Today was a pretty busy day, even though we only intended to go to one place.
We started the day out lazily by sleeping in until 11:00am. Got up and asked our tour sales guy, Victor, if he could get us to Chitzen Itza; unfortunately the tour left at 7:00am. We ended up renting a car [...]
Today Bonny and I had a very awesome time at Xcaret, Mexico. Think Disneyland in Mexico with a Mayan, jungle and Caribbean theme. It was way one of the best experiences we have had.
The best part for me was when we went swimming in underground rivers and swimming in the jungle. This is just a [...]
Not much today, mostly relaxing for tomorrows wedding. I can’t go getting killed or getting stranded somewhere right before the wedding now can I?
Basically we woke up really late, went to eat, went swimming, then had a fancy dinner.
Above is another bit of video from our day 2 in Cancun, Mexico. We got to go kayaking, meet a monkey, and go on a pirate cruise!
I’d also like to write (type) about what made it possible for me to be here. I am here for work…
Without Bonny, I don’t think I’d be able to [...]
Wow! Cancun is so awesome!
Here is a quick video (30 seconds) recap of our day. We got to see the beautiful beach and water, walk around a bit of Mayan ruins, see some wildlife and go swimming.
We still have not gotten in touch with Aaron (I’m shooting the wedding on Sunday with him) so hopefully [...]

Today was a pretty busy day, even though we only intended to go to one place.
We started the day out lazily by sleeping in until 11:00am. Got up and asked our tour sales guy, Victor, if he could get us to Chitzen Itza; unfortunately the tour left at 7:00am. We ended up renting a car and thinking it would be a great idea to drive there. We mapped out a really great day trip from Cancun to Chitzen Itza then to Tulum. We had plenty of time to make it a good long road trip across a lot of the Yucatan Peninsula.
We started out great, our rental car guy gave us a map and told us the fastest and most cost effective way of going. Basically there is a toll road that has two toll plazas, one $20 one and the next one is $16. There is no avoiding the $20 unless you go on rural roads which will make your trip about 4 hours. So we were off on our way. All would have been well if there was not construction… we were delayed an hour and a half going through what should have been our 20 minute $16 savings route 
Once we made it to Chitzen Itza all was great, we walked around and took photographs and some video.
When it was time to leave were were hungry so we went to find a Taco place… after a week here it seems like taco’s are a Pacific thing… it took us about 30 minutes to find a place that served taco’s. The taco’s we ate had a local flavor to them, the ingredients were all fresh and delicious.
Well, by that time we were pretty late and so we debated canceling the Tulum trip. It was just getting too late in the day, we had already driven 200km to Chitzen Itza and it was another 200km to Tulum and then another 130km back to our hotel so we decided to take the scenic rural route back to our hotel (you know, the one with no toll). It was an amazing adventure back. With a mega thunder storm, dogs, chickens, a cat, a church in ruins, and about a thousand speed bumps we made it back in just under 5 hours.
Since Bonny shot the day with our HD camera, I just captured some random pieces of footage from the tape to post, once I get back home I’ll capture the footage and post something else, too.
The day can only be summed up by calling it an adventure Charlie.
