Better late then never… we already left Mexico 10 days ago so here finally a few highlights of what we did. Overall, we loved Mexico! We spent 2 weeks in Tulum in an Airbnb followed by 10 days in a Resort in Playa del Carmen. During our first 2 weeks we took a Spanish language class every day from 9.00-12.00 at Metzli Language School. We really enjoyed the change from only sightseeing to having a fixed agenda every day. Luckily the kids also really liked the kids language lessons. Levins favorite activity was playing games in Spanish but Melia also really liked the learning new words and grammar. In the mornings before class, Lena joined the daily yoga classes (in Spanish of course) and in the afternoon we joined some of the cultural activities such as Mexican games, arts, cooking or dancing. During our free time we mainly chilled at our AirBnB and enjoyed the pool. We also rented bikes for a few days and cycled to the Tulum ruines as well as the beach. Overall the weather was a bit unsteady so we were not able to do some of the excursions we would have liked. However, we did head to Laguana Kaan Luum, which was awesome although a bit chilly.

From Tulum we headed 1h north to Playa del Carmen to our All In Resort. We are usually not big fans of non stop eating and drinking but the All In Hotels were in a similar price range as the breakfast only so we figured with 2 kids life is a lot easier if we don’t need to hunt for food every night. And we were right. Luckily the food was really good quality so we really enjoyed all our meals. The kids absolutely loved the Kids club and roamed the resort freely. They did not want to go to the beach, swim in the pool, or spend too much time with their parents. Given we have been together almost 24/7 for the past 6 months, this was great for all of us. So while the kids played all day, Lena and Felix went to the gym, to the beach, read at the pool and enjoyed life. We also continued with some private Spanish classes since our teacher from Tulum lives in Playa del Carmen. For the future we know that whenever we want to just relax and see nothing of the “real” world, all we need is a hotel with good kids animation.

Overall, Mexico was a great place and we will definitely come back again some day to also see a bit more of the Country. Now we are headed for our last stop The United States of America.
