Day 168: Playa del Carmen to Chetumal and the ruins at Chacchoben
On Sunday morning, Tim and Marisa met us at our apartment, packed and ready to hit the road. After we loaded our bike, the four of us said good-bye to Playa del Carmen and headed towards the Belizean border. The plan was to visit the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben on our way, stop in Chetumal […]
Days 159 – 167: New year, new horizons
Our last few days in Playa del Carmen were very low-key, probably because we needed our bodies to thaw from snowshoeing up a snowy mountain. I have decided that Canadian winters are awesome as long as I have a blanket, a hot beverage, and am sitting in front of a fireplace. We rang in the […]
Days 150 – 158: Home for the Holidays
We spent all of Wednesday in our apartment and then on Thursday evening, we flew back to Vancouver to spend the holidays at home with the family. Our first day back happened to be my brother’s birthday so we had some decadent chocolate cake, rested up, and took care of some mundane, but necessary tasks. […]
Days 145 – 149: Swimming with the Fishies in Tulum
After a couple of days of doing nothing spectacular, we decided to do a day trip to Tulum on Tuesday, December 19. It is under an hour’s ride away from Playa del Carmen and is comprised of three areas: the ruins, the city, and the beach. We started our day with a visit to the ruins […]

Day 144: The Pink Lakes of Las Coloradas
We decided to do a day trip to Las Coloradas on Thursday since we still wanted to see some pink lakes despite the Laguna Rosada fail a couple of weeks earlier. So we rode for about 3.5 hours and, lo and behold, we found the pink lakes! It wasn’t as bright of a pink that […]
Days 140 Р143: Canc̼n to Playa del Carmen and More Beachy Vibes
On December 10, we rode for a little over an hour from Cancún to Playa del Carmen where we rented a apartment for a month at 27,898 MXN (~1,783 CAD). Playa del Carmen is another tourist-infested beach city with not much else aside from beaches, spas, and shopping. As a result, we didn’t do much for […]
