Translation of guadaña

When I saw the small plane I did not feel all to good about flying back to Cancun. It had only twenty four seats and was driven by propeller, which made a lot of noise. Fortunately the weather was good.
Anyway, there were no direct connections between here and Yucatan, so that I needed to drive to another city, around 2 hours by coach. That being said, I wanted to enjoy and relax up here a little more.
The ice blocks that usually break off during the summer started already to break off in spring due to the Global warming. The glaciers in general were loosing volume as we were told and as we could see.
