Posada del Sol Tulum

... up chatting to 2 girls that worked there. One was mexican and the other an Argentinian named Christina. She was a lovely lady and we had a great time chatting about different things and she also helped me learn more spanish words. When she heard that I was going to be travelling in Argentina and Patagonia she told me to come back the next day as she would bring in a book of the area that she had. So I then left and went back to the hostel on my ****** bike.

... re plonge sous terre et réémerge 300m en aval. L´eau qui coule en surface sur cette distance forme des piscines naturelles d´un bleu,mais d ´un bleu.... :


4. Flores-Tikal ou j´ai visité l´un des plus grands sites maya (en surface). Pas mon préféré mais tresimpressionnant, avec la pyramide IV, notamment, qui culmine une hauteur vertigineuse de 64m.


5. Rio Dulce, une ville inintéresante en soi mais ...

... great even better than the first time.  We went to Gran Cenote and Temple of Doom, both were fun Gran Cenote is alot brighter than the others I have been to and there is a 3 meter hole you jump into for Temple of Doom, with your full kit on, it was alot of fun. After the cenotes we had lunch and caught the bus back to Limones.   Taxi from there back to base.  Another great trip.

... Spending 15 minutes walking around a deserted overgrown former resort in difficult terrain fully loaded and in searing heat. We hastened to the beach in search of a more fitting beach hut to spend our evening... Sand, bags, searing heat... in the distance activity appeared. Closer, a question was posed. "Is that women wearing no clothes?"... bags, heat... "I think so, otherwise that man is wearing really furry swimwear!".... A short cab ride later saw is in a basic ...

... t: Cenote-Diving. Cenotes sind die Grotteneingänge zu teils riesigen unterirdischen See- und Flusssystemen, die die gesamte flache karstige Yucatanhalbinsel unterziehen. "Der nächste Weltkrieg wird ums Wasser sein, und da wird das Süsswasserreservoir unter Yucatan eine Hauptrolle spielen" sagte der im Hostel rumhängende Bootsbesitzer - mal sehen. Auf alle Fälle sind die Cenotes eine sehr dekorative Angelegenheit und spannend zum Ertauchen. CavernDiving ...

... We then drove to Gran Cenote which is just 10 km west of Tulum on the road to Coba. There we paided the $80 pesos entranced fee and snorkeled and explored this cenote. There are caves to explore in this cenote. It was refreshing. Snorkeled for about 1 1/2 hours until we got chilled. Headed back to car and tried to go to Manatee Cenote again but it crowded again, so just headed back to the resort.

... they let you climb the thing so of course we had to. The tiring trip up was worth it: you're way higher than the forest canopy up there, and can see miles and miles of...forest canopy in every direction. Once down from the big pyramid, it was nearing closing time, so we rode back and briefly explored another grouping of buildings by the entrance. Another pyramid taunted me there, but it was shorter than the first one, so I ignored it.

... was in uniforms just like in tijuana. it?s interesting that in such a poor country, kids are required to wear uniforms that are expensive in order to go to school. �s sad really. but, it was good to see kids that went to school, because it reminded me that knowledge is power. pray for the kids in tulum, that they will all have an opporunity to get an education that will empower them. please pray for Toby and Alexandro. Toby did not agree ...

... quickly fell asleep. I could not have been any happier. Once awake and fully restored I ordered a nice cocktail from the waitor that constantly serviced our area. I certainly could have stayed here, but we had to get to Playa del Carmen. Eventually we managed to get out of the loungers and back into our car, back on the way north - next stop: Playa del ...

... water is crystal clear and you can see all kinds of crazy cave formations inside. Luckily, we arrived the same time as a woman who was guiding a snorkeling tour, because the caves are a little spooky until you get inside and your eyes adjust and you can see the formations. We spend the afternoon on the beach, we love Tulum, we love Mexico, all is good. But, things couldn't be good for too long. We planned on diving the next day, but I woke up about 3am feeling like death, again ...
