Mexico Day 4 - Holbox Island

After another nice breakfast on the beach at Amiete, we went to visit the local dog shelter. We found out in advance that you can help out by taking the dogs for a walk on the beach. My dog Niquila was really underweight - you could see all her ribs but she still seemed happy enough to be out on a walk. Obviously, as soon as we reached the beach, Niquila did a huge diahrroea poo in the sand right in front of a lovely hotel (and we only had one poo bag each)!! 💩 So that was fun.

After returning the dogs we went to Roots pizza, the best place on the island to try lobster pizza. Although I try to avoid wheat, meat and dairy, it was an absolute yes to all 3 if in lobster pizza form! And it was so good.. probably the best pizza we've ever had.

In the evening we decided to do a bar crawl for our last night. We finally saw a sunset at the rooftop bar of Hotel Mittoz. We moved on to Casa Las Tortugas a fab beach front bar with some lovely Texans that we met in the previous bar. They taught us all about tiquila and mezcal (smoked tiquila).. at least we now know it comes from the Agave plant. We finished the night in a craft beer bar on Holbox Square with more margaritas and shots (and a hangover - perfect idea for the next day's 2 ferry and 2 bus journey to Cozumel).Read more
