After an early departure from Villerhermosa we were feeling pretty good. We were back on track for the rally time-wise, now we just needed to find a few challenges to try and pick up some points. Just down the road a bit is Palenque, a ruins site I wanted to visit even before I found out it was a rally challenge. We found our way to it, declined all the offers for guides, charms, guarding our car, washing our car, and translation services. A short walk past the entrance and we were greeted by some spectacular ruins, this was the best yet!
I oogled and took photos while Cara followed, it was warm but we were digging all these old rocks. These weren't as old as the Olmac ruins we saw before, but they were still dating back to 600 AD.
We grabbed a couple Tamales in the parking lot and were back on the road by 1pm, headed for Escarcage for the night. We were there by 3pm, which was great, but the town didn't offer anything interesting. We decided to push through to Bacalar instead of stopping early, and were in town by 7pm. We wandered around the town square and found some dinner, then went out in search for the campsite. We found it by 8:30 or so, and were pleased to find the Dangerz already camping here. We socialized for a while between bug bites until finally calling it a night.
