We've been guests, Carmen, for six weeks, which is confusing because your ad is with us in Mexico City with Ali in the ruins and we're coming to you from the future is the magic of video editing, so we've been here for six weeks. We wanted to start off this series in episode two here with a tour of the house to show you this space and I'm going to be really nervous as long as we find out that I love it and the reason this place is so amazing is because it also comes with a car and what we're Doing in this area is more of using it as a base of operations to explore the entire Yogathon Peninsula, where there is plenty to do. here this whole series will take you but using the car we have from this amazing intervention and from this specific location which is just great and central to see so many things, one of the first amazing things about this apartment is that it has great Wi-Fi and do you know that we own and operate our Amazon travel equipment business from the road?

I like this in the description below because a lot of people have questions. I'm hung up on travel. with her but she doesn't sleep here connection dad yes, I'm going to be honest with you Tim and I don't like sleeping in the same room when we don't have to. I love sleeping and I don't want anyone to violate that so this is my bedroom save me from this loveless marriage but no seriously this is the new best idea ever. Oh, there is a shower, a toilet and a towel. Yes, look, I'm on the screen. I didn't get ready today my hair isn't curly yet it's embarrassing this is my room yes I have a room look air conditioning yes how clean it isn't in here look at that closet, in short I'm glad I waited until the end of our stay here to be really nice. to analyze and know what it was like here because this was our favorite place in Mexico for several reasons, it was very homely.
I mean the specific B&B feel, yes, also the amenities here and all the activities you can do in such a short time. drive, so that made a difference in this area versus more. We had our home base in Sayulita, we had our home base in Baroda and in Mexico City, all for at least a month, if not three months, and all those places, and yet this was just the best place in Mexico if you are looking for an international place to set up shop and spend your time. US citizens can come to Mexico with a six-month tourist visa and you do not need to apply for anything you want.
You show up in Mexico and they give you six months, so it's also been super cool and easy because when you only have 30 days or something you have to leave, that's just a hassle, so six months is an epically awesome part of living a life. full-time travel. It's that yes, you can do some interesting things, but you also have to do mundane things abroad, which sometimes presents some challenges. We like to run our errands in countries where we can speak the language or countries where we have experience doing so. kind of errand and today we are doing the mundane task of going to the dentist our Airbnb comes with a Jeep I know it was a great find and we are going to bring our swimsuits and towels you know just in case just in case the dentist appointment turns on a beach run having a car with this Airbnb was a big deal because rental cars in Mexico are almost cost prohibitive for long stays.
When checking prices online, you may see cars for as little as four or five US dollars per week. day, but due to multiple insurance policies required, your car can cost over fifty US dollars per day and we were here for six weeks. There is a way to get around this by using the policy covered by your US credit card, but if it's not like the states where you just waive it Surely for pickup you will need a written letter from your credit card company to present it at the rental desk and you may even have to negotiate with them.
We found the dentist in a normal way, just by looking at Google Maps near Sasebo. and then I looked at reviews and then this thing called medical tourism appeared, so in very touristy places like here in Playa del Carmen this was basically marketed so that anyone who speaks English can come and have an appointment, we are employees of our own

trip

of the company. travel gear and we don't have the typical US health insurance, this is common for many American business owners, we are part of a health pool called Liberty Health, if you are interested and there are many others similar, we end up saving around of six hundred US dollars a year. month being part of a medical share on health insurance, so obviously we don't have dental insurance, so we only do cleanings when we need them because it's cheaper than insurance.
I mean, it was a dentist appointment, it wasn't the most fun. I've ever had in my entire life, but the guy was super friendly, he spoke the best English of anyone I've heard here in Mexico all year and we were talking about all the best places to dive and we'll talk about it later. trip, so the fact that we were able to walk to the beach after the date makes it an amazing experience. He cost 80 US dollars. A remote island off the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. This week we will be the first to explore this vibrant. land, you might be coming to the cruise port planning your honeymoon or why we're here to dive in next week's episode, you'll be coming with us as we dive for the first time and take Patti's open water course, but today we stayed.
On land and exploring the island there is an airport right in town, service values ​​and major airlines, but a popular way to get here is by flying to Cancun, taking the bus or a private car to Playa del Carmen, which is where we currently We live as digital

nomads

. More information in the previous episode for that and then hop on one of the two frequently running ferries. We headed out on this adventure with Hudson and Emily, who live here in Playa del Carmen after we were in all 50 states last year and all four. We are going to live together in a condo in Cozumel, but first we have to get there by taking a ferry.
