Playa Del Carmen & Tulum


After a few weeks inland it was time to hit the coast for some R&R, sun and swimming! Our first stop was Playa Del Carmen, Mexico's answer to Miami.

It was definitely a bit of a treat to have access to so many yummy restaurants including our favourite after-dinner icecream stop, Haagen Dazs, as well as first class service on the beach with waiters, sun beds & unbrellas to chill-out during the day.







We had a day on the island of Cozumel, a 45 minute ferry ride from Playa which is only really accessible if you have a car or moto. We opted for the moto which provided lots of entertainment as we cruised along the coastline of the island, stopping in at beaches here & there for a drink & swim.  Despite the potholes & some crazy Mexican drivers, we made it back without a scratch!

A quick 1 hour bus trip and we were at Tulum, the sleepy beachside town just South from Playa which seemed like a world away.

Just a short ride from town were kilometres of beautiful coastline which looked a lot like the NSW South Coast!


Here we met some cute friends. These guys have the ultimate backyard to play in!
