After breakfast I took advantage of the break in the weather to finally see the nearby ruins of Palenque. It was pretty quiet up there, I just wandered around on my own, happily snapping away.

When I got back I changed accommodation to the Jungle Lodge. There was no difference in price to Rakshitas but at least the rooms were well screened. That evening I met up with Angel again, a English woman I had chatted to briefly in San Cristobal. She was just about to get a bus to Northern Yucatan but I guessed I might meet her again in Belize or further. She left me to entertain a girl called Amy and we had a few beers and watched the drums and fireshow while waiting for the rain to stop. We waited for quite a few beers :)