Hello, my name is Tim. You can see it by my rolling suitcase, my stupid hat, the Starbucks on my head. It's my first time outside the United States. I've been wondering what exotic treasures Mexico is an opportunity for, so we have to sit in this section with it. I don't even see a seat, okay, Pepper got on this one, she can go to the other call. He had a kennel in D'Amato that we made. the air conditioning feels amazing pepper agrees but she did great on her first ferry ride and this is so epic because look at this view of the self closing jacuzzi any jacuzzi here is a jacuzzi yes actually yes , that will be great, yes, absolutely. man what a corner unit this is always crucial yeah exactly to set this up after a few years on the road we have covered a lot of ground unfortunately it took us until now to realize that we need to start exploring more of what it covers 71% of the Earth's surface avid swimmers and flares we have always agreed with Sebastian this is the story of how to become a mermaid by completing and passing the PADI open water certification course we don't know where we are going the directions we are looking for a place with a base in Adobe the first day I'm not nervous at all I'm almost excited so that's great and the water looks incredibly beautiful it's hot I don't know what more you could ask for and everyone here is super friendly, super relaxed, It's like there's no pressure. today you just have to learn it, today you know, I mean, we're not going to like 100 feet or anything like that, so it's going to be about getting comfortable, so I hope today is the easiest aluminum nut for me, what you we see. now yeah, great ring, great on someone new in front of everyone else, so it's happening so fast.
One second I was on a scooter and getting ready to explore dancing, what are we doing right now? 16:1 morning number two and everyone is I'm pretty sleepy, but it's Monday morning and there's definitely horse stuff I woke up to, so we couldn't show you much from yesterday because there was a bit of underwater activity, but we are doing interesting skills, but I am sure it is very important to learn underwater, as you know, of course we did the trick of cleaning the mast, but it was also cool, we completely took off the mask underwater and had to swim lightly around it from the guided and then go back to the circle and I put a mask back on and I cleaned myself completely and I didn't even realize you could do that, but until now while I was learning, the thing I was most worried about was cleaning my ears and even yesterday it was very superficial, it was bothering me a little and it wasn't like that. bother anyone ever like people say oh no we were so shallow but I don't know today we went almost twice as deep as yesterday that's my biggest concern for today we'll see how it goes bye we have to get to the boat, go see, so who's first?
He wants us out there. He pops and goes for it. You have to do it. Excellent Hudson. Excellent. Take your time. Hudson chooses a tank. Today, to top it all off, we saw a shark and it wasn't very scary. Because I love your summary. Hudson and Emily have kicked our butts with their ability to pressurize and order, like they're 15 minutes late. We have a very slow descent, since a clear rivalry has been ruled out, which is good and then part of the certification you have to pass. a swimming test where we had to float in the water for 10 minutes and then we had to chase the boats to prove that we knew how to swim, so it was very competitive, exciting, yes, that's it, it's competition, it's sport, it's funny, true, yes, low security. before, you know, of course, the diving companies take the first competition between the four of us.
Apparently we can now start the underwater record. The second day couldn't have gone better, we had a lot of fun and it was very different, actually, like diving on a reef. I think it was easier because it was deeper before, like the first day, we bumped into each other, you had to tie it up, it was little deep, it is difficult to navigate. I grew up, it's like new and just getting there. Raise wings beneath you, what do you say today? It was great, but now, the actual test and my test, I mean the final exam, where Emily and I are here in the pool taking notes and Adam in diving Tony, they have been as amazing as I have been.
I don't know, we just do all these tours and there are different ranges of all these different types of things and this is obviously not a tour, it's like getting a certification in diving, it's just like the professionalism, the equipment, everything has been 100% superior. . -notch so it's fun sitting here in a pool but you know it's serious and you have to be safe underwater so here we are taking a final exam so good luck to us because we passed the exam but what best place to do it? thisgroup seconds after exams packages good first day actually fat certificate we have done it everyone congratulations on passing your exams here there are only winners okay personal okay move it this way it's a small change so make sure you always be flat the line of The red line in the middle captures our love and the line is fine, why do we go?
We say free steps. This is the first time they were able to get the cameras down with us and then it certainly adds a whole new element of knowing what you're doing. We have bigger pieces, not only are we looking at our computers and looking at our air looking at the fish, but now we are also trying to take selfies and report on their vision, it's like absolute chaos, this is like 99% hum, except now you're the drone. but I feel like you're flying over the reef, all bad things, so I'm doing the tricks, we use drone bloopers, trusting, we're going to have to learn how to do that underwater intuition, shark, shark, total grass, a kit, a hand. two heads, okay, a flounder, let's bite the octopus, cool, grouper, grouper, grouper, good job, yeah, that was amazing, that was so cool, we just completed our first real day as real divers and it was amazing, We saw the biggest lobster I have ever seen in my life. huge grouper that came out behind him and we had fun playing with our buoyancy and they can pose this for the camera so we had a good time being silly with the camera underwater and not worrying about different abilities to submerge our ears.
