Cozumel Transporation - Taxis (White Autos with Red Stripes & #'s)
There are over 750 taxis on the streets of Cozumel at any given time and they provide transportation to locals and tourists alike. The vehicles do not have meters, but rather there is an established fare that drivers are authorized to collect depending on distance and zone. Each driver must have this fare schedule in his possession and present it to the customer when requested to do so.
Always ask the driver how much the fare is from point A to point B before getting in the taxi. Be certain that you have close to the exact amount because drivers rarely carry a great deal of change and occasionally claim they have none in hopes of keeping your change for themselves.
Calling a Cozumel Taxi: 872-0236
While you will almost always find taxis on the island's busier streets and waiting outside most hotels, you may have occasion to call a taxi to pick you up. You should be aware that if you need to catch an early plane or ferry, you would be better off calling one day prior to departure. Phones are generally not answered before 7:00 A.M., therefore, we suggest you call and schedule pick-up the night before your departure. Be aware that the individual answering the phone may speak little or no English, so if you are not a Spanish speaker, you may want to ask someone who is to do the calling for you. Again, be sure that you or the individual calling for you clarify what the rate will be from point A to point B.
All licensed taxis in Cozumel have a number painted on the side of the car. It's always a good practice to take note (OR SNAP A PICTURE!) of this number for several reasons. If a traveler feels a driver has abused the taxi rate structure, the taxi number can be reported and a complaint lodged. Also, it is not uncommon for travelers to accidently leave behind cameras and other valuables when exiting taxis. With the taxi number in hand and a quick call to the main taxi station, often the taxi dispatcher can radio a particular taxi driver to check if items were found. Typically taxi drivers can and will return items to their rightful owners.
It is customary to tip the gas station attendant and the kid who bags your groceries as well as taxi drivers in Mexico. If you feel that your driver has been especially friendly or helpful, you may wish to give him/her something extra!
BEWARE! Taxi Kickbacks are Driving Your Vacation Options & Costs!
Tourists typically believe that all one has to do is arrive in Cozumel, hail a taxi and go somewhere that they've pre-selected to enjoy their day or evening. It would be nice if it were that simple but honestly, the moment a tourist gets into a taxi, it's time for the driver to begin his "sales pitch" in order to earn MORE money from your necessity to get somewhere without walking.
Taxi kickbacks are incentive payments offered by restaurants, beaches, hotels and tour providers to get the taxi drivers to bring tourists to their facility for business.
Since the taxi unions have a monopoly on transporting tourists around the island, they pretty much dictatate who stays in business and who fails. For those businesses that refuse to pay these "kickbacks" or "incentives" and have "out of the way" locations ~ tourist business is virtually non- existent.
The way the taxi drivers operate goes something like this ~
Tourists get into a taxi with a map or address of where they want to go and as they are loading into the taxi of course the driver is very friendly, speaking in English and trying to gain the person's confidence. Once travelers advise the driver their desired destination, the taxi driver will do one of 3 things ~
1. If it is a place where he gets paid a kickback
, the driver will deliver the travelers to their desired destination without hesitation.
2. If the requested place is NEAR a place that pays a
then the taxi driver will begin the journey to the desired location but all the while he will be talking about a place that he knows of that is better suited for tourists.
3. If the reqested destination is one that the taxi driver knows
DOES NOT pay kickbacks,
he will act like he doesn't know where the place is at all or he'll say that he thinks that location has closed. And of course he doesn't want to have to charge you for arriving to a location that is closed so the taxi driver will have alot of other suggestions to give you.
Now, perhaps there are those out there thinking this is no big deal ~ providing a taxi driver a little incentive to steer business one way or the other. If it were a couple of dollars,
might agree but the situation has gotten out of hand and the only way to put an end to it is to bring the practice out in the open like this and let tourists decide for themselves.
tourist want to go where they've researched and decided to go or do they want taxi drivers deciding for them based on how much of a kickback they will receive for delivery tourists to a destination?
Here are some examples of just how bad this kickback practice has gotten ~
1. Many beach clubs now not only pay cash kickbacks but provide free food and beverages as well as logo work shirts, seat covers and sunshields as incentives for the taxi drivers. So, as you get into a taxi, take a look at the work shirt the taxi is wearing or the stickers on his vehicle ~ it will give you a good idea of which beach he'll recommend you visit!
2. The "main theme" offered to visitors this past season by taxi and van drivers was "Let me take you to a beach, or restaurant or tour company far away from the ship beaches where the crowds go." Turns out the taxi drivers weren't driving all that distance with the visitor's best interest in mind. In fact, the taxis not only made the US$18-25 fare ONE WAY per 4 passengers from YOU the tourist, but the beach or restaurant or tour operator ALSO gave the driver as much as another $6 per person for bringing travelers there!
Please Note: The red and white taxis DO NOT HAVE A MONOPOLY ON THIS PRACTICE!!!
All of the tourists who are setting up "CUSTOM" island tour vans using
websites are subject to the same kickback practice. The reason is simple: only White & Red taxi drivers (who drive vans and sedans) have the valid licenses to transport tourists around the island...no one else CAN GET the proper licenses. So they may paint their cars a different color or try other various tones of lipstick on the pig but at the end of the day tourists are still being driven around by Red and White taxi union drivers who exert pressure to stop at locations where they receive a kickback or spiff.
Many, many days this past season the
vans (operated by the Red & White taxi union) would pull up in front of PalMar and the Butterfly Sanctuary at Dzul Ha Beach. The taxi van driver would leave the passengers inside the van and come over to the snack bar area to speak with the workers at the sanctuary/beach club including me (Sherri) personally on several occasions.
The driver would then say, "I have 12 people in my van that want to see the butterflies and spend the day here at your beach so what will you pay me to tell them you are open for business?"
If no kickback was offered, the driver turned around,walked back to the van, told the guests something and drove off to somewhere else that would pay him a kickback.
If a small "tip" (US$1 - 2 pp) was offered or a free beverage, the immediate answer was "Look, I get that for just pulling up in front of the other beaches farther south and they pay me even more if the tourists stay longer."
So short of giving the
taxi van driver the full butterfly sanctuary admission price of $8 per person, it was made clear that NO business would come to the butterfly sanctuary this past season from taxi drivers. And it did not. That's why we started taking reservations in advance. We advised travelers they would be told we didn't exist or were closed but to please inisist to be brough to us. At least 50% of our guests were deliberately taken to the beach next door that DOES PAY INCENTIVES so our clients had to walk back up the road to us!
These kickbacks and bribes on Cozumel Island Tours are also the reason
gives travelers the ability to design their own tour in advance and helps make it clear to the drivers exactly where a group wants to go. Yet still, despite these efforts a few reports came back to us this past season that drivers paid no attention to the attraction list provided but instead just stopped where the
wanted to stop. This is simply unacceptable! It's time for everyone to work together to
the "kickback' payments to taxi and van drivers.
After all, taxi fares and island tour rates are high enough as it is!!
So when a tourist assesses the situation and tries to determine where they might be taken by a driver ~ it's clear that
you insist otherwise,
travelers will be taken as far away as possible
extract the biggest fare possible
and to the beach or restaurant or tour company that pays the highest kickback. For tourists who are seeing the island by private van, rest assured that the drivers are being paid kickbacks to stop at each location he stops at unless it is made clear to the owner/manager the arrival was predetermined
the driver's advice.
What can travelers do to deter this practice of kickbacks & incentives to taxi drivers?
1. Do not ask taxi drivers for suggestions since it is clear their motives have been corrupted by kickbacks and incentives.
2. Do some research, take a map with locations pre-selected and stick to it. Furthermore, upon arrival at a location, advise the owner or manager (show him the list/map, etc) that his business was PRE-SELECTED before getting into the taxi. And let the business know that YOU KNOW how the Cozumel taxi union system works and that you would appreciate it very much if any "kickbacks" or "incentives" for your patronage
in the form of a discount on your meals and beverages.
So now after reading this, travelers know WHERE
all of the Cozumel discounts and good prices have gone!
Those percentage discounts are now kickbacks and incentives
(IN ADDITION TO the taxi fares travelers are paying!)
that go straight into the pockets of Cozumel van and taxi drivers!
Until tourists STOP patronizing the locations that are paying the biggest kickbacks to taxi drivers, there should be no expectation of better prices or discounts offered from businesses. Because Cozumel businesses are being forced to participate in the "taxi kickback" program or GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Yes...the taxi unions have become that strong in Cozumel and they know it!
It's UP TO YOU THE TRAVELER TO JUST SAY NO
to the taxi suggestions and go elsewhere to enjoy your time in Cozumel!
Recent Developments of the 2013 Season
As can been seen via the Cozumel taxi rate pages here on the website, taxi rates were raised yet again in December 2012 just in time for the high season. Rates have gotten so high that many "independents" with their own vans or big cars have resorted to "moonlighting" tourists around the island on tours for much less money than the taxis charge. In addition, a large bus company that came to the island years ago to operate the City bus system has also begun to expand their operations into tourist transport.
There have been numerous incidents whereby the Red & White taxis blocked the road so a bus of tourists could not pass and where some one's private van is blocked on all sides by taxis who refuse to allow the car and its patrons to leave. Instead the police are called by the taxi drivers and in the end, because the taxi union is so powerful and its thousands of members essentially elect the Mayor every 3 years here on the island, tourists have been forced to change vehicles and be driven for the rest of their journey by a Red & White taxi driver.
The Mayor changes this Fall of 2013 and it is hoped that he can work to eliminate this bullying and extortion being perpetrated by the Red & White taxi union drivers of Cozumel.

