CancúnTom's Mexico

Saturday morning we attended the grand opening of a new restaurant in Cancun. It is across from the new Malecon park on the lagoon and behind the new part of the Plaza Las Americas Mall complex.

They are open for Breakfast, lunch, & Dinner

We were served an assortment of breakfast items, juices, coffee, tea and sweets.

While vacationing in Nassau we stopped by the Bob Marley Resort & Spa to check out the gift shop and grounds……

This is the  driveway into the resort

A quiet corner of the grounds with pools of water in a natural setting

From the lobby looking out towards the ocean

This is the back of the resort with rooms facing the Caribbean and the pools

There is a Marley room with many of his gold, silver, & platinum album awards as well as pictures of him from back in the day.

His award winning album…..”Legend”

Seemed to be a very nice place to stay, small, quiet, and beautifully done.

Well, one afternoon we were sitting in Pancho Willy’s having a beer and nachos……and I noticed this guy flying above the water in the lagoon……

You place your feet in these boots and jump in…..

I guess this 180 elbow either goes in the attending ski-doo or under water…..the water feeds into it and up the long red hose and a motor in the ski-doo pumps the water at high velocity pushing you into the air thru those two handles that you use to steer with ……..all new to me.
