It’s the end of day 3 in Tulum and it has been action packed!
After a very long travel day we had a good night’s sleep in our little condo. The next morning we walked to check out the sights and ended up walking for hours to get to the beach. If getting a sunburn was on the list I checked it off on the first day! We found an amazing local seafood place for dinner that night.
We were a bit smarter on day 2 and took a cab to the Tulum ruins, followed by some beach time. The beach here is beautiful, but very windy every day so far. A definite highlight was drinking piña coladas at a beach bar.
Today we rented bikes and rode out to a cenote, which is an underground river cave area where you can swim and explore. This one, Gran Cenote, had little turtles swimming around in it. We rode back to town, lunched at a taqueria, then rode to hotel row along the beach. It was cool to see all of the kite surfers until a freak rainstorm had us cowering under trees for shelter.
We are definitely enjoying the hot weather and the chance to practise speaking Spanish. Hasta luego!
Oops!! I guess that's one tip I could have given you. The beach isn't really that close to town.
