A break and the sunset

A break......the Jungle Lodge is a great place to stay...it is in the park, but outside where you enter...nice rooms, no bathroom in our part, but nice bath house and toilets in a separate building.  And it has a pool!!!  ( we are paying around $48 a night split between us.)

It is great to soak in the pool and feels wonderful on our feet and legs! Re-energized we go back up to the main plaza, first to climb Temple II.  Most of the people are gone now.

Climbing the pyramids and temples have damaged the stones so they are building stairs up the back of some.

What a view from up here.

But we want to find a higher place to view the sunset!  Just hoping for a sunset.....you can never be sure and I am not sure how much more I can climb.

But it was worth climbing up here!  And I can see Temple IV where yesterday we sat by that sealed door.

My legs are tired and wobbly so I make my way down the steep stairs on my butt.

In the tropics when the sun goes down it gets dark quickly so we want start making our way out of the park.  We brought little flashlights, but as night desends they don't give off much light and it is dark, dark, dark!! For a while we can hear some people behind us, but suddenly we realize they aren't there and we are alone.  We walk at least 1/2 hour hoping the little road we are on will take us out of the jungle.  Finally we can hear voices and our road merges with another where there are 4 people.  No longer alone the last 10 minutes go quickly!! Another great day!!
