Today was a day to take in the ancient site of Palenque. I had visited the ruins a few years ago, which you can read here - Mexico travelogue . There seemed to be more tourists here than last time, but little could detract from the beauty of the place. Rather than write a huge paragraph about it, I'll let the photos do the talking...

The last few days have been quite spectacular in terms of landscape, friendship and culture - great stuff. And so, from here, I need to cycle two days to the border with Guatemala, and then another two or three days until I reach Tikal.Until next time !! .....
