Our last day in tulum. oh and we have NOTHING to do today. slept well but wake covered in sand...must be that one and only window facing the beach. LOVELY. Slept in. Swam (even forgo the shower...whats the point?). then we had a picnic on the sand outside our wee hut. the mustard and ketchup still going down a treat tho can see this wearing thin after a week or month.
Another swim, and the sea was rough and a bit wild so lots of jumping and diving, so warm, like a bath, you never get cold. so clear. watching the kite boarders...its fun watching the newbs and the experienced! It was all too easy so i had a wee strop and said we needed to go get the bus tickets. and rather than th 6km walk (30 degrees anyone keen??) we taxi it for £2. My resident accountant not so keen but i guess you pick you battles and he decided it wasnt really worth it.
In the end all tickets done and brought so a couple of quiets and then some INTERNET. holy its good to be connected. We try and be these all hippy people and tho really we had an iphone, a kindle, a travel laptop and can't got a couple days without the net. lets face it, i am not one to sleep under the stars and go without showers (YES i had one in the end!) and use natural deoderant. I am using shu umera sunscreen, i'm happy with my place in life!
Found this take out eatery in town, i was a bit sold on his “super memela” which no ideas what is was but it had a good lot of words i understood...tortilla, huevos (eggs), carne, Queso...well i like all those things! And it was amazing! I am googling to find out what it is...here is the description (it wouldn't be an arn blog without a comprehensive overview of food...this is educational)..
Memelas are best described as toasted Oaxacan little pizzas made of corn. The corn masa is flattened with a tortilla press then pinched to create indentations along its borders, then placed over a hot comal or griddle. When the tortilla like base is cooked and charred where the dough hits the hot metal of the grill, chewy as a medium-well steak, is then topped with black beans, salsa, shredded cabbage, mole negro, guacamole and cheese.
See? how good does that sound?? and this was a SUPER memela. it was super i can you. best dinner here! weirdly second time someone has told us they have lost their bags and can they have some money...this time the guy was all bible-ish and another american! not sure what these americans are doing to tourists in mexico but it a bit weird.
