We still had a car today, so we started heading toward Cancun. Our intention was to travel through Cancun and to take a ferry to Isla de Mujeres. We didn't make it, instead being sidetracked into Playa del Carmen. I think this was a lucky happenstance.
We were not crazy about Cancun, but we found we rather liked Playa del Carmen. It is full of huge resorts, but at least you can walk the beach and stop here and there to have a beer. A few blocks off the beach was a pedestrian street with heaps of little shops and hotels. Starbucks and MacDonalds was there, but so were little interesting restaurants and hostels. We enjoyed our walk.
