Just arrived in Campeche and hiked about an hour looking for a cheap room.
There are 3 or 4 small hotels across from the bus station that are way overpriced for what they are. I'm pretty sure they're set up for hourly prostitution use. I was going to stay in the cheapest of these but the girl refused to let me see the room first. That's usually a bad sign. ;)
There's a bus for Palenque just after midnight. I may haul my backpack onto the city bus and try my luck downtown. If that craps out, maybe I'll just keep moving. It's a beautiful day but VERY hot & humid to be hiking around with a backpack.
Would sure like to see something other than the industrial/commercial area around the bus station, but at the same time I refuse to price gouged for a skank room that has nothing going for it but being close to the bus station & available by the hour. ;)
