We got up early today to go see the ruins of Tulum before the crowds so we left the hotel just after 7 and walked there to enter just in time. These ruins are less architecturally impressive than Chichen Itza although the location is UNBELIEVEABLE! These ruins are perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the turquoise coloured waters of the Caribbean and have a rich history as a trading port that attracted traders from Cuba, Venezuela, Panama and supposedly even Vikings from the Nordic regions?!
These ruins are also unique in that there is a small beach that you can swim at that looks up at the ruins perched over the sea. The rest of the day was a lazy one because from tomorrow we start having to cover some distance as we need to be in LA within 3 weeks.
These guys are all over the place and can grow to over half a metre!!
One of the original murals that has been remarkably preserved!!
