Zu unmenschlicher Zeit nach Knallerei in der Nacht sind wir aufgestanden, um um 6.00h auf der Strasse frierend auf unseren Abholdienst zu warten - der sich mal locker 20 min verspaetet hat... Nunja, endlich aus der Stadt raus (obwohl ich die jetzt schon vermisse) und in Richtung Palenque gefahren. Unterwegs haben wir an den Sehenswuerdigkeiten Halt gemacht. Der erste Stop war der riesige Wasserfall Agua Azul. Wegen der Regenzeit war dieser zwar so gar nicht "azul", aber trotzdem noch sehr bee...

3 days in Palenque, Mexico

Palenque in Chiapas was my last stop before leaving Mexico.  Hanging out in the town of Palenque was pretty pointless.  Nice people all around, but not much of a city.  It seemed to exist mainly because of the Palenque ruins, which is fine because they are extraordinary.  They are tucked away in the jungle a short ride outside of town.  Here were/are some of the best looking ruins in all of Mexico, and they are in the best shape of the ones I saw.  We spent the e...