They've been bugging us a bit, so it's a good thing we have tomorrow off to go explore the island and then we're back under the water for another fun day on Friday, bugging us in the sense that you're hanging around. A bit like a mixture of blood mucus, it's really an acquired taste at this point. I feel like I can hear at about thirty percent volume, but talking to the experts we're apparently sure we're fine. Good see you later. tomorrow that's me, exploring Cosmo after three days of all day diving, we are excited to finally get out and explore some of the island of Cozumel, this is paradise, there are several places on the island to rent scooters, jeeps and convertible cars. to allow you to explore Cozumel it is a large oval and there is a path that goes around it, so if you get lost, it is up to you today's plan is to complete the circle and enjoy as many small beach areas as we can, locating both in this adventure.
Cozumel is just as beautiful as the first place, stop for lunch and some more epic beautiful views here on the east side of the island, we have all the sargassum and all the seaweed coming in, it's the same problem as the Cancun area. In Tulum it doesn't seem so bad, but isn't it better than Playa del Carmen? a little more protected I know a kind of ghusl what do you call it in English is like sargassum like I refuse I refuse to call a target home sweet home beautiful pepper I come Torretta it was a lot of fun touring the island and again I think I have the best right now class of the whole place so pepper faces happy birthday so we're celebrating with an Italian dinner it's literally amazing it's so sweet and Hudson and Emily eat the best free food we have we have gifts and party supplies for little time.
Well, that's for dessert, so we'll be back, but it's a party. Cheers boomerang B, we're just doing ours. A week to get certified as a patty and explore the island of Cozumel. It is just the beginning of an adventure through Yucatán. We came back home. in Playa del Carmen for a road trip through Tulum Tabaka liar with even more diving and exploring every cenote along the way I don't know what a cenote is so keep looking oh and you're subscribed another week more new adventures our friend Buchi is Vengo visiting all this week and we're taking the opportunity to do a little road trip around the Bataan Peninsula so first stop today we went a little south and we're leaving so no fast food on the Bataan Peninsula Yucatan. one of the only places in the entire world that is made entirely of limestone and creates Did you take the plunge?
Oh my gosh, this is also why we never get great pictures of anything because Tim just had a ghost and he does things and I just miss him. it's on camera well we just like to get right into things I can't just look at that no that's so beautiful oh my gosh right so Isaiah is explaining that a cenote is a sinkhole and it's made of This whole region, the whole underground area is all limestone, so there are all these underground rivers and the earth seems to fall and randomly in the jungle there is this beautiful fresh water that is so clear and so attractive that there is something crazy like more than 5,000 cenotes in this. the whole area and this is just one of them, but like any good tourist place you should arrive early in the morning so that it is 8:30, you can see how many people are already here, do you want to tell us about the recommended footwear, not barefoot and everything What we can do now is discuss the frame rate which would be the best way to capture football.
We can't enjoy it. Oh, you're going with me. Do you want me to go? The first time you go. Timur went. So, I think we'll go right away, one more for the dogs. I'm pretty sure this is what you're supposed to do here is film yourself continually jumping into the water, so it wasn't very scary when there weren't many people here and the guys have jumped in a couple of times now, it's actually making me more nervous. . Do you feel like you just need more preparation? It is worrying and therefore you are great, the longer you wait, the harder it is to jump.
It was very funny and scary, scary enough to be funny, but. Yeah, now that it's maybe a quarter past nine, it's pretty busy and then it takes a long time with people standing there nervous to go and there's a lot of waiting. I mean, I was the fastest, but some people took too long. There were a couple of people who learned about the cloth they cut there, okay, look closely at his heart. There's enough of an expanse here that we now have our own little private island area, our own part of the list and not there, and we brought our circle. team, so let's go review our first two notes and we learned our important lesson.
You get here in the light as soon as they turn the key to open for the day you want to be there because it's Monday. and we got here an hour later and it was packed like who would think so we found this fire where we came in and there's these tree houses so we thought there was one free of course we're way up there and then we're like hey . We're having drinks, we did and then we're wondering how they're putting the food here in this bucket, so we're thinking this is a little inconvenient. We'll have to go to the bathroom.
There is also a swimming pool here. This place is great. We're in love, beat Anita in our mouth because you can swim with sea turtles here, which maybe there are some sea turtles out there. Roger apparently right outside this amazing beach bar with the tree house, you see some little sea turtles, so I know the gossip. my snorkel but let's go check it out, it's not exactly the time in Jamestown when I was stepping on rocks, that's what I was thinking too, oh no, I know the F's, we're here on the second day and it's early in the morning and We are excited to get back to diving, so now that we have been spoiled in Cozumel, we will go see what the diving is like on the Playa del Carmen side this way and Tim and I had trouble last week in Cozumel clearing our ears, so that's going to be the goal for today, after a week of clearing things up, we'll see how we do, so I don't know if we're more experienced now on our seventh and eighth day or what, but we had It was much better to go down, which It was a lot of fun and then it was fun to do it with a big group of friends and go with more experienced divers because we didn't like experiencing diving culture so I'll speak for Tim.
