The lagun of bacalar
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Tim
07 November 2018 | Mexico, Bacalar
From now on I will continue to write my blogs in English! Just so foreign people can join in if they want to.:-)
Last blog I just arrived in Tulum and was talking about diving. I did that and have my license now! It was 2 days of intensive studying, but the experience was really cool (asides from the seasickness though). I maibny dove in Cenotes, sinkholes thay are connected to each other with caves and the sea. After I got my license I also went for a cavern dives, which were even better.
I saw turtles, eels, crabs, a very big number of fish and even some cool coral and fossils under water. The best thing was right at the start of my first dive though. I was becoming accustomed to the breathing when suddenly a small crocodile sits 1 meter away from me on the cenotes bottom! It was really cool to see him that close and I would have loved to have a picture of him.
From the last day of diving I did take a gopro with me. The files are to big to send right now (and too much), but if I am back I can create a small movie from them :-)
Tulum was really cool and also checked some other cenotes, the sea, Mayan ruins and saw a lot of the city. The hostel was great too with loads of friendly people to hang out with. I felt sad to go, but I do look forward to more experiences like that. :-)
Yesterday Thierry and I (a canadian guy) moved from Tulum to Bacalar. Bacalar is famous for its big lagun and not being to touristic yet, so we will see if that is the case. We already met some people and wanted to go for some paddle boarding, so I hope to talk about that next!
P.s.: I did not see reactions until now. Several questions are answered therefore. :-)

Opa Van Tim:
Tim, ik heb je reisverslagen gelezen; leuk om je ervaringen te kunnen volgen. Zoveel nieuwe dingen te zien.
Ook al een reisgenoot gevonden, lees ik. Veel plezier in de komende tijd. Het allerbeste en wees voorzichtig.
Mindert ligt weer in het ziekenhuis en wordt vandaag geopereerd aan zijn long.
Groeten van oma en opoa -

Tim Beishuizen:
Hoi opa en oma,
Bedankt voor het bericht! Ik heb inderdaad zo veel nieuwe dingen gezien, het is echt een unieke ervaring.
Ik las het van Mindert. Erg vervelend! Ik zal duimen dat de operatie goed zal gaan vanuit Mexico en dat het na deze operatie beter verholpen is.
