Day 3: Coba/Tulum

The sun sets at 6:30. We are staying in cabins without electricity, which means they are lit by candles. We have a mosquito net around our bed (an absolute necessity). The reeds/bamboo that serve as walls in the bathroom offer a drafty sort of rustic feel. Thankfully we have hot water and are not suffering too much....it's basically just a step up from camping.

Today we took a bus to another site of Mayan ruins - Coba. It was amazing. The ruins are hidden amid the jungle and reachable by foot or on bike. We chose to explore on bikes and it was worth all $3. Here's some pictures from the day..... Tomorrow we'll be hitting up the beaches in Tulum.....known for their optional clothing policy....ahhh!!!!


We were loving the freedom on the bikes!

The ruins were all in the middle of the jungle.

Yes, We climbed that beast.....not the safest of activities.

Ang is trying to depict what "The Ball Game" was for the Mayan Athletes.

Another slab of stone the Mayans wrote/drew on.

We found Chivas fans in Tulum.

And we finally had our pineapple drinks on the beach.

Lovingly called a "Coco Loco."