DIY tools and techniques to keep your pet looking spiffy for less
Wouldn�t it be nice if pets always looked as if they had just been professionally groomed? It�s not easy to keep active and playful pets perfectly primped, but it is possible to tackle basic grooming on your own, as long as you have patience, the proper tools, and some basic instruction. Keep your pet looking spiffy between grooming appointments with these tips: Get the tools: A comb, a brush, clippers, a good pair of scissors and toenail clippers are must-haves. Professional dog groomer Lisa Brezina of Spencer, Ind., also recommends buying ear cleaner and styptic powder, an anti-hemorrhagic that helps stop bleeding from minor cuts and toenails that have been trimmed too closely. �I prefer a multi-speed, changeable blade type of clippers,� Brezina says. �You may need different blade lengths and guard combs depending on the style of haircut you are planning.� Learn the basics: Online video tutorials or one of many available books on pet grooming can provide a helpful base of information for beginners. Look for breed-specific information to make sure you�re using the proper technique for your pet. Safety first: Exercise caution at all times. For example, instead of using scissors to remove small bits of matted fur, Brezina suggests using clippers with a No. 10 blade as you�ll be less likely to nick your pet�s skin. �Blade cooling lubricant also is a must if clipping,� she says. �You should frequently check the heat of the blades on the inside of your wrist (similar to checking the temperature of a baby bottle). If your pet gets burned by the clippers, it will be even more difficult to groom it the next time.� Know when to call the pro: Your pet may present a grooming challenge that�s too difficult for you to tackle. Maybe Fluffy isn�t fond of having her nails trimmed, or perhaps Fido�s fur is just too matted to work through on your own. Don�t hesitate to visit a groomer and let the pro handle a particularly tough situation. Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History

