Arrival to Tulum & beach day!

We arrived to Tulum after another overnight, 11 hours bus ride from Palenque, which gave us plenty of time to sleep...😴 But as we have learnt by travelling via buses even though its a night bus you may not be sleeping as much as you hope! When we arrived in Tulum we headed for our hostel, we checked a taxi fare (which we knew would be higher being a very popular holiday destination) and they wanted quite alot, so the Yorkshire in both of us said No way man, forget about it, we're walking! So off we went in the blistering sun with all our bags 😂☀️🌞 Our hostel was amazing, it was on the outskirts of tulum centre, quiet and had its own little kitchenette 😍 just like being at home again... Sort of! The first day we had a nap before heading out for food... Yes I know what you're thinking, mexican food but no, pizza and a moijto 😂🍕 The second day we decided to rent bikes from our hostel and take a tour of tulum, in the direction of the beach, as that's where the beautiful views were. Riding through the town and down the busy highway to get to the beach wasn't as pleasent as you would imagine, but as soon as we got onto the tourist tracks it was like smelling roses 😂😂 the pathways were lined with flora and fauna, lots of expensive cocktail bars and resorts for the package holiday get aways. Tulum beach was where we finally stopped for the day, we managed to walk all the way down to the Mayan ruins, and see them from the end of the beach 🏖️😁 we couldn't believe how blue the water was here, so we spent alot of time in the sea, diving into the waves and relaxing on the white sands (which made our tans look even better than they are haha 😂).Read more
