Palenque, Aqua Azul and Chiapa de Corzo

This is the downside of not having internet every where e, now i have to write loads!
Ok, 12hours in the bus.. didnt really sleep a lot, but it was ok. Arrived in Palenque at four in the morning. Dont wurry, didnt go wondering of to find a hostel. Just took a cab and asked him. So after a three hour sleep, i was ready to go to the ruins of palenque. In the bus going there i met a mexican guy and girl, and they asked if i wanted to join them. There were really nice, he spoke a little bit of english, she didnt. But we managed to have some communication. We had a lot of fun, especially with me falling all the time. After a while they started counting it. (in the end i won with 8 against 4 and 5). Palenque was amazing, to my opinion, nicer then Coba and Tulum. If its better then Chitzen Itza, i still have to find out, but i think so. Since me and Ernesto and Yesenia were getting along fine, they asked me if i wanted to join them camping. (there were bagpacking for a week) Since i didnt have any stuff to camp and i allready paid for my room in the hotel i was doubting, but they convinced me. I was really touched actually because it was Yesenia that was pushing me, although we dont understand each other at all.


















So we got back to town, took my stuff and went to Aqua Azul, witch are waterfalls.



They were amazing! We put up the tent, went swimming, had some empanadas, and made a walk to the waterfalls. Sleeping was horrible, because we only had a blanket to sleep on, but it was ok for one night. I was actually godsmacked about the hospitality of these people. No problem sharing there thent, sleeping bag and food with me. That this trip was gonna be really basic i new, the luxury here is what i see outside and the people i meet.



































































It rained al night, so in the morning we had to wait untill the tent was dry. Then we took off to Chiapa de Corzu, a town i fell in love with. A really mexican town, were all the people live on the street and where there is musica everywhere. We looked for a hostel and then went for a walk.





There is a lot going on in this town. There was music in the park, in our hostel. We bought some vodka and it was really funny how we reacted on it. Yesenia started to cry for her boyfriend, Ernesto started to talk and talk and talk till i had a headache, and i just laughed with the situation:-)
