Heather, that's a wonderful idea !!!! They will love you !!!   :)  
 
 I did not think of that when we went , it was only my second trip down south ,I plan on going back to Cozumel some day, you will  have to give me the address for the orphange.
 
 Don't forget to get the bartender at Coconuts to take a nice picture of you for there album   :D  
 
 You will love the other side of the Island, stop at as many bars as you can, we did them all.

As some people might have heard,  ;)    ;)   I did see a shark in Cozumel!
 
 We were diving on the C-53 wreck just off San Miguel, and as I drifted over the side of the ship, there he was...

Well you folks, today has been the hottest day so far.
 
 I walked along the beach with a young couple from San Francisco who are in Bulldog's room to the spot where FR, Heather and myself were in the ocean.
 
 It was that hot that even I walked straight in up to my shoulders.   In fact it was so hot on the shore that we had to stay in the ocean to prevent ourselves burning.
 
 Late afternoon I won the darts tournament - certificate tonight!!!  Went into the pool via the step ladder - warmest I have ever known it.  Had a couple of tequila sunrises, then one of those tri coloured shots, then a Wassels .
 
 Warren is back from his cave diving and has a couple of dives booked for the morning and that will be his lot.  I'll let him tell you all about his diving today when he has time.
 
 We are dining with our San Francisco friends tonight so I will have to dash back to shower and change.
 
 Such a pity for you about the weather.   This has been the warmest day so far, probably too warm as most people are saying, even the staff.

Just a brief morning report.
 
 Weather is again glorious 32C again with unlimited sunshine.
 
 Second day running there are no sausages at breakfast!!!!!  I think flopnfly ate them all last week.
 
 Warrren is just doing two dives this morning and that will be his lot.  He has done 40 dives in all these past two weeks.
 
 I`m back to the room to plaster myself with suncream and face the hot sun.
 
 Have fun all you folks back home.

By the way Eric, I checked with the new occupants of your room and there were no sunglasses there when they arrived.

I'm sure they went to a good home.
 
 Sounds and looks like you guys had a great trip. Going to check out the pics tomorrow at work. I don't have high speed at home. I'll be there early enough tomorrow to look before I start work.

Well this is it, the final 'live' posting from Cozumel.
 
 Just finished breakfast and back off to the room to start packing.
 
 I really don't know where I am going to put everything.
 
 Freedom Ryder gave me three carry ons full of clothes, electrical goods, jewelry, etc, etc to take to Cuba so I will be well overweight when I check in later today.
 
 Once again it is a sorcher.   We are being picked up at 1245 so will not have long to wait after our midday checkout.
 
 LATE NEWS:
 
 Warren has just walked in with Gambitt's sunglasses!!!!!
 
 He didn't come to breakfast and has just received a call from the front desk.  Apparently Eric you left them in the taxi that took you to the airport.
 
 I`ll take them home with me and then we sort out what to do with them after that.
 
 Bye from Cozumel!!!!
