After a return trip to Dzitya for Doug and Janine to pick up a few souvenirs for back home, we drove over to Dzibilchaltún to visit the mayan ruins and museum there.

At the entrance to Z.A. Dzibilchaltún

Had an enjoyable lunch in the restaurant on site.

Heading for the museum

Many interesting statues have been displayed outside the musem.

First glimpse of the Temple of the Dolls.

My favourite view of the temple.

It is aligned for the sunrise and sunset at the equinoxes.

Some of the detailed work on the exterior.

Heading back to the Sacbe (white road) to walk to the cenote.

Part of the main auditorium area.

At Cenote Xlakah

The water was clean, clear and warm.

We weren't alone, but it certainly wasn't overcrowded. — We weren’t alone, but it certainly wasn’t overcrowded.

What a great way to cool off after the hot walk.

At the main entrance, change rooms and shopping area.

On our way back home, we took a short detour from the main road to drive through Chicxulub Pueblo.

Just loved this tree in the square!

That’s all for today!

The next few blogs will highlight our visit to ‘Tres Haciendas’!

Cheers!

Love to all,
