Maxted Travels, Wallowing in the Maya. An archaeological journey through Guatemala, Honduras and southern Mexico. Sunday 27th January 2008, Palenque, Mexico. Last night was spent in a wooden lodge with no glass at the windows and a roof made of palm fronds. It was sited along the jungle banks that edge the Rio de la Passion. Despite having no hot water and only brief periods of power from its own generator, we spent quite a luxurious night there. Our transport and boatman, Ceibal. Supper together, Ceibal.
