Got up early this morning to get organized to see the small town of Chamula to check out a market that is only held on Sundays; I munched down all te free fruit from the guesthouse I could manage (especially after 48 hours of being sick of not really eating) and we set off.
We found a cheap taxi to get there that only set us back 20 pesos each.
The four of us (Edwin, Manu (German), Amelia (Aussie) and myself) wondered around the market squre where my camera, again, fucked up… I spend a little while eating luch trying to fix it but only made it worse.
We then paid 20 pesos to get into a church that was only open on Sundays where Christian missionaries tried to convert the town folk which they succeeded although apparently the locals only still discretely worshiped their Mayan gods hidden under the alter.
The church floor was covered in pine leaves making it very slippery and the hall was filled with smoke, I was expecting people to fall over on the pine leaves for a bit of a laugh but unfortunately it never happened.
We were going to go see a cave but we cave up on that idea because it seemed too difficult to get to.
Later back at the guesthouse I cooked some lunch and managed to fix my camera using the spare parts from Edwins broken camera; it honestly has been 10 times ive managed to fix my camera and so I was happy to get it working again.
We then booked our bus tickets to Palenque where on the walk back I bumped into the Swedish girls I met in Puerto Escondido.
After a few drinks at our guesthouse we left with our packs and went to the hostel where the Swedish girls were staying… we got very drunk before boarding the bus to make our way to Palenque.
This is where my camera broke down :( this is Amelia
Everythings over exposed
