It's the way I Tulum!

We finally managed to drag ourselves from the beach to visit the nearby Maya ruins at Tulum, the only site not enveloped by jungle and the only one on the coast.

Although we arrived an hour after it opened at 9am, the site swiftly filled up with coach loads of tourists, mainly American, who true to cultural form, took a quick glance at the architecture, and promptly jumped into the sea.

It was a change wandering around a site with palm trees rather than jungle, and we saw a number of iguanas.  Fortunately for us, a number of the ruins were roped off and so there were no steep steps to climb,

Having spent a couple of hours around the site, we took the opportunity to call into Tulum village, although we would probably call it a small town.  We stocked up on sun cream, had a reviving drink and headed back to the beach.

The weather has turned remarkably windy, and because the sand is so fine, it is blown everywhere.  Once you have sun cream on, you're quickly covered in a cocktail of sand from the beach and salt from the sea. A name for our cocktail is invited.

Rain is forecast for today, but at the time of writing, the sun is shining and the wind still blowing.

We are hoping to discover what a ceynote is today.