I was having so much fun watching everyone at the 3 minute stop and even right when we got to the end, you know people are backwards, people are doing stupid things and making hand signs, one guy turns off his friend's air, it's like nonsense. I'm sure I'm supposed to warn all of you in a disclaimer, just saying don't turn off your friend's air underwater, all this good stuff, but just like seeing something like all that nonsense, it was fun. like getting an experience of what it's like to be an experienced diver, some of the friends we're here with have done 3050 dives, so a lot of people here know what they're doing, advanced certifications, that kind of thing, so it was I just find it fun to be a new person seeing Tulum.
What's the hype? Let's find out for ourselves. Here's my hat, and so quick, give me my hat. Oh, hey, we're going to say hello, honey, we're heading to him. the loom, that means we have all our outfits ready to go and then we have to search for all the other instagrammers making sure we find all the not most popular places, tell me about the quality of the road, I mean I would say even the gravel. The roads go, you know it would be like an 8 out of 10 C, worse, no, no, we are not in Tulum from the Carmen parallel, we are choosing to stop some cenotes along the way, but we have a dog, so.
There is some limited pepper, but it's very strange because she is amazing. Part of always having pepper is getting around the fact that pepper can't go everywhere, it would be easier to travel with a small baby, so now we're just mr. Here Buchi came in and found that he had to sit in the car with Pepper and then we are going to exchange in ten minutes. He had to figure out who wasn't watching Finny. Now I know I can do it and she can figure it out when she edits. the images take turns with the dog and everything is so crazy, it's so random like the jungle is so dense and then Chris appears in deep water, taking turns.
We are now right next to Tulum, but we have a position for a few more hours while they. clean it up so now this is our third cenote in Mexico the second of the day is the car wash cenote why is it called car wash cenote great information it's about education on this channel give me a shower from the other senuke I think this is it the best diving platform seems the least incomplete that's what they protect that whole area of ​​lily pads over there oh is that the yellow line they don't want to go for it yeah, I thought it was these lines, I'm like that's weak, it's not like yellow like a construction oh, okay, well, and there's a big fish there, it's very lonely, it's very protective.
Twingo Crows, yes we have a problem, what's our problem? Some people have done backflips today and some have not. I don't pay with us, you know, I don't do that, we didn't come back last time I did a backflip, let's do it forward like I have a lung contusion or any finisher with excuses, can you know that here? I can't, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to dive into the information we have. This Airbnb is in Tulum, we have rented it and it is called Casa la bete, we keep our eyes open. No, it's just called Wombat House.
There is no address. and the street did not exist on Google Maps but Bujji found it in the shapes there is the cement truck calling options is my truck can drive this road we can do these two these are totally skinny guys like no, everything I always thought about for them this is definitely not that it should be close, she retreats rude, that's her about our state assuming this construction hey, it must be close to X ha, turn left the instructions are clear oh my god, look at the construction site oh Oh my gosh, okay, how many?
Airbnb videos have been made about the construction. Oh, this listing is $57 and well, it has like $80 cleaning fees. I don't want to say, actually, 157 dollars, but the three of us are staying in a beautiful three-bedroom villa with its own private pool, this all sounds very sketchy yes but we booked it this morning so maybe it's like a last minute deal we're looking at and it's pet friendly there's free parking and air conditioning I mean. it's just that we're always Mexican instructions it's just that you've seen our Airbnb and our videos and it's just another one of them, but are you good at cooking here because you're the home video on Airbnb?
But I would like to show you the Instagram version so that all those snapshots you always see this is what is shown in the listing welcome to the real thing for me despite the construction welcome to the inside of the floating stairs no big deal this is there for Lou this is very to do this is there to do, yes, Tulum Olli, tell them this is where I don't know why you would sit here and look at this tree because you can take a picture looking at it I reflected the hair of my plants today I have Let's give credit where it's due Alison Finney with The Pro Move, she said there was going to be no water here and no, what the hell does zero water here mean?
So we'll just take this wherever we go on the road trip, all the better to joke around as much as we do. Havevery curious, this is like discovering what Tulum really is because everything I have seen about Tulum and mainly looking at it on a map, which is usually the first thing I like to do and get to the destination. it's just seeing where things are and how to get around, and a lot of people that I've followed that have been here always talk about having bikes and say, oh, you can ride a bike here, you can ride a bike there, you have a cenote, the pigs They are beautiful. very far apart and it's like 97 degrees 99% humidity, so biking isn't the first thing that comes to mind about what I like, how I want to get to dinner, we'll stay four miles away from a random cue. place we decided to go to for dinner and we are very happy to have the car, so I guess the first thing I want to see about Tulum is that you have the beach, of course, and the city of Tulum, neither of them are closed and it seems that this bike path is very high, everyone rides around here, unlike a fun coastal town where everything is in the same area, maybe right on the beach, ok, so it's totally doable.
