Sixth and seventh stop: Palenque and Playa del Carmen


In the last two steps we have had some problem...everything looked good in the beginning, but it wasn't in the end...we left San Cristobal to Palenque, the idea was to visit the maya ruine. On the way to Palenque we stopped at the Aqua Azul (blue water) waterfalls.

When we hit the place we saw a lot of people in the water, so we decided to have a bath too!!!










We also met a guy, Artemio, that for only 20 pesos (1,5€) offerd himself to watch at the car for all the day...look at the pic and tell me if you don't trust him!!!


Once in palenque we found a nice place in the middle of the jungle and not far from the ruine...and now everything looks good...


From this moment on strats the drama...during the night an heavy tropical rain came and last all the following day, so we couldn't visit the archaeological site. Then we decided to leave and go to Playa del Carmen (two days of relax on the beach).
The next day we went to the beach and we have been in the water all day long...but in the evening we looked at oursefs...we (me and peco) were completly red...from head to feet!!! But Gio wasn't!!!

Yesterday we were supposed to go snorkeling, but we couldn't...we have been all the day in the hotel room. Now we are in Cancun and tomorrow we will leave to go to Chichen Itza.

Agua Azul looks almost surreal.
