This was my very first cruise, so I was both
excited and hesitant about it. As it turned out
it was a wonderful trip. Carnival is a party
ship, and I could have done with a bit more
peace and quiet and a little less party,
but the food was good, and
the trip was smooth. Over all I had a
wonderful time!

The tourist area as we come ashore.
We hired a tour guide here and then
took off on an adventure of seeing
what the island was about.
As we drove along the edge of the surf
I took many photographs of the beaches
through the window. VERY few of them
turned out...but this one looks ok.
Our first stop was at the free beach
It was hard not to just stop and spend
the day relaxing here! BUT...we wanted
to see the island, so after a brief stay
we drove away from this paradise to
see the rest of the island.
This area is where the main Mayan
ruin is located. Evidently, there hasn't
been a major dig here.
El Cedral Chapel was built next to,
and on, a ruin of a small Mayan community

Our guide took us on a tour of the beaches
along the north eastern edge of the island
I could have sat here all day just watching
those turquoise waves come ashore.
Our guide took us to the Mayan ruin of
San Gervasio. It was once a major city
and religious center of the Mayans.
This is the road that crossed the island.
There was an archway entrance on each
side of the city.

As we returned to our ship it looked
like a jewel sitting on turquoise water.

peace, beauty and mystery of the horizon.
The sunset on our last evening was so
beautiful I couldn't stop photographing it!
A perfect ending to a wonderful cruise.