Aquilegia are as much a part of spring as daffodils. Some have long spurs that project out behind the blossoms-others are spur-less with double blossoms. All self-sow without being annoying. Will yield interesting hybrids if others are close by to cross pollinate.
Little care needed. Does best in evenly moist, rich soil. Leave fall basal growth to over-winter. Divide in summer if desired, not usually required since plant self seeds. If you want to prevent seeding and cross pollinating, remove spent flowering stems. Aging or damaged foliage can be completely cut back to level of new growth.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Seven insider tips on women�s health from a pro in-the-know.
When her�childhood friend got an anatomy book, Carol Caico pored over it�when she wasn�t reading Cherry Ames, Student Nurse. At age 12, when she had her appendix removed, she was scared but intrigued by the hospital�s inner workings. But only after she was a married mother of two did she become a nurse.
The Long Island, N.Y., native found she loved working with women in obstetrics and gynecology. But the nurse practitioner (NP), who also has a master�s in counseling and a docorate in health and human services, also takes a 360-degree approach to patient care. �NPs usually try to spend more time with patients to diagnose and treat complaints,� she says.
We asked Caico for her advice on dealing with doctors, troubleshooting symptoms, and coping with common women�s health complaints.
The best gynecologist is one you can talk to�about anything. �Women have so many issues from adolescence through post-menopause,� she says. �You need a good provider�one who will ask questions about subjects you might not want to bring up.�
The secret to getting the most out of your appointment: Bring a list. This will make it easier to bring up sensitive topics, especially when your doc is crunched for time. Feel free to read it to your doctor.
Pain below the belt should always be checked out. �There are so many possible causes: a bacterial infection, ovarian cysts, or just ovulation,� Caico says. �But you need a diagnosis.�
Self-treating could get you in trouble. Many women mistakenly think they have yeast infections when it�s actually bacterial vaginosis, a condition with similar symptoms that requires different treatment. It�s best to check in with your doctor to get a proper assessment.
You probably don�t have to worry about fibroids. The uterine growths, which are thickened muscle tissue, aren�t cancerous, and often shrink after menopause due to the drop in estrogen. But they can be painful and cause heavy bleeding, so women who are truly suffering should discuss their options with their ob-gyn.
Safety is important for single women of any age. �There are too many preventable sexually transmitted infections with life-altering conse- quences that could be avoided,� she says. A doctor who doesn�t listen deserves to be dumped. Ditto if he or she minimizes any symptom you report as �just menopause.� �Ask someone for a referral to an ob-gyn who will give you individual attention,� Caico says.This article originally appeared as on American Profile

