We had good intentions of doing lots of things upon our third visit back to Playa Del Carmen. Tulum and Cozumel were just a couple of things on the list and we did…. Absolutely nothing. Our few days here before our return to Vancouver consisted mainly of the beach and soaking up the sun (far too much on one day when I turned a nasty shade of red) before heading back to the cold and wet of Canada.
Now, it’s fair to say that we like a good curry and Babes, the noodle house across the road does good curries and huge daiquiris. So in four nights in Playa, Dan had green curry, red curry and yellow curry and finished with another green curry. All with prawns (shrimp in North America) and with the most awesome mixed roles. The kittens were pleased to see us again.. and again.

Mother Nature got us ready for our Canadian return with lots of rain on our last couple of days. Still the days and nights were both warm so we didn’t let it get in our way. 
The sun finally set on our Central American odyssey and after two months it was time to head back to Vancouver. We had to say goodbye to the owners of the hotel, Thed and Pia who Dan has fondly renamed Piassed and Wasthed as they are ALWAYS at the bar and generally drunk (we have obviously been there too long when we get hugged and kissed goodbye) and Jez the Manager who had some great travel tips. We wore our thongs and shorts to the airport and changed back into our cold weather gear (what little we had – most of it is still scattered around Canada) and hopped on the plane for our four hour flight to Phoenix.
Ridiculous immigration procedures in the US again meant we had to clear customs, be finger printed and photographed and clear security to continue on with our three hour flight into Vancouver.
Coming into Vancouver the cloud cover was low but once we got below it, we could see the ski fields lit up on the mountains!! We also flew in a different way above the city of Vancouver instead of the sea. It’s very easy to forget what a beautiful city it really is. So our plan from here? Watch this space.
