Arrived in San Cristobal at 5:30am but no room for us at the hostel we went to, so left our things there and went for a walk around town. Gorgeous little mountain town, nice and cool, green hills all around and loads of churches and little squares. After breakfast donated our spare bread to some hungry dogs and a homeless man, looks like we might have to carry spare food with us all the time. . .
Headed through an extremely poor part of town to the Mayan Medicine Museum, gave explanations on all sorts of Mayan tricks, including a video of a woman giving birth Mayan style and how a live chicken is used to aid the birth, (I saw it on video but still have no idea how rubbing a chicken - or an axe for that matter - over the woman's body helps for a quicker birth!).
Decided we were done with San Cristobal and jumped straight on a bus for Palenque.
