Another day, another bus. Today we took the bus to palenque. Whew! 6.5 hours...delayed because of MASSIVE road works and so hungry i could eat my arm. Still watched 2 episodes of outrageous fortune on the bus so not toooo bad. Thought we would be able to buy lunch on the go, buit the 2 stops were just full of chocolate and chips. even too much for me. Luckily had 2 AWESOME muffins and some 'nanas to keep us (sort of) going.
Arrived palenque and took a taxi to an out of town place called El Panchan...its this...community of backpacker places in the jungle. I tell den, you can tell its jungle by the vines. You can also tll its jungle when you wake up to screaming monkeys in the night,...
found a wee cabin and thank christ we got our own bthroom else i would have wet the bed avoiding th trip outside to th shared bathroom to avoid the monkeys and god knows what else. never send me into the amazon! i'm not a hero!
Anyways our room was comfy and apart from some FLUSHING issues very good price. Part of jungle palace...not really a palace! We gorged on beer and pizza and HEAVEN, garlic bread. Nice to have some home-y food.
