Copan

Today we went to the ruins in Copan.

They were absolutely incredible and the area is called the Paris of the Mayan Empire due to the detailed 3D art everywhere.

The area was home to around 30,000 Mayans including the royal family of the area. We were able to see the small stadium where they played a ball game (the captain of the winning team was sacrificed) and stand where the king would have addressed his people.

We all got attacked by midges and mosquitos while we were there so after a healthy dose of bug spray we went for a walk and some lunch.

After lunch we all just had some quiet time before a bit of a shop and dinner. A few of us went to a bar that shows films and watched 'The Drop' (it's terrible) before heading to bed as we have a big travel day tomorrow!
