Holbox Heaven

Yesssssss!! This weekend we finally got to go to the beautiful Isla Holbox. We had been wanting to go there for weeks, and last weekend we finally took the plunge and went! At first we wanted to go with the Mayab bus, bus then José (the nanny dad of Hilde) offered us to take the car, so kind! So Friday night, Julia, Lisse, Hilde and I started our 2,5 hour roadtrip, heading to Chiquila.

Amazing sunset on our road trip, at Lopez Portillo!

We looked for a hostel to stay and stood upon this one: The Eco Hostel. We got two private rooms which were very cute and cosy. Lis and I shared a double bed and Julia and Hilde had two single beds.

After breakfast the next morning, we went for a walk on the beach to the most southern spot of the island, Punta Coco. Someone recommended us to go there, and told us it was very quiet and calm. It was about an hour of walking, but on the road we stood upon many deserted building pieces. Especially this one was very impressive with a beautiful poem.

And all spread out over the beach, these kind of messages!

Our picknick spot at Punta Coco!

In the city centre, there are a lot of small shops with handcrafted bikinis, tops, and jewelry. And, lots of beautiful street art!!

On Sunday morning, we went for a morning hike to a northern spot, Punta Mosquito. We went around 5.30 am, so very early, and we were able to watch the sunrise! Amazing view!

The shells we found at the beach! So pretty :)

It was a really cool experience to go to Holbox! Definitely worth the visit, it is so calm and peaceful. We loved it!
