I had it all planned out, as usual. Every connection I had to make to make it from Guatemala to Cancun in time for my flight, and even some leeway in the event that Latin America went all Latin America on me and one of my buses was late or didn't arrive. Things started out well with my first bus being an hour late. Then we ran into a demonstration where all the truck drivers had blocked every exit from a city, protesting the rising gas prices. We drove in maddening circles for a bit then found a super sketchy one lane gravel road that cut through some farm to get out. Arrived in San Cristobal somewhat late, but still made my connection to Palenque. Bus day 1: 630am to 11:30 pm.
Spent the next day in Palenque, and wandered around the ruins of the same name during the morning. My next bus wasn't until 10pm, so I had an afternoon to kill. So I got waxed for the first time in my life becuase a) it was absurdly cheap and b) I was absurdly hairy. Legs, pits, and bikini line. Yeeeeow!!!! $33. 3 hours. Great value, very painful.
Overnight bus to Cancun, 2 hours late. But, I made it, and here I wait until tomorrow morning when my flight leaves at 10am. I spent the afternoon doing absolutely nothing because my beach plans were foiled by clouds and spurradic rain, but I did enjoy my 2 hour nap.
It's been fun, Central America, but I'm OUT!!
