    Playa Del Carmen

    January 29, 2023 in Mexico

    Got to CDMX airport 3 hours got distracted and had to sprint to our gate. We were the last ones on the plane and nearly missed it.

    I lost my first bank card. Think i left it inside the atm in Mexico City. 1 down. 2 to go.

    Arrived in Cancun and got the bus down to Playa Del Carmen. The beach at playa is nice, the expensive hotels and bars line the beach and there are seats etc. The water is a nice clear carribean blue.

    Mutley met me here so he could pick up his sim card. We wandered around after a chill day on the beach and through the town. At night we sat on a lounge on the beach, tried a mezcal and watched a fire twirler on the beach. It was amazing.

    The street food was great in the backstreets of Playa.

    It's a very touristy town where Americans come for their week long party and beach holidays but in the backstreets there is still a local vibe. Where you can get your laundry done for $4, tacos for 80c and dance salsa in a Park.
