Departing Cozumel

Departing Cozumel.

The ferry ride was easy. We had to drop off our car rental at the airport then take a taxi to the ferry terminal. To find a taxi at the airport is not easy for most mini buses are only for tourists or reserved for groups. When a taxi dropped off another passenger, we asked the driver if he could take us to the ferry terminal. He said "no, I am not allowed to," he said. " You will have to walk to that road to catch taxis". The road he was pointing at was about 500 yards and it was raining. So we went inside the airport to find out how we could get into one of those tourists buses. Apparently the "transportation business has been monopolyzed" by these white buses assocations. But, we managed to purchase a ticket from them to drop us off to the ferry terminal. Took 30 minutes to the mainland, Playa Del Carmen, where we were approached by people offering car rental, and massages. Negotiated with taxi drivers while dragging 3 suitcases is a bit of a challenge.
