We were up for our free breakfast once more and after another couple of hours trying to find a reasonably priced place to stay in Puerto Rico, with no success, we decided to go out and have a look at Chapultapec Park. It was only a short distance and easily walk-able although we ended up halfway round it before we found an entrance. The park is huge, the biggest inner city park in central America, so we spent the next hour walking round looking at the various fou...

Our bus arrived only 1 hour late and after sorting our bags we bought tickets for the Metro in order to get back to the hostel we had stayed at previously albeit a day earlier than planned. Originally we had thought to go to Oaxaca on the way back from Palenke for a few days, but we had liked it so much in our little paradise that we stayed longer than planned, plus it would have cost us a lot more in bus journeys.

Since we didn't need to catch the bus until 6:30 that evening we decided that there would be time for a quick swim in the pool before lunch which consisted of our left over cake from yesterday.

So instead we sat and had a coffee at the on site restaurant and caught up ...

Misol-Ha Waterfalls We had a bit of a lie in today only stirring from our beds just after 9. We were soon dressed and caught a collectivo into town. Whilst on the plane from Lima to Flauderdale Mae had been informed that she MUST try the 'Huevos Rancheros' whilst in Mexico and so we decided that we would do this today. We found a little cafe where we got a set breakfast of eggs, Mae had Rancheros which was a flour tortilla covered in refried black beans then...
