Playa del Carmen Mexico - Photos

We arrive at our apartment and it is awesome!


View of the pool area from our balcony

Georgie takes advantage of our hammock

The best chips ever, super spicy!!!

A typical afternoon in the apartment before heading out later

Welcome to Mexico

Casa Tequila, and every bottle and type of tequila you can imagine!

We stop at Aca Los Tacos for a true Mexican dinner

We are loving the Mexican food
A DAY AT THE BEACH
The beach in Playa, stunning!

Catching some sun on the beach

Time to cool down in the pool

The view from the roof of our apartments

Heading out for dinner

We stop at HC for dinner, recommended to us but not sure why

An average meal but the Chilean red wine was good!

We stop at Kitxen bar for some live music and a drink

The cocktails are good!

We hit one last bar on the way home and try out some Mexican beer

Al fetching the drinks while V relaxes

Final tequila of the night
HALLOWEEN NIGHT
Lara and V after all the preperation for our dinner and drinks

Georgie lays on a great spread for us all

Margaritas to get the party started

V putting on makeup for Leise.....again ;-)

Lara and Leise looking the part

We are all dressed up and ready

The girls make great pirates

Rough looking pirates

All dressed up and almost ready to go

Our punch bowl for drinking fines, the girls didn't mess around!

Another fine for V

One of several fines for Al

Marshmallows and tequila, a strange combo!

The local kids dressed up for Halloween - the kids here are cute and so well mannered!

First stop the Tequila Barrel

Our first bar of the night

Great offer, any takers?

The girls aren't shy and up they get...

The girls get their reward

It's not only girls who take up this challenge...

Free tequilas in the next bar, and they are doubles ouch!!

Great club, and free drinks!

Tequilas are finished, what now....

Time to move on to the next bar

We arrive at the Blue Parrot, amazing bar/club - the beach is right behind us

Relaxing on the beach wih a Sol, the Mexican way

Out of the blue we are treated to a fire show

Spectacular!

It was hot just watching this

Unbelievable show!

Amazing!!

After the fire show it's time to hit the dancefloor

Having fun on the dancefloor

We've managed to lose all our pirate kit by this stage ;-)

The locals get fully into the Halloween spirit

Having a blast!

After a great night it's time to head home

OUR LAST DAY IN PLAYA
The gates to our apartment

The beautiful streets of Playa. We head out to fetch some essentials, ice cream and water!

A water feature, common at most of the intersections here

Our road and the sea a stone throw away

You need lots of water in this heat!

The streets of Playa del Carmen at night

Another example of the weird and wonderful fountains at the major intersections

Dinner at Don Mario on our last night, excellent food!

A taste of the local entertainment

A quick cigar after our meal - heading home for bed, it's an early ride to Tulum tomorrow...
