Waking up in the hammicas was truly amazing and relaxing, despite trying to get back into them after a midnight bathroom run. We made a pot of coffee and hungout (no pun intended) for a while. deciding to get our day underway we had a wonderful breakfast at the restaurant at Mayabell consisting of omletts and a fruit plate and jugo de naranja. Satisfied we jumped on one bike to the ruins of Palenque, pictures say more than a thousand words.
After throwing the frizbee and seeing the sights we went back to Mayabell, packed up and headed down highway 199 to Frontera Echeverria, a long road at the foot of some giant hills, it was warm and beautiful with a nice breeze from the bikes.
After turning off of the main road heading east we desended five hundred meters through a winding revene, that was surprizingly cold. Finally arriving at the gate to the ecotouresum community of Frontera Echeverria (Corozal).
We drove to the river that we are crossing tomorrow, found a place to pitch our tent and then rode down to the river to find a launcha to take us accross in morning.
After laughing at the first guys proposall of 200 pesos per person and bike we looked around asking other launchas what they would charge to carry dose personas y dose motos. Our finnal price quote from another launcha was 150 pesos for dose personas y dose motos. It pays to ask around and find a great and accureate price, tomorrow I would not be surprized to get both us and our motos across for 100 pesos, though 150 pesos is a wonderful price we would be happy to pay.
