Yesterday I had prime position for a sun lounger on the beach; front row with a wonderful ocean breeze and a palapa for shade if needed. Add that to a couple of hours floating around in the pool and my neck and the top of my chest were home to a very good heat rash (luckily no sun burn) by the end of the day. Today we decided to head down to Tulum to another cenote that had been recommended to us. Tulum is ~40kms south of PA and has some very famous Mayan ruins on the coast. The town itself is quite funky with a hippy kind of feel to it. We turned inland at Tulum for 3-4kms to find Grand Cenote. This cenote has more swimming in caves than the previous one we had visited and once again the fresh water was very clear and refreshingly cool. Malcolm took his snorkeling gear while I just swam around. It was pretty neat to swim in the caves; the water is a dark turquoise colour and bats fly around above your head among the stalactites. There is one cave that you can swim through completely to a small shallow pool. We saw a small turtle (~10 inches long) and lots of tiny fish in the water.
As it’s Friday, we are heading off to Latequila tonight to try another set meal.
