Been a while - in Mexico now...
Since last blog - we travelled south through belize (hitting the beaches again!) and hired bikes at one point. In a place called Dangriga we met a guy called Bob who was a tailor - Kossy and Luke gave him some money to make some clothes for them and we never saw him again. We went round to his house and he wasnt there - someone told us he was at his uncles house - then when we went back again they said he was in guatemala.... We then did a cool boat journey along the rio dulce river, before saying goodbye to Luke and Claire and heading to Coban - saw places called Semuc Champey (big river that goes underground with loads of incredible pools on top - i climbed down and up a waterfall holding on to a rope - was quite scary but im still alive) and Grutas de Lanquin (massive cave system which is not all explored or mapped - loads and loads of bats). We were in a rubbish minivan which got stuck on a big hill on the way to the caves so aftyer 2 hours of pushing and pulling using a big rope we gave up - had to walk to a nearby hostel and all cram into 1 minivan - was quite cosy... Watched Dodgeball on a TV in the hostel!
Then we had an epic day travel to get to Mexico to a place called San Cristobal de Las Casas and chilled there for a day - really nice town, lots of culture. Then headed up north to the ruins of Palenque which were cool - we are in Palenque town now. Got an overnight bus tonight to Playa Del Carmen which should be fun (sarcasm).
Generally there is lots of sweatyness and smellyness so looking forward to hitting up the beach at Playa del Carmen - the beaches are gorgeous check it out on google.
Will probably blog again at some point.
God Bless
