      Hi Laurel, there are lots of new developments on the Ruta De Los Cenotes which is the road from PM to Leona Vicario so there are rentals in that area already right out in the Jungle. If you want to be in PM check for rentals in El Farro or Selva Escondida both of which are beside the jungle and you can see Parrots and Monkeys.

    Hi guys, great video and great timing. I was just wondering about a hardware store for the new house. Do you know if the is a place to buy a bicycle in Colonia? How are you liking the drone? Can’t wait to play with mine there. Tricky shot through the trees 😉. I’m worried I’ll lose mine in the mangler. 😂. Is the Michelada sweet? Looks like it would be spicy. Less than two weeks to go, yipeee!

      Thanks so much Jeff. We are enjoying flying the drone but are still not super confident with it yet. (But we haven’t crashed it yet lol 😂) You can buy bikes on Calle Caoba (just down from the 7-11. Ricky and I bought our bikes there and the owner is very nice. The Micheladas are so unique - sweet & sour , we really enjoy them. Woah 2 weeks is not long !! Soon you will have your toes in the Caribbean !

    Hi, thank you for your videos. Are you guys living right in the Colonia, as with the growing size in that area, I noticed all the different sections and names in that side. Also if you don’t mind me asking, you mentioned you were from northern Ont. What part? I’m from the Sault.

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  2 года назад

      Yes, we live right here in Colonia. We made another video on rentals in Colonia and explain the different neighborhoods here that might be interesting to you. Yes, we lived in Haliburton County but I think you might call that ‘near North’ as you are from the Sault lol. We went through there on our way to Pancake Bay camping years ago.

    Where would you go for medical attention in an emergency? How about for physicals and lab work?

    • @RickRackTravels
      @RickRackTravels  2 года назад +1

      Hi Jennifer, for emergencies the Cities of Cancun and Playa Del Carmen are well equipped with modern hospitals with accident and emergency units. Both are approximately 25 minutes away, Cancun to the North and PDC to the South. Specialist Doctors and Surgeons will often come to the two Doctors Offices that we show in the video. They usually attend one or two days per week and you can make a pre arranged appointment to see them. Lab work can be taken right here in PM although it may be processed elsewhere. There is another Medical facility in PM in the Pescadores area that we did not show in the video but there you can also have xrays taken. Hope this answers your questions.

      Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. I am very sorry to hear Canadians make fun of your accent. Sadly, I am not surprised- Ricky also was made fun of for his Irish accent in Canada. I also agree that Mexicans do not make fun of people trying to speak Spanish. We have encountered this so many times- they really try to understand and help. Love living in Mexico and also the very kind Mexican people 🇲🇽🥰
