Tulum

After passing through Merida and finding it not to our liking, we headed straight for Tulum, where we stayed three nights. We spent hours locating or first spot to camp and then drove down the road and found a free spot for the second. Tulum is a cool little town that has a separate beach area where most of the whities stay.

The ruins wouldn't be that spectacular if they weren't right on the water; they have their own beach!


It was windy the whole time we were there and we were even treated to some nasty storm clouds and rain, which was nice for a change. We spent a lot of time at a little bar at one of the cabana-renting beach lodging places. They had a ping pong table and we played around 40 games; Alex won the majority of those. We met people from Oregon and Australia; had a great time as usual. On the way out we drove the ~70K to Punta Allen and back. This spot is another diver's mecca but we don't dive, so we looked around and decidd that while pretty, there was nothing to do. We drove back to Tulum for one more night's sleep before the next stop, Belice!!!
