Tulum.... Yes like the turkish cheese... I first find my italians back and they drink me (another version of drug me in slang language (means they give me free drinks =))... And I just decide they are too cool to pass by again and hang out in their place after seeing that where I stay in tulum sucks (read warnings in my mexico).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwTORBBjI/AAAAAAAAAYo/kxZMRIkyhlw/s1600-h/IMG_2213.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503960905811506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 145px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 121px" height="131" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwTORBBjI/AAAAAAAAAYo/kxZMRIkyhlw/s200/IMG_2213.jpg" width="164" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I had this long passion for cenotes (kuyu in Turkish).

I noticed 2 minutes after I got my bicycle that it didn't have brakes!!!!!! I turned back somehow!! and chose the only bicycle among the 4 that actually has a brake =)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwL-RBBgI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/mgDmUmWyo2w/s1600-h/IMG_2225.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503836351759874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="150" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwL-RBBgI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/mgDmUmWyo2w/s200/IMG_2225.jpg" width="119" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; First picture is the road I drive (it is OK, the speed limit is only 90 on the picture =), the second one is my infamous bike and its cool driver, and the third one is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwL-RBBhI/AAAAAAAAAYY/p2ap7Mc7k8I/s1600-h/IMG_2227.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503836351759890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="106" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwL-RBBhI/AAAAAAAAAYY/p2ap7Mc7k8I/s200/IMG_2227.jpg" width="159" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; from the cool beaches of tulum taken by an idiot who never entered the see there and always preferred cenotes (kuyus) =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxv5eRBBYI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/MCnTOG6kjxE/s1600-h/IMG_2243.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503518524179842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="164" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxv5eRBBYI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/MCnTOG6kjxE/s200/IMG_2243.jpg" width="115" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxv5eRBBZI/AAAAAAAAAXY/JAOm7DdrhCs/s1600-h/IMG_2244.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503518524179858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="164" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxv5eRBBZI/AAAAAAAAAXY/JAOm7DdrhCs/s200/IMG_2244.jpg" width="122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We go ahead with our cenote trip this time with two of my italian friends.

It is neither huge nor most famous, it is the ruins of the beach, so you simply enjoy the view&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBUI/AAAAAAAAAWw/QmK2IL_KA3A/s1600-h/IMG_2263.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503290890913090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBUI/AAAAAAAAAWw/QmK2IL_KA3A/s200/IMG_2263.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and take cool photos =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBVI/AAAAAAAAAW4/gPynqT08xT0/s1600-h/IMG_2265.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503290890913106" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBVI/AAAAAAAAAW4/gPynqT08xT0/s200/IMG_2265.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBWI/AAAAAAAAAXA/fbHkcoz-NeQ/s1600-h/IMG_2266.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503290890913122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvsORBBWI/AAAAAAAAAXA/fbHkcoz-NeQ/s200/IMG_2266.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; View of the ocean from the ruin..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvseRBBXI/AAAAAAAAAXI/guNDd7ABy6A/s1600-h/IMG_2267.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011503295185880434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxvseRBBXI/AAAAAAAAAXI/guNDd7ABy6A/s200/IMG_2267.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Another better view of the ruins.. Both the view and the ruins are contaminated by an american peeing on the beach... You can see him hiding from people at the back of the rock but not from me. And I am no one to hide things others should be ashamed of from public. At least am glad that he is no Turkish... I guess we can say he is peeing publicly in a public place.. =)... What things you can capture with travelling feet, a small camera and some careful eyes !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So adios Tulum, and thank you for those awesome views....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://umutuxmalchitchenitza.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;-Previous&lt;/a&gt;                                                                        &lt;a href="http://umutcozumelcancun.blogspot.com/"&gt;Next-&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2107285678158437217-6926170298958629472?l=umuttulum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://umuttulum.blogspot.com/feeds/6926170298958629472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2107285678158437217&amp;postID=6926170298958629472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2107285678158437217/posts/default/6926170298958629472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2107285678158437217/posts/default/6926170298958629472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://umuttulum.blogspot.com/2006/12/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>umut</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11876423563112200036</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z7cYBRjUVsk/RYxwS-RBBiI/AAAAAAAAAYg/09hdo0kLuwE/s72-c/IMG_2199.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
