this beach is literally impossible to find
every person that we've passed so far looks like they're lost as well and can't find it
Springs
baby ferns I'm curling every living thing be to me a mother
show me faded colors
we're Lloyd and Mandy we're digital Nomads currently traveling the world
in search of somewhere we can call our forever home we've been living
in Playa del Carmen for the past two months now and have been trying to
explore as much of the area as possible before we head off to see more of Mexico
well it's another perfect day here in Playa del Carmen you're not supposed to be wet season but
we've had so many sunny days since we've been here there was a hurricane hurricane Ian that was over
the Gulf of Mexico the last few days it must have just missed us because we got a little bit of rain
but not that much today we're going to head down to another Beach called Playa car it's about a 20
minute bike ride from the other end of Playa Del Carmen where we're staying it's apparently one of
the nicest beaches here in Playa del Carmen and I have heard that there's no seaweed or sargasm
which is a bit of a problem here in Playa del Carmen in the summer months especially
it's gotten worse and worse so we're going to check it out and see what it's like down
there today we're going to take you guys with us we've got a few pit stops to make on the way
not today
I know you're feeling all along these days
not today
so first impression is a player car I guess it's like a guided Community there's hotels
but there's a lot of houses and condos they're really nice I think this is a more affluent part
of the Town definitely it was almost like Suburbia like just doesn't quite feel like
we're in Mexico anymore really interested to see what the beach looks like well we had no
idea this was here feels like the Beverly Hills of Playa del Carmen some of these Resorts man
hectic it sort of feels like we've stumbled upon like the Hollywood or Beverly Hills of Mexico
that's what I said really maybe I heard you and I just didn't and I just took it as my own idea
all right we just rode all the way toward the map said to go to the beach and it was private
so now we gotta ride pretty much halfway back to where we think it might be
not very much luck at the moment all right we've been yelled at a bit today going the wrong way we
rode like probably two k's further than we needed to and tried to go into two different beaches and
got yelled at and there's a deer right there oh my god I didn't even know there was deer here
this is so cool okay well that was the coolest thing that's ever happened
I can't believe there's deer in here and it wasn't even scared of us that's so cool this
beach is literally impossible to find every person that we've passed so far looks like
they're lost as well and can't find it and the signs really aren't clear-cut so we don't feel
so bad because there's other people trying to find it at the moment too there's a bunch of mine ruins
just here as well that we walk past oh here we go you can see the water but we can't get to it
wow
I think this is the nicest beach we've been
to so far on the mainland Islam Harris is pretty hard to beat but
look at it
still lost in Mexico
all right we just want to take a second to introduce today's video sponsor which
is Payson thank you guys really like Payson actually I know you do because a lot of you
click on the links which is great for us because we love having video sponsors that help you guys

hours a day seven days a week using your tablet or smartphone or even your laptop they transfer
your money using local currency or other supporter currency at the middle rate with no hidden fees or

to get a drink because it is hot out here middle of the day is always when we seem to be out and
about which is sometimes a mistake because we end up just sweating in the midday Sun but yeah we're
gonna go find somewhere to have a cool drink maybe something to eat and we'll take you guys with us
thank you what
too much riding today written so far it must mean 10K
foreign
dinner tonight and then we're gonna go out for a drink and watch the football which we've been
doing a lot of since we've been in Mexico I don't think you guys understand how much I
miss cooking Lloyd and I literally used to cook at home every night and then when we left for Bali we
stopped because obviously we didn't have a kitchen and we were living in guest houses and it was too
pretty to eat out actually but um really really enjoying cooking again the only thing that I'm
struggling with cooking in here is the limited dishes that we have kind of have to make do
we don't have like a bowl really for me to put salad in so I'm gonna have to get creative I'm
making dinner but also doing the dishes and the hot water hasn't been working in
the apartment that we've rented so you have to boil the water before you can
do the dishes so things have been piling up a lot because we're well a bit lazy but
it's not you have to boil the water in order to get them clean from breakfast
um we've asked for him to fix it for when we come back here but we'll see if that happens
I moved out of the house at 16.
and so I'm very very much used to going without a lot of things and just making [ __ ] work
Lloyd and I actually did Van life together in like the one of the earlier years of us dating
and we got through with like two bowls one of these knives and we used a lid for a tupperware
as our chopping board and that worked for an embarrassingly amount of time foreign
presentation at two
shut up
all right so I think we're going to finish the day off with finding somewhere to watch some
football and have a couple of drinks I think the best part about living in Playa del Carmen Jesus
the best part about living here is probably that if you're staying anywhere downtown
you can walk pretty much anywhere and there's so many different places to go
to like we've only been to a few bars and restaurants here there's so many options
um so we're going to try and find somewhere now so in Australia cars have the right away um
we're about thinking it but in Mexico and I think most of North America people have
the right of way so we keep finding that we're going to stand next to a
road and waiting for the car to go past for us to cross and they always like
urgently stop thinking that we're gonna walk in front of them or if you're comfortable waiting
they'll still stop even if they were like ages away it's kind of like just go but it's our fault
it's it's probably safe it's probably a good thing but it can be really annoying because
I'm just used to figuring it out like I'll go as soon as the car drives past me and like I'm
timing it so I'm I'm going to go behind the car and then they slam their brakes on and I feel bad
all right we found a pretty good spot to watch football they had live music as well
but it was kind of awkward hey a little bit watching the football with our backs turned
to the live music I felt so uncomfortable yeah I felt a little bit bad The Wider there was like
growing with me because I was watching football I think he thought I was an American like
and got like really rooting for the team but really I'm just there to watch whatever games on
and whatever one you better yeah yeah I think it's a little bit strange for
some people that an Australian really likes American football but it's something I've
really been into the last few years I think from spending time in the US and Canada
I grew up watching Australian Rules Football but when you travel and you leave you sort of lose
interest and there's just something about NFL football it's really exciting there's
so much on the line every game there's so much money on the line and they only play 17 games a
year I love the home team aspect as well which we don't really have in Australian football we
mentioned in another video that we're heading to New York in a few weeks and we just bought
tickets to go to our first NFL game which should be pretty good very very excited
yeah we're gonna to do the whole tailgating and everything before it very exciting yeah
um but it's going to be freezing cold when we get there which we've been in summer weather
like hot weather for the last 10 months so we're gonna have to buy some jackets and
long pants I think for sure I don't know how we're going to fit everything in our luggage
all right
