May 16th till june 1st
We arrived in Playa Del Carmen with a culture shock, Americana's land... all inclusive resorts, bars, gift shops. We spent several hours looking a spot to camp, living at our dirtbag style, we couldn't think of a hotel room. Drove to what they call the local beach in hope to find a hidden spot to camp. Bunch of drunk men welcomed us, so we looked at each other... mmm... not a good spot. We even drove 15kms south of Playa, and no luck, as all the beach fronts are full of ALL Inclusive hotels.!
I picked up a brochure with cheap rooms, so we start looking at plan B, found a perfect little family run hotel close to the beach and downtown. But the little price came with it at 35$ a night! the cheapest in town... Budget... blown big time.
We had no choice to stay in Playa for several days as I was catching a flight to Santiago Chili to visit a good friend of mine and Cal was going to spend 14 days at an all inclusive ( thanks to his friend Yvonne) and attend a wedding. Another nice thing is we got Suzuki in Playa to tune up the bikes for the next leg of the journey, adjusting our valves... now our bikes run like new. I was also able to leave my bike secured with them while I went to Chili.
