Tulum

MEXICO!
I am about two months late with publishing this one, but anyway..:
We had last four (or five?) days for Mexico. We crossed the border quite late in the afternoon, but Mexico is almost like a different world - they have buses running even in the evening. The one that took us from Campeche to Tulum was most definitely the most expensive but it had air condition and they were showing movies. A lot of movies, to be honest. They started with one, and just as the story was getting interesting, they suddenly switched to a different movie. I didn't get it. It was all in Spanish so I wasn't paying attention anyway.
Finding a place to sleep in Tulum turned out to be quite a big deal - hostels were full! We met a Czech couple somewhere from Moravia. This was the 4th time we met some Czechs (berofe it was Granada, San Pedro, Tikal) but actually the first time we talked with them. I can't really tell why we didn't speak with the ones we met before :D. Anyway, it was cool to see someone who knew where Nymburk was.
In Tulum we did this: Beaches, Ruins, Cenotes and Beaches. The beaches were the prettiest ones from the entire trip, in my opinion.
A BIG thing happened: we were on our way to the post office to send some postcards. We were riding our bikes through the center and there was this guy sitting on the curb. I couldn't see in his face but I had a strange feeling that I knew him so I turned round, stopped and addressed him. It was Dor, the guy with whom we had climbed a volcano about a month ago! He couldn't recognize us at first because of the beards that we had :D Then he realized... Such a coincidence. We spent some time together, went to the beach and so forth... I could not believe. When you travel, you just keep meeting the same people.
We met Dor again the day of our departure. We told him before he could get to the ruins just by swimming to them and he did it, at the sunrise when they were closed. Guess what: he got there but the ruins were guarded by soldiers with attack dogs! That was too much...
The weirdest thing happened the evening before leaving mexico: I was packing my stuff and I figured out I was missing my hiking shoes! Yes, the big heavy hiking shoes with which I climbed all the volcanoes and stuff. How the heck did I lose my hiking shoes?! I could not understand... but anyway, I had to do something about it because I couldn't come to the US just with flip flops...

some facts:
In Tulum, I had probably the best-tasting smoothie of the whole trip. Delicious.
On one day, we could not buy beers because on that day, selling any alcohol was prohibited. Don't ask me why.
We bought the beer next day and drank it on the rooftop of our hotel. Classy. We were lucky not to have fallen down from the ladder. Climbing it with slippers wasn't clever but that's just me :P
The Mexican immigration fee is fucking expensive
