You might have noticed that I have been MIA for the past little while.. My wife Julie and I just got back from a wonderful holiday in Mexico!! We flew into Cancun, then drove about two hours down the Riviera Maya to Tulum, where we stayed at the beautiful Gran Bahia Principe. The resort was fabulous, and all-inclusive, but we are not the type to stay put. We did a lot of exploring off the resort, and had some seriously awesome adventures!
First, we visited the Mayan ruins of Tulum. They are located on a cliff overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, and are so full of mystery and beauty. We also went to Playa del Carmen, a cosmopolitan town in the heart of the Mayan Riviera. Here, we took in all of the sights and sounds of Mexico, and did some shopping on the popular Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue).
Next, we went to Hidden Worlds Cenotes Park. This was unbelievable. We did the ‘Ultimate Adventure Package’, which included a SkyCycle through the jungle, splash-down ziplines, and rappelling and snorkeling in the cenotes (caves). We had so much fun here, and would recommend it to anyone!
On another day, we visited Xel-Ha - one of the most amazing Natural Wonders of Mexico. Xel-Ha is hailed as “the world’s most beautiful Natural Aquarium. No walls. No glass. Nothing can ever compare to this experience.” SO true. We spent hours snorkeling in the pristine waters, and I got to try out my new underwater camera gear. Also at Xel-Ha, we swam with dolphins at Delphinus. This was such an incredible experience for both Julie and I.. one that we will never forget!
This first shot was taken at an art display in the Toronto airport.
The Mayan ruins at Tulum would be the ultimate location for a bridal shoot. We just happened to have a wedding dress with us (like you would!)
This was such an awesome vacation. We are ready to go back already!
