Riu Tequila - All Inclusive 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.

... as a small fishing village and artists' colony, without it becoming as large and metropolitan as Cancún. To this end, the city passed an ordinance limiting buildings to 3 stories.

There is a significant European influence in Playa, with a number of local business proprietors drawn from the European expatriate community.

We happened to be here when they were have the "Riviera Maya Jazz Festival", which was held at the beach.

... The view is just amazing. I love watching sunrise every morning, something I never done at home :).

Puerto Aventuras is an upscale and guarded community. It is located 15 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. It is popular for its marina. You can easily find fishing companies in this area. Also, it's a place for swimming with dolphins. They have free dolphins show everyday about 12 o'clock.

... decent night sleep. I wake at 7 ish and am currently sitting out of the balcony as Playa Del Carmen starts to come to life.

All the plans we had of things to do whilst here have gone out the window and we will eventually only have memories of the small area around our hotel and the day at Cozumel. We didn’t get to the ruins or swim in the Cenotes but that’s ok as we learnt to do something new – relax.

... Also on the bus we started to make a mexico song. Then we went to Burger King for dinner and on the way back we went to a shop called "moari fashion" and the lady didn't even know what maori was or where it came from "pffft" useless Mitchell

... We stopped off at a local taco place which was only $8 pesos per taco. I took a stab in the dark and ordered a 'chorillo' which turned out to be lamb and was tasty to I ordered another one! When we got to the beach it was gorgeous, white sand, crystal clear waters and palm trees. We stayed on the beach until around 5pm then headed back to the hotel past all the lovely restaurants and shops ...

... hour or so from Cancun. Cruise ship territory. The best known ruins around here is Tulum. They are not as impressive as the other ruins that we have just seen but the location on a beach makes them look like an old abandoned beach resort. Plan on doing as little as possible here.

... to unpack our clothes, then we unpack the ingredients for making margaritas and settle into the chairs on the patio looking out at the beautiful Caribbean Sea. This is the life ...

... to inform...but the person who could help me with it was not there. They told me to return the next day. I did not return....mainly because I want to find work in Mexico City..where I have friends living...and not far away in Playa del Carmen. Still....it is quite nice that this guy thought my Spanish was good enough for me to become a guide. Spend quite some time on the internet uploading pictures..and as well went to a bookstore to change my book into 2 new ones for a price of just ...
