The last stop on our cruise was Cozumel, Mexico. We decided to visit the Coba Mayan Ruins in Cozumel.
As soon as we left the ship, we boarded a tender boat to take us to the mainland. It was a very rough 35 minute ride, and lots of people got sick. However, Steve and I were troopers and didn't get sick (Whew!!!). Then we had to board a bus and had about an hour and a half ride to get to the ruins. Once we (finally) got there, we immediately had to start walking into the jungle about a mile and a half to get back to the pyramid. There were many things to see along the way, but not a lot of time to see them. Anyway, we got back to the pyramid and we decided to climb to the top. Steve didn't think I would make it all the way up, so he went ahead without me. But, I'm no creampuff - I climbed all the way up. OHMYGOD - what a climb. That thing is really steep, and I didn't realize I was so out of shape. Anyway, I made it to the top and Steve was shocked to see me. The view from the top was amazing. Okay - now it's time to come down. Because it's so steep, I wasn't comfortable walking down an I wasn't the only one. Most of us came down on our butt. By the time I got back down I was exhausted, but now it's time to walk (almost run) back to the bus. There was barely enough time for a bathroom stop and then it's back on the bus for another hour and a half ride back to get on the tender boat. Then there's a 35 minute (rough) ride back to the island. We had just a few minutes to check out a couple of shops before boarding the ship again.
Even though there was a lot of travel time during this cruise, we got to see a lot of the area, and I'm anxious to go back to Cozumel again. Another good day.
Yes, I climbed all the way to the top
