Tulum (Mexico)- photos 1






Tulum (Mexico):

We arrived in Tulum after a bus journey from Belize City via Chetumal. Here we decided to stay in the town centre and not to move in a hotel close to the beach because there was no collectivo service between the centre and the beach (only taxi charging quite a lot of money) and because of the price will be more exp
ensive.

First thing I did prior to visiting Tulum was to buy a new camera. Lee's camera takes nice pictures {and Lee too} but it is too complicated for me so I needed absolutely a new one if I wanted to continue to write this blog. Lucky, I found a Sony camera similar to my broken one. Now we were ready to see Tulum and its surroundings!

We rented bikes and went for a swim in the cenotes or underwater caves. Here we can swim, snorkle or dive. Then we went to visit the Mayan ruins, probably the closest ruins to the beach. Colours of the water were amazing as you will see on the pictures. Then before returning to town we stopped to the beach for a swim. It was 35C and we were all sweaty!!!

- Cenote Calavera. It is like a big hole...
- ...in which Lee was having a swim. He borrowed equi
pment for snorkling from a couple of Canadians and explored
the cave which had a very clear water,
- The beach, su
p
erb turquoise water and white sand. Also not crowded, very nice,
-
Very relaxing atmosp
here on the beach,
- There were iguanas everywhere here. And they were easy to take in
picture a little used too probably. This one gave me its better smile!
