La Tortuga Playa del Carmen

... crazy or what!

The next morning we signed up for a 1/2 day, 3 stop boat trip (see picture) to go snorkeling. The water is very clear and blue with may different types of fish, It was a great day!

Our last day we took a cab to the “Money Bar Beach” (I guess they call it that because the price of the drinks) and enjoyed a day of tanning and some snorkeling.

... Darcy and I thought that the beaches are better! You rent a beach lounge chair and umbrella for the day and take in the beautiful view.


Tourist activity in “Playa” centers on Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian walkway (stretching about 1 mile) located just 1 or 2 blocks inland from the beach which is lined with boutique hotels, shops, bars, and restaurants. We stayed 1 block off of 5th Avenue which made it ...

Today, my husband and I arrived in Cancun international airport after 6 hour flight from Seattle. No hassle going through immigration and custom. However, before going out from the airport, we were greeted by "friendly" people that were selling timeshare. They told us if we were going to use public transportation, they are the only one who can help us with it. I think that's a lie. Since we rent a car ...

... on my face I hopped on a bus and, at exactly midnight, pulled out of Playa Del Carmen.
This was my last day in Mexico, my favorite country I have visited to date. After traveling through some more of Central America I have realized that I may not have seen as much, but probably been happier staying in Mexico. It is a country that is difficult to explain, neither third or first world. I guess that makes it second world. A country with developed facilities but ...

... but I had wanted to see the pyramid there, which is basically a giant mayan calander, that at certain times of the year does weird things with solar and lunar alignments. Apart for the pyramid, the ruins we fairly depressing, not really worth the 6:10 start. From here I made my way to Ek Balam, some ruins that are in the midde of nowhere. This took a bus from Chichen to the nearest town and then a collectivo taxi to the ruins. They were more impressive than Chichen ...

... onsdag var der poolparty og torsdag holdt vi "Aussie Barbie" paa skolen, paa trods af totalt stroemsvigt i hele byen (hvilket sker jaevnligt), hvilket naturligvis begge mundede ud i endnu en aften paa foernaevnte dansegulv. Fredag var min sidste dag i Playa og heldigvis naaede jeg endelig ud til én af de beroemte Cenotes som, kort fortalt, er store kratere midt i landskabet fyldt med det klareste vand. (soeg paa google: Mexico AND ...

... worth it! We gingerly stepped and walked into the jungle and didn't speak but in whispers and low voices. It wasn't long before we came upon a family of howlers high up in the ...

... chicken pocket things for 90 cents. Pretty sweet deal. Wasn't sure if should eat them before a long bus ride but it all worked out for the best. Darby sat with richard and he explained to him about the reptilians that are controling the world. Darby loved it.Other than that not much worth telling on the bus trip to chetumal. We arrived in chetumal and phoned the van that drove us there to pick us up. Once again we had an hour to wait so we went to the ...
