Yesterday and today we decided we would get gear sorted out and also run some errands. We needed a new mattress (colchon) and some new pillows which would require a drive into Playa Del Carmen. Last time we were here was only a few months ago in November...amazing the growth that is happening. A few things of note for our friends who frequently visit here: the round about to Fernando's is almost gone...not sure what they plan to do with it but it is under construction; the divided highway in Tulum starts back almost right after the Coba road...making it hard to get to the lavaderia and Robbie's shop; the entrance into Akumal is almost non-recognizable because they are doing some sort of construction; and there is major road construction all the way up the 307.
Things that are the same, for those that like the restaurants: Casa Cenote is still there; Zamas still has great food and margs; the Mezzanine is still open. Azafran's has moved to a bigger space next to Buenas Aires....we spoke to the owner today, they now serve dinner. And there are 3 new restauants right by Fernando's house...one is a sushi place, an Italian place, and one I am not sure what food they serve.
Other than that things are still the same.
Here is a picture of our new "princess and the pea bed"...hahaaaa! There are no such things as boxsprings that we could find in the Telebodega...only boxes...so we used the old mattress (the
one that was crippling John) as a makeshift boxsping.
We go diving tomorrow....Fernando may try out his new drysuit.
