15th & 16th June 2008: Spent a couple of days at Plays del Carmen, a beach resort in Mexico. Most bars seem to have swings to sit on rather than seats which can only cause trouble when drink is involved! Relaxed on the beach swimming for the first day. Went to Tulum, some ancient ruins right next to the sea which are very pretty. Sound like a Mexican version of Stonehenge, with the temples aligned to the sun and moonrises in March and September. Incredibly hot there though, so after lunch we went to some Cenotes, which are underground water filled caves, full of rock formations. We only went snorkeling which was amazing enough but apparently people also dive through them which sounds very scary! The jungle surrounding the one we went to was filled with mosquitoes so it didn't help when the tractor we were on broke down and we had to walk - I'm now covered in bites! Now have a 12 hour journey into Belize to look forward to!
