Honeymoon: Day 2

Our new accommodations: Cabanas La Luna in Tulum.

Day 2 we woke up bright and early at 6:00AM so we could get started on what turned out to be another long and busy day.  We'd driven the night before from Playa del Carmen to Tulum and were totally exhausted from the long day we'd had so we slept very well.

Our cabana was the "Christopher Columbus"

The new hotel was not really a hotel at all; they were a set of cabanas on the beach.  Ours was small and cozy and right in front so we had a prime view of the ocean from our porch.  These (like most on the beach here) had limited electricity and depended totally on wind power so we felt a little bit like we were experiencing beach living.  We actually were seldom here since we had so much scheduled during the days.

But the beach was very nice in the mornings when we woke up.  The breeze was cool and no one was around . . . since we were up in time we of course made a point to catch sunrise.

Sunrise here was fantastic.

After sunrise we made a quick exit and got in the car to head to Chichen Itza before all the tour buses got there.  We were on a mission to get there by 9:30AM so no breakfast this day.

I let Nathan do the driving :)

The country-side in Quintana Roo (the Mexican state we were in) was nice, although it was mostly jungle and not very country-like by American standards.  There were lots of small towns and craft stands on the way, but no stopping yet, we had to get there first!  

More to come . . .
