Travel Eat Drink Like a Local

December 26, 2014. Went to Tulum town after breakfast. Walked the streets. It's a very small town, nothing much at all -that's the beauty of it! I had the most refreshing fresh guava ice-cream! We had lunch at El Camello. It was very good as expected, 400 pesos for 3 lunches. Carnivore second-child refused to eat seafood that day. We wanted to spend the remaining half day in Tulum at the beach -and that's what we did till the sun sets. Dinner and off to bed.

Beatifu l Tulum morning! Early morning view from the master suite. Rented a car from American Car Rental at the intersection of the Tulum t own. 550USD for 6 days. The guys there work according to the Mexican Time. By the time they picked us up, it was noon, the appointment was at 9am! Pumped gas for 560 pesos. Picked up the boys and headed to Tulum R uins. 59 pesos entrance with no guide. We had read about this location and the history of the place. So we knew what to look forward to. We walked by ourselves. Impressive! Well restored and worth a visit. Tulum Ruinas Back to Puebl o Tulum for lunch with the locals. Started raining hard -but who cares it's warm. Waited for a table at packed El Camello. Just awesome authentic food for four for 500 pesos. Local crowd, high noise level, all good! Yummy seafood goodness at El Camello On the way back stopped at Chedraui supermarket so that boys could pick up whatever local snacks they wanted. ...
