we are finally meeting fiona and simon in playa del carmen! it is so great to see them and it feels as if nothing has changed and it was just a few days ago that we all partied in the Rathmines Mansion :) after dark cuban streets with empty-shelved shops playa is such a shock to our systems. our eyes are popping out at all the shops and all the stuff to buy. literally the whole town jsut screems : ´buy , buy , buy´. no wonder, it is full of americans. no offence. but the beach itself is beautiful with white sand, clear blue water and palm trees. im delighted to chill for a bit... sunbathe, swim, eat nice food, go danicing and just wander around. we go to see mayan ruins in chichen itza and get the most ridiculous guide ever, so we eventually ditch him and just wander by ourselves. we also get to go to a lovely cenote and i swim around. agnieszka breaks her toe (!) but thankfully she doesnt get to wear a cast, and hopefully she will be able to limp around central america... i so wanted to go diving around the playa but they cancelled it coz the sea was too rough. boooo. i guess we will have to find another place where i can see the coral reef.
we say goodbye to fi and si and start making our way down south through the yucatan penisula. we stop in tulum to see the most beautifully located mayan ruins. the ruins itself are not too impressive (or maybe we are becoming ´ruined out´) but they are located on the clif just next to the lazur caribbean sea and that makes tulum one of the most beautiful places i have seen. i jump into the sea and enjoy the view from below. wow :) (photos will follow shortly).
we were supposed to go straight to guatemala as we are really running out of time now, but i want to make a little detour and try diving in caye caulker in belize so we are getting ourselves there for a day.
