That's a good story, I've had my run in with Mexican police living in south Texas. Usually cost a few bucks but ends in a handshake and a smile. Back when it was safe to cross the border we even bargained the "tip" or fine down a bit.
Hey all, long time visitor to Isla. Will be there 8 days in May then to TTR. Policia are getting bad at stopping the carts now. Even if the passengers are drinking while on the cart, THEY WILL STOP YOU!! Jrpedro got lucky. Do the bar hops, but please do not have open containers in the cart. Yeah it sucks now. Use to be you could have a open container in the cart.
We just booked the day of through the ferry company where you buy tickets for the ferry. When you get to the cart rental place they are turning walk ups away but we got a receipt from the ferry company from our departure location, walked up, gave them the receipt, and they gave us a cart. I think most of them are reserved by the ferry company.
We might be up for that guys! With another couple we've been chatting with that's also mentioned that day trip
