Day 168: Playa del Carmen to Chetumal and the ruins at Chacchoben

On Sunday morning, Tim and Marisa met us at our apartment, packed and ready to hit the road. After we loaded our bike, the four of us said good-bye to Playa del Carmen and headed towards the Belizean border. The plan was to visit the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben on our way, stop in Chetumal […]

Days 159 – 167: New year, new horizons
