Celestún

Reserva de la Biosfera Ria Celestun	Fishing near the mangroves	Shrimp fishermen - walking through the water...	...dragging their fishing nets by their waists and pushing their boats
The star attraction - flamingos	Best time to see them - November to mid-March	Love their colour	What's over there?
We approach quietly and not too close	They eat shrimp larvae - that gives them their colour	This one wants to be alone	Beautiful
Heron	Egrets also become pink	A couple of sleeping, young flamingos	Into a mangrove tunnel
Looking for crocodiles	A mass of roots	Termite nests	Winding our way through
Coming out of the tunnel	Freshwater spring wells into the saltwater	Lots of fish around the spring	Stripey fish
Crystal clear freshwater	Beautiful colour	In for a swim but there are crocodiles around!	Celestun beach
It was a hot day - time for a swim in the Gulf of Mexico	After a swim, time for a cold beer	Salud (cheers)	View from our loungers
