day 6 (monday) we planned to go to akumal bay
akumal is known as "the place of the turtles" and is a protected ecological marine research and turtle protection area.
we took the collectivo again, but this time only about 10 minutes south of our resort. akumal beach was gorgeous with perfect white sandy beaches and practically no one was there. we had to watch a wildlife protection video before we could enter the water, but then we rented some snorkel gear and headed out to find us some sea life.
we saw lots of sea turtles and sting rays! not too many tropical fish, but that's ok because we've seen those plenty of times snorkeling in other places. i've never swam with turtles before (or stingrays for that matter), so it was quite the experience!
that night we ate at the resort's italian restaurant and watched the nba playoffs in one of the lounges. i guess even on vacation in mexico you can't get away from the nba
