Back at Cozumel, Mexico again this morning. This was the stop on the original itinerary, lol. Was a little bit late getting to the early breakfast, and was told so by the top chef on the ship. He usually says good morning to the first comers and we’ve had a chat or two.

As this was another tour on the mainland, once again had to catch the ferry across, about 45 minutes from cast off to hop off! Met our tour guides and had a walk through Playa del Carmen to the bus. We then had a 2 hour bus ride to Chichen Itza. I’m pleased I had seen the Tulum ruins first as these really are so much better. An amazing place that’s touted as one of the seven wonders of the New World, and it really is a wonder. Built and carved out of limestone, the original in all it’s colour would have been brilliant to see, as long as you weren’t the sacrifice.

We had a 35 minute guided tour and then some free time. The site is full of vendors selling a huge range of wares, most of then saying, “It’s nearly free, only $1” I had a wander around, grabbed the few virtual munzees around the site, had a wander through the small wooded area near the pyramid and then back to the bus for our 2 hour trip back to the ferry. Once back on board the ship, a shower was wonderful, as it was quite warm and very humid, on the way back we drove through a very heavy rain shower, so very sticky!

Dinner and blog and now I’m going off to see a Show entitled “Blue Planet”, no idea what it is or how it’s presented!
