February 7, 2014 - Last full day in Tulum

Today was our last full day in Tulum so we thought we should go to the beach one last time. We caught the 10:30 colectivo and it seemed almost empty – only 17 people plus the driver!



We enjoyed walking on the beach, taking a couple swims, watching a couple sailboats, and a few people on SUPs (stand up paddle boards), and people in general enjoying the sun. The weather was much calmer and the waves much less today.

We were on the 1:30 colectivo back to town and got back in time to watch some of the school children practicing some kind of dance program. The stage is next to the Catholic Church and the large town square.

We stopped at Pat y Pat’s fish market to have lunch. We selected two red snappers and they fried them up for our lunch. The little restaurant next door provided the drinks, tortillas, and salad and our bill was only $125 pesos ($9.50 USD)!

Some folks would probably not stop here to eat since there are just two tables in front of the market and it is right on the main road, but we had plenty to eat and it was really tasty.

This evening we went to a restaurant called Aguas Chiles because we pass it almost every day and it is supposed to be good. We were disappointed in both quality and cost. We each got a taco and split an order of what they claimed were the “best black beans in Tulum”. Not so much. They tasted more like refried beans out of a can with a little pork on the top. With soft drinks, the bill was $171 pesos. This place DEFINITELY caters to tourists and we would not recommend going there.


Most of our things are packed and ready to leave tomorrow. We are almost out of pesos, so I guess we have to go home!
