Travelling Alone Again
... to Cozumel to do my 4 day diving course, which I am really looking forward to. It´s been really cloudy today, and as Playa Del Carmen is basically just about the beaches there isn´t all that much to do. Speaking of which, in reference to the title of ...
Maya Riviera II - there are worse places to wait
Intussen in Playa Del Carmen aangekomen waar we in één van de Riu's, één van de ketens die de Riviera Maya domineert, verblijven. Een hotel gericht op met een coctail naast het zwembad liggen, in een hangmat liggen, op het strand liggen, of op een ...
Tan-tanistic!
... to say after doing this 4 or 5 times I eventually figured out where my stop was...eventually. In Playa Del Carmen there numerous posters advertising something called the BPM festival....something like 96 DJ's over 10 days, day AND night ...
Valentines Day!
... I couldnt concentrate, so I dropped it off at home and headed to the "Blue Parrot Beach Bar"; supposedly one of the best in Playa Del Carmen. Its quite a cool place - dancefloor on the beach, swings for chairs, etc etc. It also has some of the best music ...

No change
No México não há troco. Para nada. Nem para meio Euro. E não importa se antes alguém comprou um sofá com uma mesa de centro, em moedas de 1 peso. Estranhamente, o buraco negro que parece existir ao lado de qualquer caixa registadora, ...

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
For Cancun, I didnt really like it much... Way too touristy and expensive! It doesn't even feel like its Mexico there, so I wont really write too much about it. One of the days we went to an island about 45 minutes boat ride away, which ...
But I thought...
But I thought Cancun was the destination the Americans swamp on the Yucatan? Apparently Playa del Carmen (which the Lonely Planet claims is the fastest growing city not only in Mexico, but in the world) is popular too, and looks to have been Americana'ed ...

Beach town, but pretty
We had dinner at Babe's noodle bar on 10th street off Quinta. It was quite tasty and more affordable than restaurants on the strip. I wholeheartedly recommend Ah, Cacao! at the end of the Quinta. It's a cafe chocolate bar. It's very reasonably ...
