Port 1 - Cozumel

At the Cozumel port, we booked an excursion to visit the ancient Mayan Ruins of Tulum. After getting off the ship, we took a ferry that took us to mainland Mexico. We then got on a bus and traveled for about an hour and a half to Quintana Roo.  It was a perfect day, not too hot. Seeing the ruins was awesome.
This is one of  five entrances to the walled ancient port city. 
Inside the walls, there were so many different huge buildings! A lot more than I had thought there would be. It is pretty amazing that so much of it remains.
It was so awesome!
These people enjoyed a prime piece of real estate. It sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We took these steps down to the beach.
Markham enjoying the water.
We would have liked to spend more time exploring the ruins and relaxing at this beautiful beach, but the ship waits for no one!
