Pull up to the bumper in Playa del Carmen

May 2nd 2016
HE SAID... We were leaving Tulum this afternoon and heading northeast to Playa del Carmen. Feeling suitably refreshed from snorkelling with turtles and swimming in a local cenotes (natural sinkhole) after our tour of the bustling Tulum Ruins, we jumped into the minibus and headed to Playa del Carmen, arriving at our hotel (Casa Tucan) at 4pm.

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing. We love the little corner of south eastern Australia we call home, but we are at our happiest when throwing ourselves into a new adventure and experiencing new cultures.

Your song and a touch of the authentic
So now, when you hear, ‘Are You With Me,’ I imagine you may always be transported by to Playa Carmen. I love these aural links. How lovely that you wandered upon the adorable, little church with the voladores and the Aztec dancers--a touch of the authentic in this generic beach party town.

Always those trade-offs!