All I'm saying is we're here. This summer is the hottest time of the year, but for your vacation, you might want to bike miles just to cook your way to your restaurant. We found paid parking along the beach road. There isn't much but a few restaurants along the beach. We have small lot parking across the street, we're sorry about the scary Blair Witch lighting scenario that's happening here, but since we're all talking about it and realizing what you're doing here in Tulum, it's okay. now we are back in the city of Tulum like the city is rocking people are eating I think she is what you do here, like eat, drink, go to the beach, but we didn't see an audience.
I'm sure there is a public beach, it just seems very challenging unless you are here. staying in an amazing hotel on the beach, in which case really all the way to the Cancun airport is an amazing hotel and the beaches survive here is super cool, it's like total Changu Bali, like the super job you like, you have to feel great like us. I just didn't feel good enough to eat where we were eating everyone how the waiters were super high on their best friend there was a lot of stuff we were doing people smoking drugs everything drugs gentlemen any other reaction clips of audio that we can have for the camera here. this is a place you can come and just relax, melt into the chair, if that's what you want, come and do the beachside location and tell yourself what you want, you just want to eat non-stop, there are more restaurants per capita in this place I've ever seen, and you can also take any drug you want from the pharmacy to make it really relaxing.
Your strategy today we are here to open the valve as soon as they open, these doors run running on this note. run to a cenote it opens at 8:00 there is a line the cars are pouring in a strategy is the big successful cenote the most popular just when it opens fresh early but it's already a bus of tourists and some cars but it's really gone then maybe there is a lot of space this is number four for four days it is also the biggest expense it will be a trampoline a zip line and Tarzan a cenote hot springs and everything is all inclusive it is an all inclusive set is that first clues well, it's all those people yesterday we're in this little did you come here yesterday without driving?
I like bosses. I've seen bigger ones, so you can see how busy that place was just 20 minutes after opening, but it was still so beautiful. I just can't imagine I don't know if they should limit the number of people that get there or something, but looking at the parking lot that we drove through yesterday and this is maybe like a quarter of the There's a number of cars that we're here, so I can't even imagine there is a tour bus here. I don't know, I feel bad for those baby turtles, but other than that, it's so beautiful before we made it, it's not number one. mainly because there were caves, it was never scary, filming of the fifth day of this week, the price is right, 100 pesos, there is a different flavor wherever you go, you never know where you are going to get it.
Oh, jump here, fighter, more caves. I mean, this is a note that says by definition. It's kind of a cave right now. I know, Mr. Babson, oh no, those are birds, they're not even bad, there's the instant swing, there's fini fini, get that swing, catch it and then jump, jump right in four meters, this is about to be a backflip City, so it's funny we were at the beach. this law and I have not done any cenotes, so this is only the fifth in four days. It's also nice that each of these has a completely different flavor or something to do, it's just all these sprouts here, okay, Calavera cenote, it had everything you need.
You could want you to have bats, you could have escape holes to jump through, you could have Instagram ropes to swing on, and then you got to see some random European guy, naked, like something for everyone. Here I am going to say that this is a strong number two, they all run together. from yesterday's ones with the wooden running platform, that's pretty cool, oh the one at the car wash was cool too, basically I just hate the big cenote. There were just too many people, this Tim, I like grants enough for us to think you know they were newbies in the morning. there were no Gapers to spoil it and then there were a lot of caves, there was the wildest life they had seen so far, that's just different different styles, different people, true, true, it was nice to motivate in the morning, something is around the 10 o' clock and we have checked the cenotes off the list now we head to the center of Julie for the second day we had discovered the Tulum beach area a little better, there are many beach clubs that allow you to enjoy their lounge together to the beach. seats, as long as you order food and drinks at the restaurant, this seemed like the way to win in Tulum because many of these beachside boutique hotels cost over $200 a night and our villa in the city was under a hundred US dollars with a pool and the three of us ate and drank all day for less than a hundred US dollars.
Tulum, of course, can be much cheaper than what we mention here, but with our friend in town for the week we were more in vacation mode. that our normal digital nomadic lifestyle, the sargassum or algae shown here has been a big problem for tourism in this entire surrounding area over the last year. You can check online and in various Facebook groups in the area to see how you are doing closer to your reservation because it is continually fluctuating at the moment, it is a great example of our work-life balance. I'm here with Tim, the other Tim hanging out on the beach side and Tim, he's taking a call from the Amazon PPC company that does all of our advertising on Amazon, come on, cheers, Brock, yeah guys, where are you? ?
Hello, like special food, same as different, bring those beasts, you are here too much, get your this, how much is it, say this is a paper of garlic and thread and we are missing the storm. It was the most absurd amount of food, but it was 11 pesos for the special surf and turf seafood plate when we realized we were probably going to spend that ordering 3 like you know, I eat sandwiches anyway and we found out that it was mostly like 5 tuna fillets, it was like white fish, there were like 20 shrimp fillets, you can sum it up, this is a spa, it was beautiful roasted vegetables, it came with 2 bowls of rice, chicken broth, so we've just been picking up. food because we've been going from place to place you're like eating peanut butter in the car so it's been a while since we've had a full belly like this and now we're all going to be super super super super tired but that was the best tho best things you've eaten in Mexico so far no one sleeps I hope you can see how big that piece of wood was from the book we got just for scale.
