Cozumel, Mexico One of the Top Five Destinations in the World

Walking in downtown Cozumel, Mexico I saw their flag and took picture of it.
I took this one while my husband and I riding a boat.

It is me just taking a picture of myself even it was too windy that time (lol) and the good thing my hat did not fly away but I left it in the boat and I liked that hat makes me look cute (he-he) according to my husband (lol).
Trying to be cute here with my big ice cream look like Pinocchio (ha-ha) yum!


We went on a cruise for about 5 days and 4 nights and our last stopped was in Cozumel, Mexico and after that is back in Tampa, Florida. We stayed for just about 9 hours and 30 minutes in Cozumel. It was a pretty place especially looking their blue sea and even by nearby the shore, it is very clear, and I loved it! Cozumel, Mexico is one of the tourist destinations as they have good restaurants, bar, attractions, shopping place and others. This Island offers the best diving in Mexico. Cozumel is a favorite destination for divers and non-divers alike, offering some good beaches, clear blue water and plenty of sunshine. The place Cozumel, Mexico’s largest island. This place packed of people, especially when the cruise ship stopped by in this island. There are a lot of pricey shops and for myself, I was thinking because it is a Mexico, it is cheaper everything than here in the States, but wow! I was amazed, because it seems for me everything is expensive, it is like in the States, and they accept dollars if you want to buy something their products and of course, they accept peso as it is their currency. I cannot believe when my husband and I went to their Pharmacy store which is by the port we trying to buy some food and drinks but the prices are dollars and even a small bag of chips it’s already a dollar, come on! its Mexico it should be cheaper than here in the States, for me it is pricey. I was just somewhat disappointed as I thought I can buy a lot of what I want but we just bought some souvenirs but I had fun doing shopping in Cozumel together with my husband. My husband did scuba dive and he paid just about 90 dollars for his 2 tanks for diving and he rented a snorkel gear for me and that is the total. When we are going to the deep ocean, I was somewhat excited to do snorkel as the water is very blue and very clear and I did not see that kind of water and it was great. When my husband dove together with other divers and the boat that we rode in, it was keep moving and makes me dizzy and I wanted to go back to the cruise ship, but it was impossible, so I stayed. When my husband dove 2nd time using his 2nd tank I did snorkel and while he is diving together with his co-divers I did watched them and I can see the fish even it was about 60-70 feet deep and that is how clear is the water there. I had fun, but the problem, was limited for me to see the fish, because it was deep and then I decided to go back to the boat and the water was a little bit cold too but I handled it. After about 2 hours, we went back to the land we did shopping and went to ate our late lunch and I was hungry that time too. I noticed while we are walking in the downtown, the streets there is no trashes and I like that. It was a lot of fun visiting Cozumel, Mexico.
