A day in the Mayan ruins
Early start from the eco lodge to get on the minibus out of Belize. We crossed the border to get into Guatemala and travelled the couple of hours to Tikal, world-famous Mayan ruins site.

10 days in Guatemala!
... it anyway for the views. I felt pretty sick but was determined to do it and it was so worth it. A local dog accompanied us and the guide cooked marshmallows over the steam vents.
