… on the day, it also sets on my early 20ies! Today marks many things, not just the beginning of my late twenties, but also my first birthday away from everyone and everything I know, and the first solo adventure of my life in magnificent Yucatán.
I have a feeling I’ll remember this birthday for the rest of my life; It started with a tropical storm and the sun came out for the moments exactly when I needed it. I’ve snorkeled amongst moonfish, shipwrecks and statues at the bottom of the Caribbean sea, had a fish BBQ on a palm beach, checked into a 5* hotel where there was a wonderful surprise bottle of champagne waiting from my fellow dreamer Emma, and seen both dolphins and friendly sharks on my boat trip round Isla Mujeres. In the days to come I’ll be heading inland to explore underwater caves and one of the seven wonders of the world, more Mexican-Caribbean islands and Mayan ruins on the beach. I’m a very happy birthday-girl indeed, or is that –woman now?
