Cruise - Day 5

Dzibilchaltun

We booked a Mayan Ruin and Beach combo excursion in Progresso.  I read Progresso is really dirty and it was advised that if you want to do an excursion this is the place to do an organized activity since there isn’t much more offered. Well, unless you want to walk a really dirty town with a ton of wild dogs exploring for scrap remains.   The reviews also did not lie in letting me know that these Mayan Ruins were a decent adventure. There was even a cenote, but it wasn’t appealing and there were way to many people for my taste. If the tour would have stopped there, the trip would have been a success.  But, now, that would not make a very exciting story would it?  

Since we were without kids on this trip, the typically pictures of couples in front of things became the theme.  So, without a further ado, I present.....

Alan standing next to the Yucca plant, a useful resource back in the day.

This is Kat & Alan at a horrible beach after the driver got us lost and then they ran out of beer.  Two different types of beer.  The cocktails were horrible.  Then, they tried to serve us malt liquor over ice.  Seriously.  It sucked.  We would have taken a cab back to the ship, but  remembered the really dirty town with a crazy amount of wild dogs we had to travel through to reach port. So, we suffered though it.

The end.

Ps.  Madison and Austin had the best time ever at Camp Carnival.  By the way, if I haven’t told you the trick to getting Austin to go to camp, let me share that with you....Quite simple, ”Mommy has to go to work.”  It works like a charm.