I must like it, I lowered my hand for comparison, the onions went quickly, we all loved these on the pins, following all the girls, vegetables, everything was great, it's true for him, a lot of jokes, this is jokes about a lot of jokes just because there's a lot of enthusiasm, but it was really great, we're having a lot of fun this week. What I learned? If you throw a stone, you will hit a cenote. Very low. Good active day. The activity and algae were not a big deal. I saw the restaurant on the beach. clubs and things so far so impressive, but the road trip continues to baccala Bakalar is located in the southeast of Mexico, near the border with Belize, the 35 mile long freshwater lake is also called the lagoon of the seven colors because the bright white sand bottom shows off all the beautiful blue colors and turquoise hues due to its remote nature, five hours south of the Cancun airport, it still enjoys a beautiful mix of locals, Mexican vacationers and long-term travelers.
Today we'll show you a little, but only if you don't let out the secret we're in on. Baccala México, we just drove three hours from Tulum and today's episode begins here in a seashell. Now I really can't believe how beautiful this lake is. We can go for sunrise paddle boarding and kayaking sessions. It was listed here and the property and lake were super peaceful and man it's like I love fresh water. I love lakes and forgot to come, but she of course was very excited about a little story of why and how we stayed here in a shell. house here in baccala is just a new or upcoming place, so there are not many options to choose from, especially at the last minute, there are many cheap accommodations around, but since it is a special vacation for our friend who is with us and stuff, You know, we're doing a different type of trip than we normally do, so we ended up booking.
There were maybe seven options to choose from for dog-friendly accommodation on the same day, lots of cheap places, but this one had access. right on the water we have separate bedrooms we have a kitchen area in the living room we have access and paddle board and kayak so since we are only here for a quick night we didn't want to waste time like we were in town and then go to the lake and stuff like we literally pulled up in the driveway and we all had our swimsuits on from Tulum and we just ran into the water and got right on the little rock so Pepper can take us.
Well now we are in Baccala, we came so far south on this road trip that we didn't know we would be within walking distance of a place we were never in our passwords, we had no idea the police we would catch you. the way back to North Finney and how this went unnoticed no one here in the guard knew what they think would be the next time there is absolutely no one who has any idea I just drive the car, let's take the car those rapids oh no my school knows it that no one did once your um look how bad she is she would get this cenote and I quick the whole dirty restaurant was ready today with the weather the pepper is getting anywhere but once they see that smiling face of hers, they open the doors the they did, they didn't have to see the dog that we were like they are like ah that dog weighs three kilos that is barely a dog she is she is pushing towards one of the most popular places in baccala is two low strips or the rapids of the river in English Due to the narrow mouth between two bodies of water, the current is even stronger than it seems.
What are you doing here? Grab a beer and enjoy the baccala of Mother Earth Lake and specifically here at Lost Rapids there is an area full of stromatolites. I really do not know. I know what this is, but I wanted to address it here, so what are they? They appear to be a fossilized coral or something. I don't fully understand if this is a large structure or small round circular structures based on photographs. All I know is not touching it, so I desperately hope that's not what we're doing here in this video. Our experience at this location was similar to what we saw other people do here.
If you know which areas in this video to stay away from, please let everyone know. In the comments as we left the restaurant, we saw a sun-faded photo recommending tourists stay away from these stromatolites, but I'm still not entirely sure where they are located. If you head here, stay tuned and I hope that as this place becomes more popular, I hope the restaurant and others. Travel blogs will help here in education about what areas to be in and what areas can be harmful to the environment. Saturdays were an amazing way to spend a day, so one night here for two days was definitely not enough time, but that's almost it.
I have to return one day, another time, ba closed popular things, so this week we are going to explore the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. We headed north to Playa del Carmen, where we took Lu to relieve a fence and let us.to do mass ok north of Playa del Carmen let's go then we'll go to then we'll go up to Al Hull Bosch which is super fun and trendy right now and then we'll go back down south oh no sorry I know we're going to go. I love the west more for doing lizards and Lascaux livadas, which I've been to before because I studied abroad in Mérida like a patella.
You understand that this is going to be an amazing week, but why? Don't you come to the dream? His Range Rover and a Starbucks. This is a Mexican evaluation. We're about to get on the ferry to get closer to Alex. Oh yes, very close, very close to us. Whoa, that's deep, I just have to do it. Take the camera here for the dog that way kid, something, you know something. I'm going to check the lots. This parking structure is affiliated with the ferry terminal and costs between 100 and 200 pesos, approximately six US dollars per 24 hours. We plan to rent a scooter. or a golf cart on the island, that's why we're not going to take our car, but there is a car ferry, the ultram, our passenger ferry passes each one, it represents two or three, you mean the count alert is over, It's okay, Bob, can you be happy to be?
