Tulum playa

After breakfast and a copious amount of sun lotion I grabbed myself one of Villa Matisse's Beach Cruisers and headed for la playa, even against a moderate wind an easy 25' ride, now that there's a nicely paved bicycle path all the way to the T-junction, where I turned left, following the road till a public beach section, used by local fishermen as anchoring site for their lanchas.

Having nothing to do I tried to shoot a time-lapse with my CamOne infinity securely wrapped around a washed up tree log using a small Gorillapod, thereby forcing me to stay at least half an hour in the blazing sun. Most of it turned unusable though due to fogging up of the housing's domed lens…

Temperature quickly rising and there being no free shade in sight, I soon saddled up again, biking back to el pueblo in only 20', now aided all the way by the refreshing sea breeze.


It's actually possible to go by foot, but only if you're crazy like a loco. By taxi, the official tourist price is 50 Pesos one way, i.e. about 3€.
