Bird parc Playa del Carmen

At the busstop for the hotel busses we could hear birds screaming and we were looking and found the screaming ones in a tree just behind us.
There are more birds then these white ones, cause there is a whole parc full of animals to take a look at and learn more about them.
The website is about an other parc with birds and animals.

Of the beaten path !

And you will be surprised of all the little tracks you see. And you will have the feeling they are heading now where. Most are blocked with signs that you arent allowed to walk any further (and if i were you i wouldnt walk one step further if you see a sign like that).
If you wanna follow a track like this then you make sure that some people know where you are going and which track you are taking, cause all of the tracks are the same and you may easy get lost (and never come back to enjoy your holiday??)

Jungle in the middle of the town

Even in the middle of the city of Playa del Carmen there is jungle. Its amazing that even in the part you dont expect it there is jungle.
Mexico must have been so green, and still is. The cities there are are just build in the middle of these jungles and you better dont step beside the beaten path cause its easy to get lost.

Walk into a garden

Into a Playa garden

When we walking on the 5th boulevard we saw a little street heading to a Mexican-peoples garden. We came into a garden with a lot of Birds. That was so funny to see, cause with the jungle nearby i bed you can see hunderds of them in the free nature.
But maybe this person wasnt able to go there often and he / she likes birds very much?

Little temple in Playa

When you walk from the busstop to the boulevard you come across this little temple. Its on a little hill left of hotel Continental Plaza. Its funny though, cause it can be there for ages (you see so much that is Mayan) but it also could be placed there just to please the tourists.
You cant tell, cause they all look the same.

Jungle and cave in the city

Its so beautifull that Mexicans just build through jungles their way to sivelysation. At the funniest places you can meet jungle in Playa del Carmen. Just around the corner, looking out of a toiletwindow or just walking down the street.
This piece of jungle was near the busstop on a corner of a street full of houses and roads. But i am glad they are not like us Europeans....they leave the tree(s) and build around it. (or is that because of the cave?)

House with tree in Playa del Carmen

Again i have to tell you to look up when you are walking somewhere. Well i dont think this building needs a lot of looking up cause of the colours its painted in and of the beautifull tree infront of the door you should spot it staight away. The colours match so well, and gives you the real Carraibean feeling.
