"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

End of A Yucatan Adventure

Hi All,

Well as they say, all good things come to an end.
We spent some time (I rented a car again for a day) at Playa Del Carmen. This place has exploded in growth, surpassing Cancun (which took 30 years to develop) all in the last 10 years. They have 36,000 hotel rooms here compared to Cancun at 24,000. And its beautifully planned out. They have a long (5th avenue) pedistrian only street down the middle, lined with a shops and restaurants. The beach area, near the pier for transportation to Cozumel Island, is lined with upscale condos and beach hotels, amazing place. I really like this area of the Riviera Maya, it is growing and many more resorts along the coast are being added, including major golf courses.

Well its been an amazing trip, seeing the Mayan culture and the incredible Cancun and Mayan Riviera coast. I think this is a place to return to!!

Yours in Travel
Bill
