Hotel Sun Breeze El Remate

... a restaurant and saw the locals at evening service at the church. We also saw some of the other locals taking part in a slightly different kind of Sunday worship, propping up the bar in a wooden shack. Every time one of them tried to walk they would fall over and have to just lie on the floor until attempting to get up again to repeat exactly the same ...

... gesehen und auch ansonsten recht viel Wildlife und vor allem gehört. Gegen Mittag wurde es dann auch voll im Park. Int**essant ist, das sie noch nicht mal alles freigelegt haben, da sind noch ne ganze menge Hügel wo noch Pyramiden unt** sind, die sie **st nach und nach freilegen. Eine Tour mit Guide habe ich nicht gemacht, mach ich beim nächstem mal, mit 62.<br><br>Allgemein Guatemala:<br>Sup** grün und schön, viele Menschen die noch unt** einfachsten V**h ...

... nursing hangovers, we arrived in Antigua, population 45,000, but a virtual metropolis after the tiny town of San Pedro.<br><br><br><br> (Now remember, we lost our camera - and all our photos from Antigua - somewhere on the overland trip between Honduras and Mexico, just after we left Guatemala, so you'll just have to make do with some leftover ones from San Pedro and a few we stole ...

... see it all by walking around back and for free!<br><br>- Iglesia y Convento de la Recoleccion (30 quetzals). The largest and most rambling of the ruins. Completely unrestored. There´s a nice shaded lawn to sit and relax. Great to climb, explore and generally be nosy.<br><br>- Iglesia de San Francisco (unknown). The catedral is definitely worth a visit but we couldn´t get into the ruins. The guard closed up 20 minutes before closing. If you go, go early!<br><br ...

... off Flores, which was pretty but dull, and headed to El Remate, a sleepy small village halfway between Flores and the ruins at Tikal. We found the "hippy hangout hostel" as the lonely planet call it, the Sak Luk, where we got a room in the roof of a small hut, basically just a palm shelter over two beds. It was lovely though and cheap and the owner Erwin was cool. We watched a local football match as it was Sunday afternoon and there was nothing else to do. I don´t ever ...

... hike, but also glad to be finished with all our limbs intact! Chad's 30th birthday was far from a drunken fiesta. We hung out in hammocks overlooking the volcano, did some laundry, and went out for a nice dinner. We shared a "meat feast" at a local steakhouse that offered a sizzling plate of steak, chicken, ribs, sausage, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, and veggies for about $25 Canadian. Then we shared a bottle of wine on ...

... the group decided to mission up there as fast as possible to make sure we were there for sunset! We'd started the walk at 3 and it was already getting near 6 so we just blasted up as fast as we could, over taking some other groups on the way. The final stretch to the top was a proper clamber. Having to sort or run up like a dog or a goat would, but when we reached the top and the spots from in front of my eyes and the dizzy feeling in my head had ...

... the sunset was beautiful, there supposedly were alligators, thank heavens no mosquitoes and the boat did not go straight. We were praying that the lights on the other side of the lake did not go out as often happens. After 2 hours, we finally made it and put the experience down as another adventure. The man kindly refunded our money. The next morning we got up at 5 am to catch a shuttle to Tikal. WOW. What a place. A month ago John ...

... lodge was fun in Belize, now we are in more of a hostel kind of place, one room for the five of us, but we have our own bathroom which is nice. It smells a bit of soap, but is clean and nice. Lars and Elsa and I took a hike in this park place near our hotel, and it was cool. The animals all seemed to be pretty scared off by the people around, but we did manage to see one parrot. I got ridiculously hot and dehydrated ...
