Buenas muchachos!
Today we are going to visit the ruins of Tulum! The pictures in my book are stunning so I am really looking forward to it! We decided to go early, and show up at the time it is supposed to open, for two reasons: 1- avoid the crowds, 2- avoid the heat. We kind of managed to do the 1st one and the second one two and it was a good idea because the site has got nearly no shade at all!
The site is indeed stunning, to see more pictures of just the ruins check HERE. Otherwise scroll down and you will see some of it with out faces!

| iguanas are everywhere, soaking up the sun! |
After the ruins, we decided to go for a swim, the day was becoming way to hot to stay dry, plus all the crowds already arrived by buses. So we went back to the beach of our first day in Tulum. We found a place where we could be alone and we spent the rest of the morning there.

We went back to the hostel, not doing the same mistake as our first day, we took a "collectivo". Later that day, we went, in the afternoon, back to the cenote Cristalino, we really liked the cool water and the trees to keep us in the shade.
We ate on the main road in a small street food restaurant later that evening. We ate various quesadillas and Damien was brave enough to try the local drink: agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus tea). Unfortunately, he paid the price for his bravery later that night. :S
After diner, we went to an internet café, me : to check mails and update the blog and Damien : for his fantasy football team!
Finally bed time!
Buenas noches!
Damien and Caro
