Tikal Temples

Spent a very hot day visiting the ruins in the morning. By 11:30am it was a sweltering 38 degrees. Hot hot hot!
Our tour guide, Sofit left us again to do I don’t know what, whilst Reyes took us around the pyramids. We heard howler monkeys again which was really cool. To be honest I can’t remember much of what he said about the temples! And once you’ve seen one, you’ve probably seen them all. That said, it was really special stepping foot on the same soil the Mayans built these impressive linestone structures.

We had lunch and a swim in the lake (found out after there were alligators in there!). Then onto San Ignacio in Belize. Carly thought because we had to show our passport at Tikal, that we were crossing the border already....!

We stayed tonight in a small town just across the Belizean border. We had takeout - meatballs, cocunt rice and beans. Was yum! We sat by the pool and carly entertained us with her card trick!Læs mere
