Playa del Carmen is a
ghost town. The first day we were here, you could look down the
street and see hundreds of people walking around. Now there are only
handfuls of "brave" tourists. Again this works in our favor
and we are able to book a tour to Chichen Itza at a reduced price.
We head out early in the
morning and our van gets us there in a little under 4 hours. The
ruins are empty and we explore this new wonder of the world for a
couple hours. After a quick lunch we take a dip in one to the nearby
Cenotes. These are
underground caves, filled with cool, clear, fresh water. The one we
visit is also filled with hundreds of little fish that enjoyed
nibbling at our feet.
By the time we get back to
Playa, its dinner time and we eat quickly and head to bed. We've got
another early morning tomorrow.
