We went to the beach for the morning for some final tanning and for me - the last day of my 4 months away, the last opportunity for me to lie on a beach as who knows when I will next be away, the last day of freedom before I return home to reality of being unemployed and broke. It was absolutely boiling as usual and it was a treat to discover that there was hardly any seaweed in Cancun, so we were able to swim in the pleasant turquoise blue waters. I felt so sa...

Our final full beach day. We had decided that today a pool would be perfect, as with all the seaweed washed up at shore and floating in the shallows the sea was slightly unappealing yet necessary to cool down!

I have never sweat like that before - the heat was ridiculous and we had to invest in a beach umbrella for shade. We got lunch at the club restaurant and I go...

Having left early we were pretty much the first people to arrive at the cenote, meaning we could bask in the breathtaking clear blue pool of fresh cool water before anyone els...

We got out early again to make the most of the fabulous sunshine before returning to "English summer". We decided to live outside our means for and spend the day at Ziggy's Beach Club, a resort along the private stretch of Tulum beach. It was beautiful! We each got an actual double bed with pillows on the bright white sand facing the ocean. It felt extremely luxurious. The best part about the whole thing was that the bed was free if you got lunch at the club - wi...