Just joining us, this is Peppers' second ultra Mara. Try going to Cozumel too, but you can see it in the video below, as well as the ultra Mar ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel. Dogs are allowed and there is a pet-friendly seating area. at the back of the ferry, I'm fine, this is only 13 kilometers off the east coast of Cancun, the short trip is only about 15 minutes, it costs 300 pesos or 13 US dollars round trip and there are plenty of taxis waiting at the port of arrival. I usually don't look behind the scenes, it's like 30 minutes to find out where Airbnb is, what Airbnb is, what Airbnb is like, all that cool stuff, so we say a lot of Airbnb say we have the dog, it's usually easier to find. a friendly Airbnb than a hotel and the sign on the building is the name of the apartments they said it and then all I know is we are room 6 and I have a lock number there is just no lock oh oh no The most important thing is gasoline.
The thing about this Airbnb is that there is a burger standard across the street, which is good, not good. I know we've made a whole business out of pest packaging, that bag is so big and heavy because we're hearing a lot of canned goods and kitchen stuff. and water and here and there there are two bottles of liquor there is a dog bed be careful, it is slippery there is a crack, yes, wow. Oh, some were experiencing it for the first time, this is light, this is not going to ride, this is, oh my God, Full of water Oh almost that's thanks.
That's what always happens, that for about six or seven dollars more we opted for two better ones. You do something with us. I think we say we really like sleeping in separate beds when we have the option, because we just sleep better and They're both like six feet tall and they were just big and there are never king size beds, so two six foot tall people in a full bed in 95 degree humidity sucks, so we're paying seven bucks more to get both. bedroom and we pay to be on the screen here I would put how much the steel cost us for a kitchen the lost graces there it's like it's not going anywhere because I think this is the apartment, it's small but for what we're paying, hey, It's I'm going to have hot water, there's hot water here Babu, so let's make sure why we chose this one thanks to the whole island, but this is like one of the highest points there we're going to persevere, oh my God, it's like Wisconsin, this is really nice. does not continue, yes, check that more than eight.
The thing about diving in the underwater museum is that all the sculptures are made of cement and the cement is very porous, so they put them there about ten years ago and now the coral is starting to grow, that's creating this artificial reef, putting it there has been amazing for the environment here because first when I came down it took a lot of tourists away from the reef, giving the reef a break and then now that it's building its own coral. the fish and all the corals have more room to flourish which is really exciting dr. hanging out all day with Seahawk, they've convinced us to go swimming with whale sharks tomorrow just say it in the next video, so if you want to see a whale shark here, I'll stay today and we'll go explore a little. a little bit of the island, but first we have to go get pepper.
After diving with Seahawk today we found out what the scene is with the whale sharks, something we weren't initially interested in just because we had such a bad experience last time in the Philippines, but it turns out they do it right here so we changed our travel plans by road and we're going out with them tomorrow morning, which means Pepper will be hanging out at the dive shop all day here tomorrow, luckily it's dog friendly, so they're going to take care of a puppy for us, boom, like that, later of diving and one thousand one hundred pesos later, we have our own golf cart for 24 Auto, which is a lot, it's a lot, it's like 55, it's more than 50, it's more than 55, but here's the deal this is the deal, now that tomorrow we will do the whale shark thing, now we need to be able to take our luggage directly from here at 7:30, go to the dive site and then go to the ferry, so it's not cheap, but that's it. more convenient than dealing with taxes and our favorite things we like to tell each other is that nothing is free, so really it's not just eleven hundred pesos, it's eleven hundred, every taxi ride we would take is about seventy each way from where we were staying on this island, which would have been, hey, service pesos, yeah, this is an activity, we want to go see the island, yeah, that's what we're doing now, a little bit of head.
We started today we are looking at the south side or at least we didn't want to stay on the north side because I just want to be next to Mr. Ranas or guys after meeting that excited gringo it's called dodging bumps so let's go upside down if we have shade, oh , look at that guy, that guy for ten minutes after the ride. I'm already over this ticket. Oh suspension, hey, do you want to come on a tour of a big mansion with me? This is amazing, yeah, somehow on a little circular island we got lost but we ended up at this really cute little bar where the only ones here well, I ordered a drink, special permission to come in, oh yeah, wait, wait, don't scare them Everyone, let's see where they are.
I just look. on the right side oh, they're fast too Oh my goodness, yes, there are a lot of them Elson Fin is not only an expert on starfish and albatrosses, but he also knows it on mangrove crabs, for anyone who is worried by the crocodiles with the dog, we are safe here. On the ocean side one of these crabs could probably drag your hand. Did you see how big the gelatin is? Where is the sunset? Oh, this is beautiful. We are very busy doing the other things. We relax as much as the beach. So we talk about getting up at dawn, but everyone is here.
