Yesterday we stopped in Mexico and had a chance to go to the Mayan Ruins at Tulum. It was a full day of travel. We left the ship before 8 in the morning and did not get back until just before 5. Another long and tiring day in the heat. We needed the ferry ride to the main land and then then the 1 hour bus ride to the ruins. Of course we had the needed pit stop at the shop selling the expensive "hand made" items we all have come to know. Rugs in Morocco and Turkey, items in Russia, etc. all these tours stop at the preferred location.
The ruins were interesting and we are glad that we went but there really is not much there other than the main sacrifice altar which we could only see from a distance for obvious reasons. We would go back to many places with ruins that we have been lucky enough top visit but this would not be one of them. we did stop for some local beer (DOS XX) and a snack with was tasty after the hours in the sun. By the time we got back to Cozumel all the shops were closing, not that we would be buying anything.
Last night we enjoyed a drink in the bar at the top. I won a free drink in this bar and so we decided to make it the place for our cocktail. A bit more expensive but the olives they serve are a very nice touch. Today it is a day at sea and then the Princess Cay beach tomorrow!
