Hammacas en la playa: $10 (byo)

Found amongst the hippy dippy $100/nite 'eco chic' boutique camping
spots with $7 margueritas were these two campesinos each with a hammock
da, no sign no bath nothing but this ocean front lot they inherited
and can´t afford to build on. $10 nite to camp here and NO PEOPLE! No
snoot nosed psychiatrists from Miami!. Just had to smile, make
friends, and a few words in Spanish. Sweet! Have to buy hammock! (edit) I later found a couple of other $10 spots and a couple of places where surely you could get away with rolling out a sleeping bag for free. Having your own car would solve all of these problems. And for $40 single or $55 for up to four people you can rent a cement floor cabana with a bed and communal showers. That place is the last one at the north end of Tulum beach, just before the ruins. I is called something like Zin Zin but looked like a real fun crowd. Stay away from Diamante K which appears to be run by a mean old witch who will get you when you aren·t looking. By the way, as I type this in the internet cafe, I realize you can not type without looking, as the keyboard is different. Wanna know how to do an @? That would be >Alt>64 in case you are interested.