Some people dated mom now that I get extra points. I'm usually the one who sleeps in. The crackling in the background is approaching. I called at 7:30 this morning. For the whale sharks they get up early. I thought not. I started diving much later, but yeah, if you only have 24 hours here, you should pick one, but if you can extend it a little bit, I mean, we'll basically dive for four days. sharks maximum 36 hours there are many things to enter into pepper. I have your waterfall, we have what it is. Can you tell me how that's in place?
You're not supposed to tell me about the rules and how they don't apply to you. you are the one that changed lives this has been amazing this is so much better than the philippines everything is very well regulated here and it is less of a spectacle I feel safer just swimming there this is intense because only two people can jump and dive at once and it is just I don't know controlled chaos so obviously we came here from Albufeira so you can get there from all over Bosh but it's a much longer boat ride so if you want to do it I would do it from Alma Paris and then yeah this one Mexican experience here has been much better because in the Philippines in Oslo it is really bad that they feed them there and it is right off the coast and there are so many, actually they are bigger and better groups of sharks too, but if you are traveling to the Philippines, the tonsils have a good area like this, where you go to deep water and find them in the sea and they don't feed them.
There is actually like a governing body here that controls the scene and they are watching to make sure that everyone has life jackets, only 2 per boat and that no one touches the whale sharks that stay within one or three meters of it. We came back, the family was a good guy. Hey, what got you instantly dumped for someone, what didn't. I even know who is happy to see all of you before coming here, we would have had no idea that they really needed two days and two nights to do everything. Here they only have 24 hours so you can pick and choose how to do the whale sharks or the 24 hour underwater museum, finding the Seahawk company was just by chance and they were so amazing that they even had great reviews on Google that's why I went with them and the fact that, like the second day, they were taking care of our dog for us and we're going to give hugs, goodbye.
I feel like we like making friends and I really recommend them more to give special recognition. We did so many bad tours, yeah, to go on. Amazing tours in a row, we just got huge. luck and that made the first two days of this road trip even more epic than they are, but now we're leaving: I'll wash up and you can see that in the next all Bosch, as it's pronounced, is one of the places geographically more unique. In Mexico, this Carfry Island is located at the northern end of the Yucatan Peninsula and separated from the mainland by a Nature Reserve that is home to flamingos, pelicans, sea turtles and whale sharks.
You won't find much cell signal or Wi-Fi, and it's not unusual to lose power here, the beach slowly turns into a sandbar that seems almost endless and you can walk as you please with the water reaching no higher than your waist. Join us here as we take you in this video by car driving from the Cancun area cross the ferry walk along the beach will take you to a villa where you can eat something enjoy the sunset and even witness the bioluminescent plankton that come out at night the only way to Getting to Hull Bosch is one of two ferries that leave every half hour which makes it really easy, we just drove and parked right here at the terminal which makes it really easy and there are lots of buses and things from Cancun and others nearby areas to get to this point, the ferry costs one hundred and fifty pesos. one person with their fingers crossed, no, yes, I think this will work for the next 48 hours, this is our adorable little beach villa and we thought you might like to see it, so go ahead and say, this is it, but this It's all we need and the fact that we are on the beach here is everything and air conditioning is very important here in August this is called vs and canto it costs about 120 dollars a night which is quite expensive for this I don't know if you're on a backpacker budget but we're paying a higher price because they only had one room left and they're dog friendly so we just took it because for us it was worth it to be on the beach if you're looking for something a little cheaper than that there is Lots of cheaper hostels and accommodations in town and then you can walk a couple blocks to the beach, but include any of these super sweet orange bracelets and we have amazing access to hammocks and chairs. area in the water too, so enough of, oh, you're going to look at the bathroom, we can look at the bathroom, we're like actually, we already spent one night here, so you know, things are like they're inhabited, but these things seem new. and actually there is a water pressure surprise and we have this strange corner here like another bed how strange it is her friend is my friend this is a triple like I said this is really excessively big but everything else was reserved you can also say in these cute ones glamping yurts here so we will show you some of them but we don't want to like anyone else's room because it is fully booked and there is also a shared kitchen with toast, jam, coffee and little things to share.
So that's very good, well, I'll show you what includes that here and the reason why we put two years the month that we have a beach. We have seen someone there before. Check it out. It's sweaty walking around the city. We came here for the ATM. So there's an ATM on the island, that's nice, but we're thinking it might be a little more scenic and nice to hang out on the beach, so fines are a lunch, but Alison wants to say it's too hot on the city to be, it's just that you can. look we're sweating all the sunscreen on our faces is white right now you just can't be here it's so quiet so at least there's a breeze coming off the ocean how long has it been yeah local you go ?our full video of Bosh and you will also pass through the main road, which you will see on the map right there.
Basically, you have to go through it. to get here and there are some epic cenotes to visit there that we also don't have time to do on this trip which means we'll have to come back so enjoy the rest of our time. You will upload to a content on our channel and enjoy your trip here - that's Colorado, if we just spent two hours together, like and watch our other Mexican video on the west coast or travel through our country trips in our channel page see you soon
