PLAYA DEL CARMEN - Well, we took the ferry back to Cancun and caught a bus from there to Playa del Carmen. It should be called Playa del Carmerica cuz what once was a small fishing village is now South Beach Part Deux. Me no likey. I´m sure the beaches are nice but you might as well go to the cape, and if you do that you won´t get anybody bugging you to eat at their restaurant.
Anyway, we came here for the diving and unfortunately the weather has been so crap that the boats aren´t going out. We could wait around for a few more days but then we´d probably shoot ourselves in the necks (and spend a crapload of money) so we´re going to take off and head south to see some Mayan ruins. The busses are so nice, easy and inexpensive that we figure we´ll just come back when the weather is nice. The states could a little bit from these guys down here... we´ve been cruising around in almost new Mercedes busses with movies, air conditioning and very nice reclining chairs.
