Spent the whole month set up in a 2 bedroom in Playacar, the high end Gated Community, next to the centre of Playa del Carmen with its on beaches and even higher end Gated Hotels. Bonus hang out with The Dips at Akumal.
Tough fully loaded bike ride about 20 minutes to my new place for the month. Even at 10 am in the morning I was already dripping sweat and perhaps a little overloaded too.

Akumal a marine sanctuary for an entrance fee of $8, but if you sneak through the restaurants it's free. So...$8 lighter I met up with Mike and Maria and the team and enjoyed a good 4 hours in this special place. Turtles and Rays...yay!!!
