Palenque, Mexico

We arrived In Palenque and it is still steaming, its so humid, we have to have the fan on all night and then we're still sweating!

The place of Palenque isnt that amazing but seem to enjoy having festivals in the main square on a saturday night. The ruins only a short distance from the town are amazing. Again like Tikal they are set in the Jungle but not quite as mystical as Tikal. The ruins here are pretty impressive but was much busier than Tikal, maybe as it was free to Mexicans on Sunday!

Headed off to an amazing set of Wtaerfalls near Palenque and enjoyed playing around in the water to cool down, just a little concerned by the police presence nearby so decided to get a taxi to the place. Met a nice couple from germany who gave us a lift back to Palenque.

Next we're off to San Christobal
