We went on a day trip to the impressive Chichén Itzá which has been one of the new wonders of the world since 2007. There was a lot of stuff about human sacrifices which the Mayans regarded as an honour. The prize for the winners of the traditional ball game was to be beheaded and families aspired for their babies to be born on the equinoxes so that their child could be bought up and prepared to be sacrificed by having their heart ripped out and offered up to the gods.
We also went swimming in a couple of Cenotes which are big pools of fresh water formed deep in rock caves, awesome! Olive swam in both Cenotes which was super brave. It was Charl’s birthday and she went on a zip-line course as well which looked too scary for me.
