Buttercup

 With our new found bartering aggression we headed off fresh from Snorkelling to rent some bikes. Cozumel is only a small island and we’d heard there were lovely beaches just up the coast so we toddled off to rent some bikes, knowing the going rate for bikes was $12 a day we weren’t going to take any sh*t. Sure enough the price was $15 but with so many people offering everything you could possibly want we had no qualms in haggling to the death. By this point in the day everyone had disappeared though, their prey would not return until the following morning. Undeterred, we found someone who looked at us as if we were mad wanting push bikes and was immune from haggling. Next and last option, possibly my best haggle and we got bikes for $12. Two seconds later we had a scooter for $20, what were we thinking with pushbikes anyway! Up the road to the office and what should be parked in the front of the lot? The best VW Beetle ever! Bright yellow and open top. We had to have it.

Possibly a highlight of the whole of Mexico was us bombing around in this beauty. The freedom of the open road on deserted roads and deserted beaches. I’d say, if you come to Cozumel this is an absolute must!
