Saw a sign for a waterfall and went straight for it. It was a very hot sweaty day, so a swim was needed. No one else was really there but us. Jumping in the water felt great. Some of the locals there just stared at us for a long time while we were getting dressed and back on the bikes.
We made it to Palenque and found a room with 3 beds again. W have the good luck. After getting some ice cream i was locked out of the room for a few hours while they wandered around the town looking for a bar. It just so happens the happening bar was next to our hotel. So when they got back i showered and we went down for a few beers. After a few beers and a 4.5 liter pitcher of beer the night ended late.
We all slept in and then headed to some more waterfalls after breakfast. Brian wussed out after the first one and went back to the room. Me and Colom headed off to see Agua Azul. It was defiantly worth it going the extra 60 miles. We weren't keeping track off the time so we were stuck driving curvy Mexican roads in the dark. Not fun.
Before hitting the road again, me and Colom checked out the ruins in Palanque. Very cool and worth a visit. They are right in the midst of the jungle and somewhat large in size. It's hot out again so we were sweating a lot walking round the ruins. We looked like to sweaty gringos for sure.
In the end we put on bout 300 mile after leaving Palanque and ended up in Chetumal on the border for Belize. It rained for about 30 minutes then stopped so a good ride. The rain was like natural air conditioning, it cooled me off a bit. Next stop Belize.
