Chichen Izta (chicken pizza). Christy made reservations for us at a 3 1/2 star hotel. When we got there, it had been overbooked, so they put us up at their "other" hotel the Maya Land 5 star hotel, which is located at the edge of the ruins. Such beautiful grounds and what an historical place. It was totally awesome. Of course, we took the scenic route to get to Chichen Iza, so that we could experience it better. Dave & Irma had upgraded to a mini-van so that we did not have to get two different cars and have to try to "find" each other when we went places together, plus a ton of other reasons (like a $3000.00 deposit on the car, plus insurance, plus this, plus that & all of the mandatory things that they do not mention online when you are booking the reservations
We went through every little community and town. It took us about two and a half hours to get there via the toll road. About the last 45 minutes was through small villages. In each village, and actually everywhere in Mexico, if they don't have the money for stop lights or stop signs, they just put in speed bumps - but it is not like ANY speed bump you might experience here in the U.S. You literally have to come to a stop or it will demolish your car. Anyway, we had a great time, toured the ruins, listened to the night show on the grounds and really enjoyed the hotel. The next day, we kind of missed a turn to get to the toll road and we ended up going through EVERY little village and fifteen million speed bumps, so, our plan to get back to Cancun in the daylight and NOT BE in the middle of the jungle and on a small road after dark - did not quite work out for us. We definitely breathed a sigh of relief when we got back to civilization and Cancun. We kept envisioning banditoes and being pulled over on a foreign desolate country roads and remembering all of the warnings that everyone gave us before we left the states.
