Playa del Carmen is a tourist town, too, but not as "gringo" as Cancun. It is not that big and more international. And the police is very eager there concerning parking. First I should explain that in Mexican towns you can park along the streets unless the curbstone is painted yellow (if I'm right it's the same in the USA). By saing the police there is eager I mean they don't even allow you to be 5 cm on the yellow part. Because of this they unscrewed the number plate of onother intern. Well, I should also explain that if you see a car with a missing number plate in Mexico this can have to reasons:
- The plate was stolen.
- The police unscrewed it.
In the second case you have to go to the police station and pay. Then you'll get it back. Strange way of making sure people pay but it seems to work. (In the first case there is not much to do.)
Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good there. Therefore, I won't publish pictures. I don't want to destroy your imagination that there is always sun in Mexico;-)
Because of the weather we didn't spend much time on the beach. I'm not so keen of it anyway so I don't really complain. Instead we went sailing as Ute knows how to do it. It was really fun. I was captain for some minutes as well and can tell you that sailing isn't that difficult. As long as somebody tells you what to do... ;-)
