I Figured when the tour said Self Drive?
Day 2 of my 17 Day Cruise was my first (and last) guided tour on my cruise. I mean the brochure didn't say it was guided. It said self drive tour, and so how could I help myself but drive off to get a Fat Cuban
Pretty Sure Cozumel's San Gervasio Ruins were a tour time filler
Leaving the the Jeep rental shop in Cozumel I should have realized that the shipboard tour which was advertised as "self drive" wasn't exactly as advertised when everyone was paired off. Okay full disclosure here: I was cruising alone and most people on board were already coupled off, and I did really like Julie the ship's gift shop manager who'd decided to solo on the tour, and so it was fine that we were paired up and I was the designated driver.
It only took me until the first ruins (okay the only significant ruins) on Cozumel, San Gervasio for me to start to figure out that our stop here on the "self guided" Jeep Tour was a short time filler for something which lay ahead, and what lay ahead?
When compared to other mayan ruins in Mexico? San Gervasio is unimpressive, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't pay them a visit
Beyond the San Gervasio Ruins is the Cozumel Lighthouse

All's Fair on a Self Driven Jeep Tour until You tell me I can't Drive By Myself and you take me to a snorkel tour where I can't Swim after I eat, and you don't tell me this until after I've eaten?
Perhaps if you'd told me I would be treated like a five year old before I scarfed down the buffet and wouldn't be allowed to swim for 20 minutes? I didn't need a massage in between. I had already seen the local roadside palapa and thought it was a good bet for finding coveted Cubans on the drive in. You know the local who was't getting a kickback from your tour where I wanted to shop before you made us your captives.
