TULUM

WHERE: TULUM
WHERE (less detailed): the Caribbean coast of Mexico
WHEN: 5 weeks to go till home
WEATHER: worryingly the streets are filled with puddles when we arrive but brilliant sunshine for our day in Tulum

ruins-lite, culture at 11am

FOOD IS: best Fajitas ever at a restaurant around the corner. And free nachos and dip - funny crisps and sauce mum - everywhere we go. The only thing better than free stuff is free stuff you like
A BEER COSTS: 60p for a standard bottle of Sol or Corona. A 1.25litre of Sol comes in at ￡2
PEOPLE ARE: no-speakey de English, although it's surprising how much pigeon Spanish we remember.
TEMPERATURE: hot, at least 39

cheap beer and cheap ice-cream, what's not to love about Mexico

HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS: Tulum is very similar to the mullet haircut. With a mullet the top is all business, the back all fun. With Tulum you get your culture fix with the spectacular Mayan ruins that overlooks the beach - Rhaanis declared home if she was a Mayan - then a short walk away is a beautiful white sand beach and torquoise ocean. Accordingly we spent the morning visiting the ruins an the aftenoon sipping Sol on the beach.

and beach by 11.30am

UP NEXT: Isla Mujeres (Island of Women - calm down Raj)
