Enjoying a good book in the hammock There is nothing that could possibly be more relaxing for me. | Surise This is what we woke up to every morning. (1 comments) |
Akumal Roads They were still in pretty rough condition in some spots, but not terrible. The improvement during the week we were there was astounding. | More Towel Origami It seems we can't go on vacation without finding a towel-swan in our bathroom :) |
Lol Ka'Naab Condos This is where we stayed. I recommend it to anyone staying in Akumal. Sandy (the owner) was very helpful, and Elio (the property manager) bent over backwards to help us out. | Kitchen The kitchen in our condo. We didn't use it all that much because there are lotsa good restaurants in Akumal, most of which had already re-opened. |
The smallest Gecko He was there to welcome us every evening when we came back to the condo. | Akumal Bay at Sunset Just lovely. We spent a number of our evenings enjoying a drink at Lol-Ha. |
Akumal Bay Boats There were lots of small boats available for fishing, scuba and snorkel trips. Some people complain about having the boats there, and their environmental impact, but I think most of the owners are respectful of the reef and other people. | Pool near Budha Gardens This pool is right between the Lol-Ha Bungalows/restaurant/hotel area, and the Budha Gardens massage place. We spent an afternoon there with some other Loco Gringos. |
Beach Dogs There were about 5 dogs and 3 cats that we met in Akumal. They were all VERY friendly... especially if you had food :) | Driving The top of the jeep didn't do much for keeping the elements out. |

Beach south of Tulum This was a beach south of Tulum, on the road to Punta Allen. The road was pretty rough in spots, and this particular beach looked like it had collected a lot of garbage during the hurricane. | Capitan Carlos Here is our Captain Carlos holding the yellowtail that Beth caught. |
Barracuda! After a bit of a fight, we got him aboard. | Big Nasty Pointy Teeth He managed to bite Carlos while he was trying to remove the hook. Of course, I returned the favor later that evening at La Cueva Del Pescador! |
Spoils of the day We only caught 2 fish, but had a great time out on the boat. | Cliffs on the shore at Tulum
|
Ruins on the Cliff Tulum was a major Mayan port town. No wonder they chose to build it here... | Greg at Tulum (1) I'm trying to load some more film into my camera while Beth is photographing me. If she'd have waited about 10 more seconds, I would have had time to make a goofy face. |
Greg at Tulum (2) In front of yet another Temple or something. (3 comments) | Greg and Beth at Tulum Here's one of the rare pictures of Beth and me together. |
Lizard! I had to fight the urge to waste entire rolls of film on the lizards. They knew perfectly well how to pose for pictures though. | Lizards on the Ruins You can't really tell from the picture, but the tops of most of the buildings here were lined with Iguanas, who were enjoying the sun. |
