[Saint Greg]

Quick breakfast in the buffet

 

 

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

Coffee to go

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I’m down to 20 pesos. I may not be able to use dollars in coba. Front desk girl says you get a better exchange rate at the atm. I need so few the few would probably make it a bad deal for me. But she really seemed to want me to use the atm. It’s in the convention center she says.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I walk all around this thing. It turns out its outside.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

An employee helped me find it

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I had a dispense error. Back to the lobby. A different front desk agent. I gave him $15 for $258 pesos which I think is enoug. Plus I have 20. Plus I know the collectivo driver would take dollars on the return trip if I absolutely needed it. But I think I’m going to be good.

 

This front desk age t could t understand me. He asks room number 5815. That’s room 5851.  No 5815. That’s rooom 5852. No 5-8-1-5. 5815. 

[Saint Greg]

I asked the bellman how long for the shuttle they said 20 mins. I say forget that I’m waking it.

 

I’m shortcutting  through the parking lot

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

I wanted to get this shot anyway.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

It’s been about 5 mins and here comes the shuttle. I look down at the ground in disgust. The driver stops. I look and see I’m not far from the entrance. I wave him off.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I end up getting to the entrance about the same time I would’ve on the shuttle

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I cross the street to collectivo hunt

 

 

[Saint Greg]

It doesn’t take long. Less than a minute

 

 

[Saint Greg]

And here we are. I have to get to tulum. Then north

 

 

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

I’m going to guess ave coba  is where I need to get off

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I told the driver what’s up. He’s going to get me where I need to be For the last leg.

[Saint Greg]

I was hoping to be there a 9. Getting jerked around for pesos cost me. 

[Saint Greg]

The driver dropped me off and said walk to the stop light and catch the collectivo at the corner.

 

[Saint Greg]

Sure enough at the corner 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

[Saint Greg]

Alright I’ve been sitting here 20 minutes. I hope he isn’t waiting for this thing to fill up. Hopefully he just leaves at 9:30 otherwise I’m going to have to see what’s up. 

In other news I didn’t fully charge my phone and my portable charger seems to be not working anymore so I’ve got to make 82% last me.
