Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

So after two days of almost non-stop driving (800 km) we arrived in Playa del Carmen today in the afternoon. We had a few problems finding a hotel with vacancy but finally succeeded. The hotel is full with cute young Italians - in fact, the entire town is. What surprises me about Mexico is that all the tourists are Europeans, lots of Spanish, Italians, French, a few Germans, Dutch and Brits. And no Americans whatsoever. Strange.
The Caribbean is as blue as you would imagine and we are going to do some sailing and snorkeling trips. The town is also nice and we found a nice beach-side bar with a friendly owner, cool beers and 70´s and 80´s music. ´Fat cool´ as my niece would say. No more drama so far so I just hope everything will be quiet for the rest of this trip.

Well, the beach at Playa del Carmen is not as nice as that in Cancun. Hence, cheaper. American tour packages do mainly Cancun.
