October 5 San Cristobal to Palenque

Today we travelled a long way in our bus, through very green and mountainous countryside. Most of the trip was very slow, particularly with the high road humps across the road in every small village or settlement. Travelled about 220 km in 5.5 hours.
On the way we stopped at a very beautiful waterfall with blue water cascading some hundreds of feet in different separate falls. Three separate small rivers meet at this point, and with the recent rain the flow was very strong. We have not seen such a beautiful waterfall anywhere. Had lunch there, partaking of a delicious grilled fish caught in the river and cooked to perfection.
We have now reached Palenque and tomorrow we visit and explore the old Mayo ruins.
We may not have access to a computer for two days, but will try.
It is really good to receive comments from those of you who have responded to our entries.
