June 18, Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Raining very hard this morning when I woke up. And then stayed cloudy most of the day. Nice change.
More rain again last night, but usually only heavy for a few minutes, then light showers or stops.
Walked the beach. Very nice. but here they have some waves. Sand very nice and beach very wide.
Mostly resorts, hotels, and restaurants all the way along. Each with beach loungers set up along the way. More people here, even if cloudy. Many Mexicans out as well as Saturday.June 17, Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Caught a taxi to Playa del Carmen. Only took about 1/2 hour, very close!
Got to hotel but too early to check in, so left bag and headed off to wander around. Walked down 5th Ave, the main shopping area! Very touristy, but not too bad as not that busy. A few people around. Lots of shops, tours "information" places, and restaurants.
Checked into hotel and rested. Very hot and humid!
June 14 to 16, Grand Oasis, Akumel, Mexico
Guess it has been few days, so best get something down. Yes still alive!
This is a very nice place! Did not do much! If you do not count hitting the swim up bar every afternoon! Then having a nap before going for dinner!
Met some people from all over and had a lot of laughs. South Carolina and Vancouver mostly!
Did find the hockey game broadcast live on internet! Very disappointing. Watched with Vancouver couple. They then told me about the riots that night! We changed our place of residence! Very disappointed as well, but mostly embarrassing! Oh well, next year!Did a lot of walking on the beach, both north and south. The beach in front of hotel is probably the best for 1 hour walking either way.
Did go snorkeling one day. Saw a turtle and a few fish. The reef seems to be mostly dead, but there are spots where is is growing. Maybe destroyed by a storm as there have been a few go through a few years ago!
Surprisingly there are a few turtle nests along the beaches. With all the development and lights this is really something.
