Hotel Mon Ami El Remate

... about life. Oh, I suppose I also have not mentioned yet that there is no electricity in the park. This means that all electricity is made by local generators. And to save fuel, these generators – at least at my hotel – only were switched on from 6 – 8 AM and from 6 to 10 PM. That was also the only time of day, where you could get a warm shower. I tucked in shortly after nine, and woke up to the sound of the birds at sunrise. My original plan had been ...

... chose a wise spot for which to cut the heads of people!!<br>Some 5 mins later, Rebecca peered over the top, she who doesnt "trudge" when climbing, <br>had chosen to enjoy the views as they unfolded.<br><br>We sat in the rain, enjoying the view and the feeling for not long enough.. Our decent <br>was made through somwhat wobbly <br>knees into the now sweaty jungle below.<br><br>Barring the repeated sightings of spider monkeys and meerkats (or whatever they were)<br>the other highlight for ...

... all over again. was both tragic yet still amusing. The local boys were playing football in the field across form where we were staying. Slightly different to UK kids as they were using machetes as goal posts. Interesting to say the least. However in time we would get used to the fact that everyone in Guatemala carries machetes like we carry our mobile phones.

As predicted the traveller is a very fickle creature; one minute a hard task manager to please, the next easily pleased. You will be happy to hear my morose phrase is well and truly over.. but thanks for the emails and FB messages of support. Within 24 hours of writing (not publishing) my blog, my whole outlook on Guatemala had dramatically changed as all my expectations were smashed out of the water, I became a kid again; laughed for just being alive and marvelled at the ...

From San Cristobal I traveled back to Palenque to arrange a tour of Bonampak and Yaxchilan on my way to Flores, Guatemala. Bonampak and Yaxchilan are beautiful Mayan cities near the Mexican-Guatemalan border. Nearby are another group of descendands of the Mayans, called Lacandon. They are often refered to as the true Mayans because they were never conquered by the Spanish. However, today they have abandoned many of their ...

... out the two girls are from England and yes, they were together. <br><br>How ironic that as Rasta You Know Who came full force into the room, the Bee Gees' More Than a Woman was playing. Yes, she really is more than a woman to me but she is actually really nice. Sometimes you just can't judge a book by its cover and you are pleasantly surprised when you start reading a few pages. But seriously, when you get back to jolly old England, buy a bra. Please.

... to be good at football, I´m not bad, but these kids were ****. It was fun to watch though and most of the village were there. A horse ran across the pitch from the marshes by the lake, the ball kept going into the marsh and the smallest local kids were sent in to get ity back, and the goalie got a yellow card for having a leak against a tree when the ball went out for a goal kick. Surprisingly Guatemala aren´t even in the World Cup qualifying stages any more. We got ...

... Miriam Brady told us that Miriam s dad got lost in the jungle when he was visiting Tikal and all we could do was think of him trying to survive in the jungle for 10 days. Our guide knew about the Canadian who was lost and how he was found. We do not know how he managed to live. Snakes, spiders, mosquitoes, no water, no food, jaguars! We loved Tikal. It is an amazing place and we can only imagine what it was like 1000 years ago. The ...

... My Irish body isn{t much made for the jungle heat. I guess tomorrow we will head for Tikal--Im pretty excited about that. Sorry about the punctuation on this blog--i{m having a hell of a time finding where the punctuation marks are supposed to be on this keyboard. It{s very different. Anyway, things are going well. I{ll try to keep updated, we obviously have internet here and we{ll be here for a couple days. bye!