10 Unique Services From Eager-to-Please Hotels
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Some hotels offer fitness services, including personal trainers; some hotels in wine country offer wine making classes and grape stomping events; and some even offer cooking classes. And of course, there are all of those services and tours a concierge can arrange.
But as hotels compete for your business, some are offering quite unique and surprising services:
Fireplace butler: How many times have you stayed in an older luxury hotel with a fireplace that is now only there for aesthetics? That won't happen for your winter stay at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado in Santa Fe, N.M. There you can call the fireplace butler, who arrives in rugged flannel attire, carrying a burlap log holder equipped with fresh-cut local pinon wood and lighting supplies; after lighting a fire, he will offer you a choice of complimentary hot spiced cider or hot chocolate. You also have the option to select from a menu of specialty items such as cheese, chocolate and after-dinner drinks at an additional cost.
Drive a Bentley: If you're staying in New York and want to be one of the first in the U.S. to drive a 2013 Bentley Mulsanne, you can do it at no additional cost for renting the Bentley Suite at the St. Regis New York . Guests who stay in the suite get a chauffeur and use of the car within a 10 block radius of the hotel. Of course, the room rate is a mere $9,500 per night, but that shouldn't dissuade the true automobile enthusiast.
Window washing: When staying at a smaller inn, guests might expect to have more personalized service from managers (who may own the property as well). But guests at the White Water Inn in Cambria, Calif., are frequently surprised when they go out to their vehicles and find their car windows have been washed. The inn verified this is a complimentary service they provide to all of their guests who drive.
Soap concierge: It isn't unusual to have little complimentary bars of soap or even a basket of artisanal soaps. At the Viceroy Rivera Maya on the Caribbean in Mexico's Riviera Maya, though, after being welcomed by the property's shaman and given a Mayan blessing, you also get a personal soap concierge. The soap concierge will offer you a variety of soaps in different scents and types -- each offering a different experience. When you make your selections, your personalized bars are carved from larger blocks made in local Mayan communities, following ancient Mayan traditions. All are formulated with organic ingredients found on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Yoga with the dolphins: Some hotels offer yoga classes and some offer the chance to swim with dolphins, but The Mirage in Las Vegas have combined the two. For one hour on weekend mornings, guests can fall into a deep state of relaxation and peace as they flow from pose to pose in a serene, underwater viewing area within Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. WIth the Yoga Among the Dolphins class, the hotel provides your mat, towel, water and a smoothie. Cost $50.

How to Manage Your Finances During Each Stage of Life
Every household is affected directly by finances, no matter how much money its members make. Often, it is worries over finances.
According to the 2013 Financial Literacy Survey sponsored by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 77% of respondents admitted to having financial worries. In addition, 57% of Americans indicated worry over a lack of savings and 43% worry about not having enough "rainy day" savings for an emergency; 38% are concerned about retiring without having enough money set aside.
Saving money is a concern for the majority of Americans, but 40% of adults in the United States gave themselves a grade of C, D or F on their knowledge of personal finance. The majority feel they could benefit from additional advice and answers to everyday financial questions from a professional.
Here are financial management tips for each stage of your life:
Start saving now. Teenagers get money for birthdays, allowance and jobs. At this early age, they should develop the habit of putting money into a savings or investment account, even collecting loose change to add to this. Over time, small sums grow with interest.
Make a budget. Budgeting is important, even for teenagers. This is the time for them to start paying for entertainment, clothing and cellphone bills. They should keep a list of every expense, no matter how small, so they know where their money goes. This will make them think twice about the importance of each purchase.
Young adults
Young adults are carrying less debt than before the start of the 2008 recession, primarily because they own fewer major assets, according to recent analysis from the Pew Research Center. The share of younger households with debt of any kind dropped to 78%, the lowest level since the government began collecting this data 30 years ago. The share of young adults with credit card debt dropped to 39% in 2010 from 48% in 2007. Debt from student loans was the only major type of debt to increase. It accounted for 15% of the total debt for young adults in 2010, up from 9% in 2007.

Business is picking up during draft week as calls are being made all across the NFL.
One report of interest from the Boston Globe Thursday states the Cleveland Browns have had discussions with the New England Patriots about Cleveland's sixth overall pick. The Browns have made it no secret they are open to trading down in the draft to acquire more picks, and New England has more quality selections than any team, including two in the first round.
According to the draft value chart many teams use, Cleveland's No. 6 pick (1,600 points) would require New England's No. 17 and No. 28 picks (total of 1,610 points) to get equal value. If the Patriots are willing to part with both first-rounders this year, the Browns should definitely consider it. There's also a combination of picks in the later rounds New England could put together, along with one first-round pick, to equal the same value.
Cleveland has a lot of holes to fill, including defensive end, defensive tackle, wide receiver, right offensive tackle and safety. So a trade down could help plug some of these holes.

I think, if Green and Peterson are off the board, you take this.

