Aqua Azul was just full of very brown waterfalls. Didn't think anybody would like to swim there but the mexicans did. Didn't see anybody dip their head in the water though...

Mizul Ha on the other hand was really beautiful and I would've loved to swim under that waterfall but couldn't... We had only 30 minutes there.

A few hours later we arrived at Palenque. Palenque is considered to be the most beautifully conceived of the Mayan city-states and one of the loveliest archaeological sites in the world. And yes, it was amazing! I liked this a little more than Teotihuacan because this was more mysterious. It was nestled amidst steep and thickly forested hills.

I could hear Axl Rose screaming "Do you know where we are???? We're in the jungle babyyyyy". It was exhausting wandering in that tropical heat. Christoffer didn't even wipe the sun block off this time :)

Later on at the bus station in Palenque we were waiting for a bus to Merida. I was starting to feel more sick and had no energy at all.

Christoffer said that I should take a tablet of fluid replacement. The water bottle had a too narrow neck to just drop the tablet inside so he put the tablet on top of it and as he smashed it with on finger he accidentally got a piece in his eye.

The piece of tablet started to bubble in his eye! I laughed. He cried. We rinsed his eye instantly with clean water and soon the eye was fully recovered!

Amor y paz amigos!
