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 fountains, monuments and boating lakes contained within (which have all been coloured luminescent green for some unknown reason) finally finding a little cafe/food stall where we bought a gordita, a quesadilla and a huaracha to share for lunch. After lunch we elected to look round the zoo as it's free to enter as long as you don't want to go into any of the special exhibits. Since it's free entry we wern't really expecting very much from it but were pleasantly surprised as it turned out to be about as large as Washington zoo, with possibly even more types of animals. We were also impressed by how natural all the enclosures looked rather than some of the zoos we've been to where the animals are kept in little more than a cage with a few pieces of wood to amuse themselves. Anyway we spent the next 2 hours looking at the many species of monkeys, birds, deer, bears (although Mae was disappointed that there was no longer a polar bear in it's enclosure), etc.. Eventually at 5pm the zoo closed and security guards came round to kick us out, naturally in a very South American way they insisted that we return the way we had come to get to the exit rather than continue onwards with would have been much shorter. We walked to the metro station through a huge tourist market selling all sorts of things from food to t-shirts and fake tattoos, but most unusual were the fluffy monkeys with long bendy legs, which come in all sorts of colours and are apparently supposed to be worn on your head, (at least this is what the Mexicans did with them!) most odd. We caught the metro from next to the park and went back to La Maraka as we had picked up a flyer previously saying there would be a 2 hour Bachata class tonight. It turns out the flyer was not entirely correct as the lesson ended up being one hour of salsa shines and one of bachata. None the less we thoroughly enjoyed the two classes and went back to the hostel very pleased with the day's happenings. We picked up some bits for dinner on the way back which we ate before finally biting the bullet and booking ourselves a hotel for Puerto Rico, still expensive but at least not a rip off (we absolutely refused to pay $25 each for a dorm bed in a hostel!) After which we showered and went to bed since we needed to be up early-ish the next day.
