As I see, I’ve only uploaded couple of pictures from Bacalar. But by this time we already have been to Tulum and Playa del Carmen as well. In a fact - we are in Playa at the moment. Not planning to go to Cancun (only to the airport). And to be honest - the closer we get to Cancun, the more touristic everything is. Bacalar was so nice and quiet and more like a real life. Tulum was already a little bit more touristic and Playa is actually pretty bad in that case :D Can’t imagine how Cancun is...
Our second day we went to the beach. Yes, it’s freaking pretty. Yes, it looks like we have googled all the pictures. But yes, it’s actually that pretty.
Only minus - loads of seaweed. Everywhere. Tried to swim and that freaking seaweed was in my mouth, ears, eyes, hair, even my pants and bra. Oh well, everything can’t be perfect, can it be?
Our faces because all of that seaweed :D
One day we rented bicycles. And if you know me well, you know that I do not like bicycling. At least not too much, not even close to how Anu loves it. But I love her, so I will do it :D We went to see the ruins by the beach, but the ticket to get in was quite pricey and since we just had seen Mayan ruins in Tikal, Guatemala we decided to skip these ones. We still had a really nice bike ride. Even though, poor Anu always had to wait for me, because I am veeeeery slow on a bicycle... Sorry! :D Yeah, you do not want to go on a bicycle trip with me. I would rather run next to you.
Anu absolutely loving it.
And that cheesy sign picture (and that lovely truck back there).
And I have to mention we have noticed (specially in Tulum) that all the walls are so cool and nicely decorated.
By the time we made it to Playa del Carmen, we didn’t really want to see the sun anymore. Yes, we are using sunblock. A strong one. But still, it’s really intense here. (Well, by today, it’s already nice again. I could see the sun :D)
So we spent the day just being on the roof in the hostel, in a shade of course, and we read our books. Went to the beach around 6 P.M. just for a swim.
In the evening we were on the hostel’s roof again and every Thursday some people are playing Dominos there :D So we joined as well! And you know, people, Anu killed them all :D She was just so good at this. Also, after 12 A.M. they sang me birthday song. In three languages! My birthday came very well.
The next day we changed the hostel, but we were back in the evening for my birthday party, on top of the roof again. We grilled the best burgers ever. Went to bed around 6 A.M.
The next day we slept till 11 A.M. and went to the beach around 3 P.M. We got to see a wedding!
Also, we wanted to have a nice dinner yesterday. So we were walking around the town and were thinking about Mexican food obviously, but then we saw Chinese food place and we were sold :D It was freaking good.
So today in agenda: show Walmart to Anu :D Also, back our bags. Long flight is ahead of us (and it’s not nearly as long as most of our bus drives have been during these past couple of weeks). We are going to London! And yes, we will be back in Europe for a while. Never know exactly when, but we will see your lovely faces soon!
