Day 6 - Cancun, Mexico

On Friday we docked in Cancun, Mexico. The waters were probably the most beautiful we had seen on our trip. We quickly boarded a ferry and headed to the Tulum coast to see the Tulum ruins.

A bus took us out to the site. They were amazing. I have seen some ruins in Honduras and across the border of Belize in south Mexico, but I have never seen ruins on the coast like this. We had a guide that told us all about the area and traditions of Mayan people.


After the tour we took the bus to a small beach side club and restaurant called Ak’iin. We ate fajitas with rice and beans and then laid out on the beach. The water was so nice. We swam, read our books and bought two hammocks from a vendor walking down the coast. What a wonderful time we had. We got back on the ferry to return to the ship and the waters were rough. I was getting sick on the ferry. The ferry had trash cans in the aisle ways of the boat. I was on the aisle and this older lady got out of her seat and sat right in front and started throwing up in the trash can. I was dying. I almost lost it and then she finally sat back down. Once back on the cruise liner I was ok.

It is so beautiful! I loved the sand and the water at Cancun. I want to go back and see Tulum too! We should all go and stay at an all-inclusive near Tulum!
