Disorderly Tulum

After convincing Sarah to stay a night in Valladolid so we could go the long way home through tulum, I was hoping for a great day. Although starting off well enough, it quickly took a turn for the worst when we got off the bus and discovered that getting around wouldn't be easy. Uber is the easiest and cheapest mode of transport, but some destinations block access, so you're forced to get a taxi. As such, getting to the ruins (an 8-minute drive) was going to cost 30 dollars. Alternatively, we could go and see some of the cenotes that Mexico is famous for. Yet, at maybe 15 minutes of driving, this would cost 60 dollars. We were shocked and left without an idea of what to do. After some deliberation, we abandoned all our plans and decided to spend it by the beach. Making the decision to visit Tulum ended by being fruitless and expensive. We had to walk about 45 minutes to the beach in the hot sun, but when we arrived, it admittedly was beautiful. I'm not sure it made up for the detour, but we enjoyed the sun nonetheless. After a quick lay down and a swim, it was time to make the return trip. This time, we caught a cheap, public transport shuttle (that dont go to the cenotes) thing that we didn't know existed, and we saved money and got back relatively quickly. After this, we grabbed an authentic Mexican meal from Subway and waited for our bus. By the time we arrived back in Cancun, it was very late and so we both passed out watching David Attenborough.Meer informatie
