An early 6 am start to the morning with our tour to Valladolid.
We wanted to see some of the not so touristy Mexico, if that is possible.
First stop was the quieter seaside town of Puerto Morelos. This would have been a nice spot to spend a couple of days away from the hustle and bustle of tourist Cancun. Maybe next time.
Then inland to the very local village of Leona Vicario. It was great to finally see some real Mexico. Apparently tourist do not often come here, we may have stood out slightly.
Stopped for a fresh tortilla at a local tortilla bakery and then a little walk around the town.
Continued our trip on a local road passing lots of old traditional Mayan towns.
Next stop, the bigger City of Valladolid. Still filled with tourist but mostly a local Mexican town. By this time it was getting quite hot. Stopped at an old monastery and then a small walk around downtown. Traditional Spanish style town with a large piazza surrounded by a beautiful church.
Back via the jungle freeway, not much to see on either side, just thick jungle. Most of us managed a snooze.
Early dinner and then back to our room for our last night.
