Our First Excursion
Well, we had a great time at Coba, the Mayan village and swimming in our first cenote (say-no-tay - underground water cave). It was fabulous to say that we walked up the 120 steps of the Coba temple (42 meters high) and had a look around - ...
Vamos a Xpu-ha

Fun in the sun and fun after dark
I rented a car today. I'm so tired of paying almost 18 dollars (or more) to get to and from town. It’s not much more expensive to rent a car for the week. And now I can get to the other side of the island without having to pay an arm ...
The first few days!

Playa del Carmen!
Playa del Carmen fica na Rivieira Maia, no Caribe. É uma cidade com ambiente descontraído, e na quinta avenida - a avenida principal - ficam muitas lojas, restaurantes e cafés. Encontrei até uma loja da Mormaii por lá! :) Pretendíamos ficar somente ...
I can't get enough of this place!

Tulum ruins

Too much fun

Bievenido a la playa!
... since the majority of it is taking place in Northern Mexico and my final destination is in the center in Mexico City! Anyway, we're now in Playa del Carmen (translation: Carmen's beach) to hopefully step up my tan. I highly doubt it though. I think ...

So we arrived in Playa del Carmen and as it was the afternoon we were briefed on what there was to do at the hotel. Spent most of the day just wandering the streets and grabbing some local cuisine (tacos of course!) and had a few beers or ...
Jesus it's hot here
Firstly, if you ever come to playa del carmen and aren't good with the heat, do not stay in Hostel 3B. They are total air con stinges. They didn't turn it on till 10pm and then turned it off at 7am. This meant that within half an hour it was baking and I ...

Tips for traveling with kids
This is what we do to make traveling with Mecca easier: -Buy her a couple of new items that she can't open until we are on the road. In the past it was a new doll, but this time it was new markers, a Justin Bieber picture and question book, a maze ...
