Brandon’s travelogue

new Venus Restaurant

new Venus Restaurant

On the corner of 23rd and 8th, this little restaurant serves a mean Spanish omelet. Walk in and you feel at home, walk out and you feel stuffed.

The lobby of Hotel Chelsea during my stay. I'm am pretty sure that the artwork on the walls have been switched out. I could be wrong though.

Down 23rd Ave.

The sign gave me a chuckle at night when it was lit up. During my stay there, only the "TEL" in "HOTEL" was lit up along with "CHELSEA". When looking at it, it would say "TEL CHELSEA" and I thought to myself, "Tell her what?"

Hotel Chelsea

A view from my balcony. Hotel Chelsea is a beautiful place. They have all kinds or artwork covering the walls from the lobby, up the stairwells, to the hallways. Our room had a gigantic fireplace with a mantle. The hotel had a distinct smell, it was very antique.

City Hall

City Hall

This was the tallest building in Tulum. I am assuming it was the 'city hall' of Tulum. Much importance obviously, but right behind this construction of stone was blue upon blue upon blue of sea.

Hello Mr. Iguana

Hello Mr. Iguana

Tulum was infested with iguanas and all different species of lizards. They own the land now.

Myself and the blue water

Myself and the blue water

This is me embracing all that the sea has to offer. I was standing on the wall that was the border of Tulum.

This was a cliff covered with jungle foliage that drove straight into the blue water.

I am nodnarb. That's my nickname of course but you can call me Brandon if you prefer. I grew an obsession with traveling my first trip to NYC. I was about 14 years old and to see another part of the world not known to me fascinated me in every way. Every chance I get to travel I take it. I haven't been to many places but that will change :D
