When we finally arrived in Flores and disembarked off the Nazi bus we were feeling lazy so decided it best to squeeze all three of us and our giant bags into a tuk tuk to take on the cobbled hills of Flores. Considering Alex and I are rather tall and Adie is tall in character and wide in shoulders this made for our first adventure in Flores! With …

Belize is expensive. Hence us trying to get out of there fast! Austin and Dan Bernal, I know you guys warned us... We left at 9:30 on a direct bus to Flores, Guatemala. It was comparable to prices for local transport, but it was direct and hassle free. We crossed into Guatemala without any problems and got to Flores in the afternoon. Flores is a …

Crossed the border into Guatemala without too much trouble. We had been warned previously of scams when crossing borders throughout Central America. We think we may have had an attempt towards us to rip us off when an official tried to charge us more money than what we expected. We had no cash on us in any currency so she huffily stamped our …

Also erstmal Rueckblick:

17/7 5am We were woken by the bus driver at literally the break of dawn to travel to Tikal, morale was low due to the time of day and last nights crack. The bus journey was horribley loud and bumpy like most things on this trip everyone was ****** off and worn out. The sun was just rising when we arrived at the site, we decided to sack off the tour …

In order to accurately track our trip, I need to do an entry for Flores/Tikal . So here it is ...

We went to Tikal .

Our journey from Semuc Champey was under much better conditions than the one we arrived in. The bus was older, but had a ton more leg room, so immediately more comfortable and the bus was full, but everyone knew each other relatively well now from either the bus ride in or time spent in Semuc, so the atmosphere was very good. Despite of this, the …

After a lot of shuttle buses in a short time I decided to skip the 10 hour bus ride to Flores and take an in-country flight to Tikal. This involved getting picked up at 4am for a 1 hour bus ride to the airport but it was definitely worth it since the flight took less than an hour.

After arriving in Flores there was another 45 …

So the thing to do in Flores is to go to Tikal and apparently the thing to do is to get there for a sunrise so that your there when the jungle wakes up and you can watch the sun rise over the giant temples.

So we did this, problem was the bus home wasnt until lunch time. The only thing to do there was look at temples, no caves nothing, …

Well, today was amazing! I will get a good sleep tonight, because we have been on the go all day! I wouldn't trade it for a minute, though!

We got up fairly early and after a wonderful breakfast headed to Tikal National Park (or as Greg called it "Tickle" National Park). On our way there, Rick explained to us that the park is a legally …
