First we went to a "Mayan Village". It was supposed to be authentic, but it looked fake and kind of gross - luckily we did not stay long.
Next we went to a cenote to swim - this was really nice - we stayed for about 45 minutes.
Then we had lunch and shopping at a market/restaurant. It was pretty tasty, but I suffered later - Warning - do NOT eat raw vegetables anywhere that is not on the resort!
After lunch we spent the afternoon at Coba. The guide showed us all the stuff, like the ball court, etc. The walk in to the pyramid is a whole kilometer - but you can get a bicycle or have a guy drive you on a cart for a few dollars. If you are planning to climb the pyramid wear runners! It was hard to climb, but the view at the top was incredible.
This is my first try at posting pictures - fingers crossed!
