The guys tried to pack as much as possible into their 4 days in Cozumel. Diving every morning, followed by walks, dinners, bars, parties, you name it. So on Monday, right after we came back from our two beautiful dives to Punta Tunich and Yucab, we went to a car rental place to exchange our car for 3 scooters.
None of them had driven a moped before, but they'd figured, "How hard could it possibly be? Here, you see whole families with babies and dogs on one scooter – if they manage, clearly can we!" Well… maybe the people of Cozumel make it seem a bit easier than it is, or maybe our friends were just exhausted by the intense diving lessons, but half an hour of failed attempts to hold their balance and 200 pesos of damage caused by a minor collision of one of the scooters into a parked car (all of this still in the parking lot of the rental place), the scooters were shamefacedly returned.
On the bright side, this gave them a chance to take a long romantic walk along the ocean to our dinner destination, La Hach. I took my bike – during their visit I never had a chance to ride it and missed it so much (how had I lived without a bicycle all my life, I wonder?).