He has a compact motion, holding the ball chest-high to execute a fluid three-quarter release...Seems more comfortable airing the ball out, rather than playing dink-and-dunk with a short-area passing game (accuracy is a bit off on screens, wheel routes)...Effective at throwing ropes 40 yards downfield with ease...Accurate throwing from the pocket and has the balance to also make those throws on the move...Consistent setting his feet and shows good mechanics delivering the ball on time...Likes to air the ball out more than stay underneath, as he knows how to get the ball to his targets in stride rather than have them wait or come back for it...Keeps his cool under pressure and knows that when all else fails, he has the feet to step up and avoid the pocket pressure...Stands tough under duress and shows confidence in his ability to execute the play...Patient waiting for plays to develop and does a very good job with ball security...Vocal on the field, demonstrating a little bit of Brett Favre with his bravado...Capable of getting big yardage with his feet and is a dangerous threat running with the ball...As a ballcarrier, he shows good strength and body lean to gain additional yardage after the initial hit and is conscious of protecting the ball and shielding it from the defenders...Builds to top acceleration nicely and is alert to coverages (won't run into spots too often)...Knows how to get the ball to his deep targets over their outside shoulder without the receiver having to adjust. Negatives: Needs to add more bulk and has just adequate height for a drop-back position, but does a good job of scanning the field and his mobility could be an asset in a spread offense...Must work on his timing a bit (needs to take a bit off those tosses to make it easier for the receiver to secure without having to adjust), but has the vision to scan the field and make good progression reads...Gets the ball through the throwing arc well and has a lively arm, but needs to learn how to vary his speed at times (puts too much zip on his short throws)...Has good arm strength, but when he fails to set his feet properly, his throws will wobble...Has not faced as many complex defenses as he will experience in the NFL, but he shows good anticipation and timing making all of his throws.

10 Holiday Jobs for Retirees
Retirees could be looking for part-time work that keeps them occupied or to help make ends meet, and their flexibility during the holidays makes them an asset for retailers.
"Employers are also looking to hire someone who is responsible and reliable -- two attributes an older worker has in their quiver," says Kerry Hannon, author of Great Jobs for Everyone 50+: Finding Work That Keeps You Happy and Healthy ... And Pays the Bills.
The holidays are a perfect opportunity for job-seekers, and "forecasts for holiday hiring are looking stronger than last year," Hannon adds.
Here are 10 holiday jobs Hannon recommends for retirees, arranged generally from maximum earning potential to the lowest.
Santa Claus
Median pay range: From $10 an hour to thousands of dollars per season. Contract pay for the 40-day season can range from around $10,000 for a rookie to more than $50,000 for a more experienced player, depending on the mall and location.
Qualifications: It helps if you look the part -- older, plump, a white beard and a jovial laugh. Santas can be of any race, depending on the venue, but they must be male. (There are some openings for Mrs. Santas and Santa's helpers, too.) Having a natural beard is often a prerequisite, but you can dye it if necessary and padding can be tucked in to get that jelly belly. Expect a criminal background check and drug screening.
Job-hunting tips: Contact smaller malls, department stores, photo shops and special event party planners directly for openings.
Check local classified ads. National staffing services typically provide Santa impersonators to the larger malls. Three of the bigger ones: Cherry Hill Photo Enterprises , Worldwide Photography and Noerr Programs You'll need to apply online and go for an in-person interview. If they like your look and attitude, you'll slip into costume and makeup for headshots, which are sent to the mall reps for selection.
If you're picked, the service will negotiate your contract and send you to Santa school for tips on appropriate behavior and conversations, suggestions for calming kids and makeup help. Don't forget your flu shot.
Call center representative
The hours: Many call centers are open extended hours or staffed around the clock. Peak times may not last for a full shift, so you may be slotted for part time or work a split shift.
Median pay range: Median hourly wages of customer service representatives range from less than $9.15 to more than $23.24.

Why did Nitish Kumar walk out of the NDA? Three explanations have been offered. The first is Nitish's own version. He says that he cannot be part of an alliance whose effective prime ministerial candidate is Narendra Modi, who Nitish regards as anti-Muslim and divisive. [Read more]
About Vir Sanghvi
Most people will tell you that this has been a week of mixed fortunes for the Congress. On the one hand, the party won an impressive victory in Karnataka, crushing the BJP. And on the other, it was forced to sack two central ministers. So, the pundits will say, there has been good news and bad news and the signals are far from clear.
A few years ago, I heard Imran Khan speak at the HT Leadership Summit. He was part of a panel that was discussing Kashmir and when it was time for questions, the cricketer-turned-politician turned his attention to the subject of terrorism. [Read more]
What does the Twitter battle between Congress and BJP supporters over Narendra Modi's speech to the FICCI ladies organisation tell us? Quite a lot, actually. Here are some of the major conclusions. [Read more]
I don't know if you have noticed but today, Friday 5 April, is the 14th day of Arvind Kejriwal's indefinite fast. Kejriwal has lost 8.5 kilos and as a diabetic, his condition must give cause for concern. [Read more]

