We always wanted to see a wild crocodile this trip - we hoped we'd get the chance in Australia, but no luck. So we were pretty pleased when we bumped into this lovely specimen in a lake near Coba ruins! Evil eyes... Below you can see the two pyramids in Coba - the one on the right is surrounded by trees is in the central complex and too fragile to climb, but you could scale the pyramid inthe left photo for amazing views over the jungle. Well, we had no problems. But if you look at the photo carefully everyone except Gary is in trouble! Lots of them are sliding down a step at a time on thier bottoms... pathetic?!
Tulum Maya ruins have a gorgeous location on the sea shore... and fantastic reptilian inhabitants. This iguana was a small specimen, but he was quite happy to pose with me for a photo on the cliff top.
His big brother was quite willing to be photographed too! This one must have been nearly 2m long, and had an impressive range of spines down his back.
The lovely beach of Tulum ruins, with some Maya remains perched on the cliffs, and Gary basking in the sun. No lizards about this time!
And after a very hard day of rapid walking to see lots of lizards and Maya ruins, our hotel had some very relaxing options for the evening!
