Hotel Posadas Addy Tulum

... ruins, beach, plants and wildlife of our day. Un-like the “National Geographic” I could not get them to close the park for the day in order not to have other people blocking the photographs!

Today we hit the beach for another day of reading, sun and swimming.

Check out the first picture, which is a short video. Just click on the picture and hit the "arrow".

Well, most of our time in Playa has revolved around the beach, as you would expect. It is, after all, one of the most beautiful beach towns ever. But the other advantage to Playa is itīs location -- itīs pretty easy to take day trips to any number of unique places. So Friday it was the ruins. There are two major ruins around here. Or, perhaps two popular ruins would be a better way of putting it ...

... place and basically gave up and booked in to the nearest hotel. The room was nice and clean, bath and shower were clean and I even turned on the airconditioner to check it was not the 80db model I had on Isla Mujeres :)

Had a little walk up and down the main street to try and finally locate the tourist information office without luck. Stopped by a dive shop to ask if the Tulum ruins ...

... is a road from Tulum-> Coba-> Valladolid-> Chinchen Itza. It is very good and it will take 2 hours from Tulum. These are some of our photos. We hope you can enjoy. Ciao!! Some Flowers and ...

... ruins on the beach (but we skipped this option), and is very hot. Today weīve just been sunning ourselves at the beach, remarking about the blue-ness of the water and how nice the sand was/is! Still, good things must come to an end, and so this evening we are travelling overnight to Belize City. We both feel like we need a change of country, we have been here for four weeks, and its great, but still a change is exciting! We must come back some time and do the rest, as there is a lot to ...

... beach a way and thought there must be people there, still it was great. I also visited the ruins which are diferent to Chichen Itza in themsleves, the construction etc. But special because they are on a cliff over the beach. You can take some great photos of ruins with sea in the background. On my last day in Tulum I wondered down to the tour office and asked about snorkling. There was a tour about to leave so I joined a group of Dutch students. I had never been ...

Beduino drove me to Tulum and nicely enough we were surpriseds to find out that Sundays mexican people don't pay entrance at any archeological site (we still had to pay parking. but I guess that is ok). Tulum is very well taken care.. a little to much.. it kind of takes the wild flavour away, but it's still very nice. There was a little train that takes you from the ...

... Local Experience" - sehr inspirirend fuer mich, da ich in einem Playa del Carmen Loch hing. So haben wir uns gleich nach unserem Aufeinandertreffen mit Fischerleinen bewaffnet auf die Jagt nach Baracudas gemacht. Ohne Erfolg, aber mit viel Vergnuegen. Das naechste Projekt war, einen Typen ausfindig zu machen, der eine Insel aus PET Flaschen baut... Nach einigen Chats mit den Locals hat Marco unseren neuen Freund Richie ...

... was a few beers and early night as I had diving the next morning. Next day, up bright and early, and, Happy Birthday to Me, etc. Today's dives were something special; instead of the ocean I was diving in Cenotes, which are limestone caverns filled with water, in this case crystal clear fresh water. It's a spooky experience at first, swimming through caverns with the occasional shaft of sunlight overhead, creating vivid blue pools of light. It's also a good diving skills test, as you ...

... passes we kept checking into in Tulum Pueblo. Chris finishes her packing, and expresses her displeasure at having to leave our newfound paradise. Tulum, that is. We load our backpacks into Zach's rental car and head to the lobby. We four are going to have one last breakfast at Copal. As I'll be paying cash, I decide to check out of our room before eating. I wouldn't say that I was suspicious, but I was indeed quite attentive during the ...
