TULUM 29 MARCH




First day of not having anything planned. We go for a stunning breakfast at Zamas and I have my favourite – Huevos Rancheros (fried egg on tostada covered with tomato salsa). We take a taxi to Tulum, hand in washing and then off to Grand Cenote to show Luc where we did our diving. Luc loves the cenote. You climb down wooden stairs and then enter the water from a wooden deck. The water is crystal clear. We feed the little fish and a heron uses this opportunity to catch a fish, right under our noses! We see a little turtle and a big one going into the cave. The blue water is so fresh in the heat and we find it difficult to leave. Back in Tulum we say goodbye to Luis at the dive shop and then have really good lunch at the French restaurant. Do curio shopping in the afternoon and see real Mexican honesty when Callie forgets his wallet in a curio shop and the man runs after us with it. Luc plays with the daughter of the shop owner (she is a little down syndrome child, but so sweet!). By the end of my shopping she runs after us, waving and saying goodbye to Luc! Tonight we get takeaways from 100% Natural Restaurant (by now we are really tired of eating out!). We listen to Karin Hougaard and Johnny Clegg – really getting home sick and Luc falls asleep next to me in the hammock.
