Depending on the day, we either had the morning or the afternoon off to do our own thing. One day I went to town to check that out, and to the amazement of everyone in our group I walked back a whole 3 miles!!! That's ok, I'm used to people thinking I'm crazy. I rather enjoyed the walk myself.
Another day I joined up with Patti and Larry who had successfully scored a free jeep in return for pretending they were interested in a time share (way to go!). We drove all around the island, checked out some Mayan ruins, and saw a bunch of turtle tracks on the beaches on the other side of the island (no turtles though).
Oh yeah, and I got attacked by a pretty big iguana at the Mayan ruins. He whipped me with his tail when I tried to pet him! I love reptiles with attitude!
