Turns out there is no real difference between cancun and Playa del Carmen - both are tourism hubs especially for gringos but also increasingly popular with Germans... They had the same funny club we saw at the beach road in cancun - la vaquita ole... The gogo dancers dress up as cows here...
However it's gotta be said that playa del Carmen has a beautiful beach as well - so I don't blame anyone escaping the cold and hanging out here:
There is also some local culture to be seen: I almost panicked seeing these guys climbing the tower and then hanging onto those ropes without any protection but then again they do this every day so I'm sure they have the practice.
We also happened to stumble upon a very Mexican restaurant on top of a shopping center in playa. I had this yummy but incredibly filling dish that basically consisted of bread, cheese, beans and nachos - no wonder Mexican people tend to be as obese a the Americans (if not worse). Judging from the people I have seen, I'd say they are close but I thought I read somewhere last summer that Mexicans are even fatter than Americans on average...
Tailored specifically to New Yorkers ;-)
So they don't miss TriBeCa clubs too much while hanging out in the sun during the brutal NY winter...