Doniford Halt
Station facilities
Doniford Halt (or Doniford Beach Halt as it's identified on the OS maps) is a pretty little platform with a heritage GWR 'pagoda' waiting room and views from the platform bench of the surrounding farmland, Quantock Hills and Steep Holm Island in the distance rising from the silvery Bristol Channel.
The recent opening of the free-entry Doniford Farm Animal Park has added to the attraction of the fossil beach to burgeon the use of the halt, particularly by families with young children. At present passengers have to walk along the narrow Doniford Road from the halt (negotiations for a footpath along the field are in hand).
The halt was built by the West Somerset Railway itself and opened in 1987 to serve the local community, self-catering and holiday campsites. Heritage materials were used: the 'pagoda' from the old Exe Valley line; and the platform sections from Montacute on the GWR's Taunton to Yeovil line.
Over the last few years Doniford Halt has been subject to a lot of tender loving care and now, set in its own lawned island in the fields, the quiet atmosphere, curved, flowered platform and lovely views have brought holiday-makers and locals just to sit on the benches and relax in the beautiful Somerset countryside. There is no ticket office, so you buy your tickets on the train, or at the holiday camp, or on the internet. Neither are there any other facilities - just peace, broken by the occasional passing steam train!
This is a request stop, so in order to catch a train you have to put your hand out to signal to the driver, just as if you were at a bus request stop! On the way back you need to be in one of the front coaches (the platform's too short for more than three) and tell the guard you want to get off at Doniford.
What to see and do nearby
Doniford Farm on the West Somerset coast, have a large licensed tea room / coffee shop, with a farm shop.
Selling local fresh produce, local meats, free range eggs, Indoor and outdoor seating, for those wanting to enjoy the fantastic panoramic views of the Bristol channel, with free entry and access to the animal enclosures.
There are plenty of friendly farm animals to meet including Alpacas, plus some more exotic animals and birds of prey. They have their very own Meerkat Manor and Lots of fantastic farmyard buildings to explore, with indoor and outdoor areas for the children to run off all that energy!
Right on the banks of the Bristol channel, with access to the beach, they cater for all sized parties, young and old, and have parking for over 40 vehicles.
Open 10-4 every day until March, then 10-5 Mon to Sat and 10-4 Sunday for the rest of the year.
Doniford Bay Caravan Holiday Park is a short walk from the station as is Doniford Beach.

That seems like a lot for Edwards to me, no? I've no doubt that the market will pay him that, but for a guy who lined up opposite Jared Allen and those big space-cloggers on the d-line in Minny, I think you have to take his #'s with a grain of salt.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I pulled an Askew and watched a full season of Minny defensive football or anything, but I can't imagine the guy faced very many doubleteams.
I agree it's to much, and everything I have read on him has stated he hasn't sniffed a double team since graduating from Purdue. But to play devils advocate, if the rook Taylor arrives as advertised (i.e. A line clogging double team machine) Then Edwards may very well continue the production he displayed in Minny. That being said 8.5 sacks a year, doesn't seem worth anything north of $60 mil.

Sherri, I was browsing Cozumel Websites the last few days. I came across yours. I have never found a website so detailed to a destination in my life! You supply all the information a traveler could ever want!
You give us how to get there, what to do while we are there, where to stay, how to travel, what to do if we get sick, where to eat, and it just goes on and on!
Thank you for taking the time that you spent in making this my new favorite site!
I wish every vacation destination had a site like this! BRAVO!
Jim Piere ~ Simi Valley CA 93063
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your publication. We use it as our go-to-source for our Cozumel vacation. So much great information in one place. We are here for the month of April and use your advertisers for many of our adventures.
R. & R. King (April 2015) ~ Lincoln, CA USA
My husband and I had the "BEST" time at your park. The dolphin encounter was truly amazing! We can't wait to come back and let our children experience it. It is on the top of our "to do" list with our children. Thanks for the exceptional hopitatily!
S. and R. Ketron ~ Cincinnati, OH USA
I must admit, booking our excursion through you and not the cruise ship was unsettling but once we got to your facility all of our doubts were gone. Your park and staff were first class, professional, friendly and even the dophins looked happy. Thank you for a truly once in a life time experience. Your quick response to my e-mails was also appreciated. I can assure you I will recommend your park to anyone that tells me they are going on a cruise. Thanks again.
Andressen Family ~ Belle Chasse, LA USA
I just wanted to take a minute now that I am home to tell you how much we enjoyed the park and all the activities you helped me set up. The sea lion swim was amazing and the show following was really enjoyable. The dolphin swim didn't work out for all of us but we are planning to do the Disney cruise again one day and we will be back for sure. The park is very beautiful and we could not do it all in one day. Look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks Once again!

