Day 6: Cozumel

Day 6 of our cruise.

We went to Cozumel, Mexico. All 6 of us decided to travel to see the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico. Getting there was an adventure itself. To get to the Bus to take you the the Mayan Ruins, you must first take a ferry. These ferry's are pretty much a big speedboat that holds a lot of people. If you don't take the nausea medicine ever on the cruise, take it for this ride. You will be very nauseous. So this ride lasted about 30-45 minutes to get over to Playa de Carmen. We arrived at the dock and people were very happy to get off!




We then get off meet our tour guide and wait to walk to the bus. The walk to the bus was only about 5 minutes, we get on and our adventure begins, we are on our way to Tulum, Mexico. Raul,was our tour guide, a very nice man and a Mayan himself, he had a lot of historical facts about the Mayan ruins (hes a history teacher as well) and very passionate. We stopped at a little shop on the way there, Jason got his shot glass for his collection (it was started by family- some gets spoons, my husband gets shot glasses). We then got back on the bus and traveled to Tulum, once we got there, it was like a shopping center of the front of a Zoo, very interesting. We walked about 10 minutes to get there and finally did. The pictues will say the rest!





Jason, Amber and Lynn probably enjoyed this trip the most, but the rest of us did have fun.

I got to play in the ocean, get taken down by waves, and walk with sand in my feet. Overall this was a very cool place to visit, enjoy the pics!
