After almost two months of hard slacking we were in need of a break. Tulum is one of those special places that can provide a break even to the seriously relaxed. A small town with a 12km stretch of beach complete with some seaside ruins. We stayed in a cabana, and one of the photos is the view through the stick "wall". Not very private, and yet no breeze, the best of all worlds! Still, the pure white beach with clear aqua sea and green palms just metres away from our hut made up for it.

Daniel fulfilled his ambition to spend five days in one article of clothing, and we both managed to tan while wearing factor 50 sun cream. Celia overcame her fear of deep water and "sea things" to go snorkeling. In 2 metres of water. We're very proud of her.

There was no electricity in our cabanas, and very little nightlife in the town (we went to one "club" and as the only people on the dancefloor, we left). Five days of nothing much but the rinse-and-repeat cycle relaxed us almost to the point of coma, but you know... a good coma.
