Saturday 7th
An all day tour taking in Chichen Itza and a nearby cenote (sink hole).

 |
 |
The area of the ruins is very extensive and has yet to be fully investigated and/or restored |
|
|
|
 |
The Cenote where the challenge is to take on the 100 steps down to the water. All the red specs are swimmers with life jackets. It seems that a lot of visitors aren't good swimmers. |
 |
|
|
As it was a very hot day, the cold refreshments
offered by the tour guide on return to the bus was greatly appreciated.

Sunday 8th
A half day tour to the Tulum ruins south of Cancun. Not as spectacular or extensive as Chichen Itza but just as interesting. On return to the hotel it was rest time by the pool.
