Tulum

---

Hi all and greetings from Tulum in Quintana Roo! I pitched up here, late on Wed night with no reservation, smart move eh!? I got the van driver to take me to a few places by the beach, most of which were closed by the time I arrived. After 4 attempts I managed to find some cabanas at an eco-tourism place. I was tired by this time so just paid up front for the cabana. There was no electricity so it was pitch black and I could barely make out what I was staying in. Anyway I went to bed and despite what felt like sand in the bed I had a good nights sleep. In the morning I awoke to find the 'sand' was actually what looked like mouse crap and dead spiders! I managed to last a second night but after trying to avoid what looked like flying cockroaches I cracked, left in the morning and checked into a fivesstar hotel down the road...the aircon has never felt so good! Despite this, the beach was amazing and I enjoyed a couple of trips to the local Mayan ruins. Tomorrow I head off to Flores in Guatemala and hope to see the mother of all Mayan ruins at Tikal.
