Tulum

Just spent 3 days in Tulum, on the Carribean coast of Mexico. A quick summary would be beach, beach, beach and Pina Colada... on the beach. For the Mayan ruins, forget it, there is nothing much to see. This place has the clearest water I have ever swam in, it is really the Caribean here.


Spent the 1st night in an empty hotel where I got eaten alive by flees. Spent the next 2 days in a very hippy hostel where everybody did hippy stuff: dread locks everywhere, playing with fire, juggling... I did not do the usual cabana night on the beach: it is super nice but very very quiet, and absolutely nothing to do at night.But if I ever get married, that´s where I would love to come for the honey moon. If my wife to be is reading... well you know.


Spent a great night on the beach with 2 beautiful English/Australan girls... and it happened to be Nic´33rd birthday. Also went snorkling in Cenotes which are caves with water that you can discover snorkling or scuba diving. The Yucatan peninsula has 2700 of these and the ones I saw where wonderful. We went underground in confined spaces where you can only snorkel (or scuba dive) from one cave to another (see pix below).


Ah, and something else. In Tulum, pharmacies play salsa really loud out on the street as they do not have window. It is almost a happy thing to go and buy medecines here. A big change from our dull pharmacists dressed in white back in Europe.
