So I made it to Tulum today which I’d heard a lot of good things about. I’m traveling with an English girl who I met in my hostel in Merida. We were looking forward to a relaxing day, but that didn’t seem to happen. This morning we attempted to get her picture taken for her scuba certification, but we couldn’t find anywhere to make the random size that PADI (dive certification association) wanted. So after walking for ages in the rain, we had to give up. Then we had to walk to the bus stop (also in the rain) to get the bus to Tulum. We were worried that it would still be raining in Tulum, but the clouds cleared and we had a great day. We rented bikes and rode out to the ruins and the beach.

The Pit Cenote. I went scuba diving here. It doesn’t look like much, but it opens up under the rocks and we went down to 110 feet.
Dos Ojos Cenote. Again it doesn’t look like much, but you can scuba dive well under all those rocks. You can actually see the light of a scuba diver towards the back of the picture.
Akumel Beach-We went snorkeling with sea turtles which was so amazing.

Where did you stay in Tulum? By the beach or up on the main street?
We stayed on the main street. It was nice to be by all the restaurants, but it sucked to be so far from the beach.