Seth Greenberg looks at where he and America went wrong with their brackets.
Welcome to the 2014 Men's Tournament Challenge. It's that time of year again, when all chatter about teams involves phrases like "body of work," good wins, bad losses, and of course, RPIs, résumés and the dreaded bubble. Once the field of 68 has been announced, though, how teams got in matters little, and the excitement of filling out your bracket begins.
All you have to do is select who you think will win each of the 63 tournament games that take place from March 20 on (for those hoping to pick the First Four games, you'll have to give our Streak for the Cash game a try). For each game you get right, you earn points. The point value for a correct pick increases with each round of the tournament, culminating with the championship game on April 7. Once you've made your selections, all you do is sit back, relax and pull for your picks to survive and advance.
If you score the most points, you'll have a chance to win the grand prize of a $10,000 Best Buy gift card.
Considering the unpredictable nature of the tournament every year, you certainly don't have to be a college basketball savant to be successful. It's a fun and easy game to play against friends, family and coworkers. You'll see the seeds on the bracket, which will give you a better idea of which teams are expected to advance in each round. But don't be too influenced by those numbers next to each team, because upsets happen every year, and picking the right ones is what separates the haves from the have-nots in Tournament Challenge.
And that's where the real fun lies.
It's your bracket. Pick whichever teams you want. And better yet, we'll give you the opportunity to fill out up to 10 different brackets, so you can get creative with your picks, if you so choose. Pick the school with the best colors, take your chances with the schools closest to where you live or play the mascot card when determining your selections.
Want to be bold and take a huge underdog to reach the Final Four? If you know someone who pegged Wichita State last year, or Butler or VCU to get that far in 2011, it's likely they'll never let you forget it. In the past two years, 15-seeds have scored three wins in the Round of 64, and last year FGCU became the first No. 15 to reach the Sweet 16. Will recent results like that persuade you to go crazy with upsets, or do you expect higher seeds to hold up their end this year?
It's been an interesting season, as three teams entered February unbeaten (Arizona, Syracuse, Wichita State). Meanwhile, Kansas has been an impressive schedule and has the talent to make a deep run. And Michigan State, which held down the No. 1 spot in the polls earlier in the season, is hoping to get healthy in time to make lots of noise.
Take your best shot to stand out from the crowd in hopes of finding your name at the top of the leaderboard in April.

"Do It Yourself" Snorkel Tour
Cozumel is a top notch snorkel spot in the Caribbean and boasts incredible water clarity which is critical for a good snorkel experience. Since Cozumel is ranked in the top three as a world class diving destination, one simply has to put their face in the water to see why. And it simply stands to reason that as a world class scuba diving destination, Cozumel's snorkeling has to be awesome, too! Plus, Cozumel is an island just big enough to be an adventure but not so large that one feels intimidated going it alone to explore. So what better adventure to try than a "do it yourself" or "self guided" snorkel tour along the beautiful Cozumel coastline.
Now, If you'd like to consider getting certified to scuba dive rather than snorkel, then click here to learn more about
diving in Cozumel
. The good news is that a person does not have to know how to scuba dive in order to enjoy the exciting underwater beauty Cozumel has to offer. Cozumel is one of the few places where snorkeling is easy and very accessible not only by boat but along the shoreline as well so scuba is not necessary to enjoy the incredible snorkeling in Cozumel. The key to amazing snorkeling in Cozumel is knowing where to go!
What better way to explore the beauty of Cozumel's spectacular reefs and colorful tropical fish than by snorkeling. One can easily snorkel via a boat trip (click here for Our
Favorite Boat Snorkel Trips
) and luckily from shore as well.
Cozumel's shorelines gently slope toward deeper waters and provide miles of beautiful snorkeling just a couple of steps from the waters edge. With a simple set of mask, snorkel and fins and perhaps a flotation vest if necessary, a person can immediately enjoy the colorful underwater realm just a few yards off shore!
Snorkel Stops:
Lighthouse at Tio Joe's
Playa Villa Blanca
Barracuda Bar & Sand Dollar Beach
PalMar Estate and Dzul Ha
Butterfly Sanctuary Pit Stop
Playa Uvas
Playa Corona
Step 1:
Decide how you want to handle your equipment options. For those who really enjoy snorkeling and plan on doing it for a lifetime in various destinations, investing in a set of equipment is the best way to go. Having your own equipment saves rental fees and ensures you are always comfortable and accustomed to the gear. A decent set of snorkel equipment which consists of mask, snorkel and fins can easily be purchased for US$30 - $50 in the USA. Equipment for purchase is available here in Cozumel in most of the large supermarkets and dive shops however, since everything is imported to the island, prices will be higher. Snorkel equipment rental prices range US$ 12 -$ 20 daily and many locations now will not allow you to take their equipment off premises which will limit your ability to snorkel in various places around the island. So make your snorkel equipment decision based on how much you plan to snorkel!
If a beach is offering "FREE" snorkel equipment ~ typically this means they don't have much to see in the way of snorkeling. They give it away because folks go out for a few minutes and realize there's nothing but sand and then give up the equipment.
Also, decide if you feel you need to invest in a flotation device to assist you while snorkeling. Some feel most comfortable with the self inflatable snorkel vests. These are available for purchase in the US for US$ 30 - $50 each. Rental prices for snorkel vests run US$ 8-10 but again, many locations now will not allow you to take their equipment off premises.
Step 2:
Book a
rental car
now ... Since Cozumel has few paved roads around the island, you can rent a car and strike out on your own island tour with very little chance of getting lost. As long as adventurers stay on the pavement, they eventually come full circle around the island. Circling the island via paved road can take as little as 2 hours or as many as you want depending on how many stops you decide to make along the way!
Step 3:
Print the
Beach Chart
& this section about Cozumel's best snorkel spots!
Step 4:
Secure an island map. You can secure an island map from the car rental agency or you can order a most excellent one online from us and help support our website

