 Yv and Leny after a day
shopping in Playa by Umfufu
On the picture you can see me and Leny just ended a day at the boulevard....HAPPY FACES !
You can buy from local craft work, wooden pieces, silver and gold juwelery, Mexican drinks and food, Mexican clothes and dont forget the sombrero. And now i forget more then half of the things, but i think the 2047 charaters wouldnt be enough to tell you all.
Make sure if you buy on the street markets you start bedding at 1/3 rd of the prize they are telling you, that you have to pay in the first place. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Cowboy boots in Playa by Umfufu
But when i turned to see the prizes of these boots, bellts and other things...i didnt want to bring any boot back to Holland LOL
They have the most wonderful boots you can imagine, so if you wanna pay a lot of money for them......and you really, really like them you should buy a pair of boots.
The prize i had to pay for the boots i liked was $ 400, so........and they didnt bring the prize down !! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 5th AvenueDirections: In the middle of the street on the right side

 T-shirt shop in Playa del
Carmen by Umfufu
So if you see one you like just walk all of 5th Boulevard and make sure you dont pay too much.
Never too much !
Some shops are having a "shopprize" like in the USA or Europ, at others you can make your own prize. Leave a Comment Theme: Men's ClothesAddress: 5th Boulevard

 Hammock shop at Playa del
Carmen by Umfufu
Hammocks are the beds of the Mayan people and dont forget to sleep in it the Mayan way, cause that spares your neck and back. (that means that you dont lay in the lenght of the hammock).
We have seen several prizes of those hammocks. It depends if you want a sitt-hammock or a bed-hammock.
Never pay to much but if you bet to low you will miss the bargain ! Leave a Comment

 Plaitlady at 5th Avenue by Umfufu
Its great cause you dont have to worry about the way you look for about 10 - 14 days.
There are more ladies who wanna please you with this hairstyle so if you are together there is no need you have to wait for one an other.
I didnt ask this time, cause my hair was to short. And for a change they didnt came over to me to ask if i wanted my hair in plaits too.
That was a real releave.
Aks the lady a prize, and just say something lower (about 50%) and see what happens Leave a Comment

 Shoppingstreet Playa del
Carmen by Umfufu
Its just a great day out and if you like to buy some great things (Mexican or not) to bring home, you can eat your heart out at 5th Avenue (or Boulevard).
There are all kind of things, just have a look at one of my travelogues in one of my other Mexican pages.
Make sure you cant buy the same item in the shop next door for a cheaper prize. Leave a Comment

 Shopping street by Umfufu
I bought a silver ring with the guy on the little market, cause he is much more cheaper then the shop on 5th Avenue.
If they tell you they want to have $ 30 for somthing start with your bed of $ 10 cause then you end up on a reasonable prize. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Near the beach on the Senor Frogg end

 Playacar beach properties by Umfufu
Near the beach with no neighbours.....with swimmingpool on a little platform so when there is a little wind you catch it. Painted in white with a orange tiled roof...and tell me when you did so i could go there again .....as being you friend !
Well i think you have to stick to the way you buy all your other things in Playa... only pay half the prize they tell you in the beginning Leave a Comment

 Yv the cowgirl by Umfufu
You can buy here all kind of leather things, even made specially for you. But remember you pay the prize !
If you dont have a big heavy wallet just go past this shop, or dribble for the windows. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 5th AvenueDirections: Just in the middle of the street on the right side.

 Sidestreet of 5th Avenue by Umfufu
Like the local backery or butcher.
You shouldnt buy any thing to eat from the butcher if you stay in a hotel, or wanna take it home with you, cause you are not allowed to take any meat with you into the plane.
But you can always buy something at the backery and eat it before you leave the country. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
