Another easy ride from Chichen Itza to Cancun, I followed the Libre (free) road not the Cuota (toll road), hardly any traffic, roadworks most of the way, Valladolid one big town, 200k’s and 3 hours later arrived at the metropolis, blue skies, warm weather, still very humid, beautiful. The city itself does not have the charm of the older places, there are no old buildings or forts or anything historical. Went for a ride down the strip which looks like a narrow island just off the coast connected to the mainland at both ends, 20km of hotels and resorts, quite an amazing site and the Mayan Riveria extends for 140km down the coast.
