DAYS 6 & 7 - MEXICO ADVENTURE

It is the final countdown of our Mexican vacation. We stayed at the resort and dove into the amenities Banyan Tree Mayakoba offers.

 We spent lots of time on the beach during the day.

 Thursday was filled with an archery adventure. 

 Jose helped us keep score and find arrows that might have missed the target.

For dinner, the resort hosted a fancy cocktail night

 full of hors devours, 

mini show with Mayan characters,

 and then a 5 course Mayan dinner.

 We flew out Friday evening.

Before catching our plane, William and I played our first 18 holes of golf.

*We had to have a collared shirt to play so Ivanka and I borrowed some polos from William.*

Big thanks to our Caddy, Miguel.

Flying back to Europe with Condor Business class.

MEXICO-ing DAY 4

Today was a resort day.

 We adventured around on bicycles. We saw iguanas, raccoons, birds, and a crocodile.

The resort is really in the middle of the Mexican jungle.

 Later in the afternoon, we spent time on the beach

 and in our private pool and hot tub inside our villa.

For dinner, we went on a boat ride around the hotels.

The hotel manager came to Milan and Ivanka tonight and told them have to charge them more for our various excursions. Apparently, they thought I was their daughter and we were 2 kids and 2 adults. *I'm blushing.*

Of course, we took turns driving the boat.

Hasta Mañana.

MEXICO - DAY 1

After many different trip ideas, my Czech family and I packed our bags to go to Mexico for a week. I wasn't expecting a tropical visit during my stay so I didn't pack any warm clothing and Ivanka lost a few kilos and didn't want to buy new shorts...

 so we had to get creative.

Extra material meant matching headbands!

We loaded up the car and drove 3 hours to the Munich airport

 to catch our non-stop 12 hour flight to Cancun.

 Thank goodness for business class and the reclining beds.

They also served us fancy food.

 We arrived in Mexico late. The first day was spent at the beach getting to know our villa and used to the time difference.

 We stayed at the Bayan Tree Mayakoba resort. It is fabulously fabulous!

 The resort supplied us with bikes to ride if we didn't want to wait for a golf cart to pick us up to take us around.

Today was a good day.

ITALY Day 3 - CINQUE TERRE

Cinque Terre means 5 lands in Italian. We woke early for a day trip via bus to this area of amazing little villages.

We were able to visit 4 of the 5 villages and they are all so darn charming. You can take a ferry, train, or hike between them.

I couldn't find one thing wrong with this place. 

OK. I lied. There are a lot of pick pockets around that you have to beware of while visiting. There are signs posted everywhere warning you and one person in our group had their wallet stolen. Other than that, this place is so fabulous!

I LOVE SUMMER

I love summer. When else can you have a week full of

disc golf in the park

(first timer)

shark week

(or something like unto it)

road trips to the Uintas to take photographs

(but really just enjoying the food at the best of state 2015 restaurants in town. UGH. My head says Victoria's Secret model, but my heart says scones, burgers, and pizza.)

 fun at nearby lakes

outdoor concerts

and gorgeous sunsets. Keep the fun coming!