Sherri, We just returned after a great cruise on the Carnival Holiday. We took a taxi from the cruise pier to Palmar Estate Beach Club and spent about 1/2 a day at your beautiful place. We toured the butterfly sanctuary with your wonderful guide who was informative and very gracious. I also spent quite a bit of time talking to Juan and he was delightful. We relaxed, ate chips and salsa, drank pina coladas and soaked in the sun. What a delightful place you have and a wonderful staff that made our visit great. Thanks and if we get a chance to recommend your place to others we will surely do that.
PS: Your website warned us that the taxi drivers may not be too helpful when asked to go to Palmar Estates and you were correct. After asking 3 drivers who all sort of turned up their noses at us and acted like they had never heard of your place or the butterfly sanctuary we found one that would listen. I told him it was between Hotel Presidente & Fiesta Americana and he said OK. Anyway we got there in only about 6-8 minutes from the pier.
Dale and Cathy Carlson ~ Louisville, KY USA
Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again.
The Kershek Family ~ Wisconsin, USA
I just wanted to take a minute now that I am home to tell you how much we enjoyed the park and all the activities you helped me set up. The sea lion swim was amazing and the show following was really enjoyable. The dolphin swim didn't work out for all of us but we are planning to do the Disney cruise again one day and we will be back for sure. The park is very beautiful and we could not do it all in one day. Look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks Once again!
F. Schenk ~ New Fairfield, CT USA
This tiny little jewel of a place made our trip to Cozumel so memorable and is perfect for a cruise ship passenger. It is a quick and inexpensive taxi-ride from either port used by the cruise ships (10 minutes or less). The stately well-maintained estate, grounds, and pool are gorgeous. Just a few steps away, across the street is the private beach owned by PalMar right on the Dzul Ha reef area. I'm not a diver, but even with just my goggles, I saw dozens of fish within just a few feet of the beach. We booked this an affordable excursion and we got so much more than we expected! We arrived early and sat on the private beach reading and enjoying the view. Very soon, the caretaker came over to invite us in, even though we were early. This sweet gesture typified the excellent service we received throughout our stay.
The entry fee included two drink coupons and we enjoyed diet sodas with a meal of chicken quesadillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and chips. The fare was simple (as the best food always is) and excellent. We also ordered tasty frozen cocktails (mango margarita and piña colada), and we definitely felt like "spoiled girls" as we swam, relaxed, and enjoyed delicious food with a view of the ocean.
When it was time for us to go, one of the employees hailed a taxi for us and getting back to the cruise port was quick and easy. I am delighted to give the PalMar Small Beach Club five stars for excellent service and a lovely facility.
V. Hallenbeck - October 2015 ~ Winston-Salem, NC USA
I am from Quebec and we reserved thru this website. We spent a day there during a cruise stop to Cozumel in March 2016. Taxi ride was short, not expensive and not complicated (if you follow Web instructions) and our experience of PalMar and it's staff was fantastic (no risk, you can trust them). Everything was exactly as written in the Web (including great meal). Water of the pool was warm and clean. For snorkeling, it was the best experience of my life (and I visited full of places in the world whose Turquoise Islands, St. Martin, Cuba, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, St. John, Culebra in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in Mexico) all just a few feet distance from the beach! Go there without hesitation!!! We met owner (Sherri) who was very welcoming. I would visit there again without hesitation.

Ranvir started her career at the BBC in local radio as a bulletin producer and reader, then moved to reporting, and by the time the Manchester Commonwealth Games came around in 2002, she was in the thick of it, presenting live programmes every morning, from around the city.
A screen test for regional TV beckoned soon after, and Ranvir quickly became a very well known face across North West England, co-presenting the daily evening show, which she did for four and a half years.
Alongside this, she was a regular voice on BBC Radio 5 Live, presenting almost every show going, from breakfast with Nick Campbell to drive with Peter Allen, and the late night phone ins.
In 2012, ITV came knocking, and the prospect of working on national and international news everyday, and interviewing the main players on live television, was far too tempting to resist. Her most memorable moments so far, have been reporting ahead of the G20 from Sierra Leone's slums, appearing on the University Challenge Christmas special and meeting Kermit.

This year has already seen Kate interview Michael Palin for his new travel show Around the World in 80 days and travel to Ethiopia for Daybreak.
