And now the final group of shots from the cruise. The ship docked at Cozumel, and some of us went on the excursion to Tulum, some small Mayan ruins along the coastline about an hour or so away. It was a rainy day, but the storm held off for most of the time.

The photoset itself, with 23 photos, is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/telophase/sets/72157594372375909/

A few pics are under here:

This is the ship docked next to us. My lens was having problems with fogging over in the humidity, but Photoshop managed tot ake care of most of that.



The photographers and people dressed as Maya that lurked outside the entrance to the ship - these are lurking outside the ship next to us. They leapt upon you and posed and took a picture of you if you weren't quick enough to avoid them. For those of you who haven't been on a cruise, they take many, many photos and then try to sell them to you under the guise of memories of your fun time, although your memories mostly end up being of dodging the photographers.



It was very, very soggy at Tulum. Our feet were soaked. My lens was still fogging up a little when I took this pic, but after that its temperature equalized with the outside and it stopped.



Ruins rising majestically over the surrounding jungle...



...and tourists.



One of the buildings, dramatically silhouetted against the sky.



The site is on a small cliff overlookign the shore. I was tired and headachy and bitchy, and sat down on a rock and took photos while Toby poked around the clifftop. BUt I got the best photos of the trip here, I think.









And one last shot of a building.



I've got a ton of photos of Tulum, but a lot of them are either "Gosh, more jungle" or "Gosh, more rocks," so I haven't bothered to upload them. :)
