Playa del Carmen
... general herding that we have to go through to spend our hard earned cash (which we can spend anywhere remember) not just in Mexico. Top tip...... stay off the mile long walking street, 5th Ave, walk 2 blocks back, away from the ...
Burnt, ouch
Hmm, Playa del Carmen isn't as good as I'd remembered. Don't know if this is because I was a mere pup of 21 when was last here and therefore revelled in the Magaluf-like Brits abroad atmosphere, or whether the decrease in flight prices means Europeans now ...
damn you mother nature!

Mexico.. and how I've afforded it REVEALED!!
... 4x that price - the street is comparable to Surfers Paradise. Complete with drugged up baby lions, tigers and monkeys - horrible!! Playa Del Carmen is apparently described in the Lonely Planet as a hippie vibe town and far less touristy than Cancun. I ...

... . I´m quite sore on the back. I went to Tulum which is absolutely stunning, 45 minutes south of Playa Del Carmen by public transport (25 pesos... $US2.50). Tulum has Mayan Archeaological ruins situated on a hill overlooking the ...
Farewell Cuba!
... but apart from being seriously hungry (no cash at the airport in Cuba) I don't have much to report. It's good being back in Mexico, where I feel that things are more familiar. I might go out for drinks tonight if I can muster some energy after a long ...
Settling in
Playa del Carmen is a small town about half an hour from Cancun. By all accounts Cancun is pretty foul, like Ayia Napa or Magaluf for Americans. Playa (as everyone calls it) is still touristy but rather nice for all that and probably a good place to ease ...

La Ibiza De Las Americas
... place I've been to. But what it also has is great clubs and outstanding music. The best DJs set up there over the summer. Playa del Carmen doesn't stray from chart music at all, and as a result the music in clubs is fucking awful. I can understand that it ...
Relaxing in Playa del Carmen
I wandered down to the beach for an early morning swim. The water was cool enough to be refreshing, but still warm enough to enjoy. The beach here isn't the greatest though. There's rocks in the sand and some seaweed floating around. I lazed on the sand ...
