped on they way into Cancun by the police, where we only wanted to ask the way to the harbor, and had to pay mordida afterwards.

Today we did a diving tour to the reefs and some wracks, i have seen "Nemo" and many other fishes, like huge Baracudas, Sharks and dolphins. But pobrecito shark, he is in a pool near the coast and only serves to show around for the tourists, cause the bays name is "Tiburon bay" and he even seems more stoned, than the people serving the fish.

But the biggest mystical is, why they named this island "Isla de mujeres" there is almost no Woman overhere, maybe i should ask the fisherman from the first nite again, will be fun, when he explained us the way to the hotel, he had more problems with his spanish than we have, only good he had some hands to explain graphically, what he wasnt able to say...
