Daytrips to nearby Progreso

During our week at Chicxulub we took several trips to nearby Progreso to buy SIM cards for our phones, withdraw cash, and enjoy the Malecon and beach area.

From Kelowna, BC to Chicxulub, Mexico

It was -20 Celsius on the morning we flew from Kelowna to Vancouver and then on to Mexico City. We arrived at 10:30 pm but by the time we made it through immigration it was 1 am. We stayed at a hotel right at terminal 2, got 4 hours of sleep, and then took the final leg of our flights to Merida, Mexico. Our final destination was Chicxulub on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and the weather was in the low 30s... quite the change!
