Flores, Peten Flores, Guatemala, 502-7926-0508
Days 5-14 Caye Caulker, Belize - Flores, Guatemala
Haven't done the blog for a while as not had internet in hostal's we've been staying in or it's really slow. Our last couple of days in Belize were nice, went scuba diving and got to 19 metres, there wasn't that much to see though in the bit where we were diving, there was lots of coral but the colours were not that impressive nor were the fish, a little dissapointing but this was my first proper dive and it's incredible to be that far do...
Just arrived in Flores and got checked into our hotel. Booked a trip to Tikal for tomorrow. Should be great I will write more tomorrow. Tikal was fantastic, it was off the beaten trail. Once you get there you are walking on trails through the jungle from pyrimids to mounds to temples towering into the sky. We climbed several of the towers and I took lots of pictures. I actually filled my memory card while I was there and had a very difficult time trying to get all the pictures onto a computer...
Flores, Guatemala geologist4sailElsa and Lars and I woke up this morning and tried to make it up to the park for sunrise, but missed it by a few minutes. It was pretty enough though, and it was nice to get up there early in order to see some more of the animals. I'm not really very good at spotting birds, but I'm getting pretty into it, and Lars is good, which makes up for my lack :) After the morning walk on the hill, we headed back down and ate breakfast with Jeffrey and Mary, and then took showers and napped for a while ...
Flores, Guatemala mferri3... Starwars films the decision was made and we set off for Flores. Stupidly I had the bright idea of getting an overnight coach so we arrived in Flores at 5am after no sleep and traumatised after watching 8 hours of sadistic coach drivers overtaking on hairpin bends all night.<br><br>Our room was a treehouse. It had two sort of full walls, and two waist high walls with curtains which didn't stop wildlife (thankfully just a curious cat) jumping through and landing on ...
Flores, Guatemala twinkfran... me. I reached the top still holding onto the rope and climbed over the rocks into the river above. It was nerve wracking because if you did let go or your hands slipped you would crash down on unforgiving rocks below, but at the same time totally exhilarating. I reached the top thinking I had lost a contact lens, thankfully it had just moved but was still there and proud of myself that I didn’t take the safe option of the ladder. Onwards we went deeper into ...
Flores, Guatemala hess... point under a roof we watched one particular young lady emerge from the jungle and she was a sight to behold in her bright clownsuit. Now I don't want to offend any lesbian readers with what name befitting such a jewel of a female someone came up with. So I offer up any apologies upfront here if I do offend. <br><br>Picture it...white female, late 20s, about 5'10", 190, torpedo titties that hung down by her waist and dreadlocks that were just ...
Flores, Guatemala atlpilot36... almuerzo allí. Después mas fotos, fuimos Flores, Flores es un ciudad en un isla. Muchos personas que visite Tikal dormir en Flores. Nosotros cenamos en Flores y festejar en los clubes, también tomamos muchos margaritas. Nos dormimos a la 2 en la mañana.
Tikal National Park, Guatemala davis16... all else fails they do sell snacks around the park.<br><br>* Bring some footwear that's comfortable to walk in. Flip flops didn't quite cut it for me. <br><br>* Give yourself 2/3 hours to explore, and remember if you miss the midday bus home, there isn't another for two hours. Alternatively you can pay one of the waiting drivers to get back to Flores if you can spare the cash.<br><br>Kieran Maartens,<br>www.mexicotravelplan.co.uk
Flores, Guatemala kieran_maartens... time wouldn't allow for me to go with them as I had to head to Mexico to meet Chris. I took the local bus for 8Q to Santa Elena which took around an hour and a half and then took a 5 minute taxi ride to Flores for 10Q (the taxi driver saw me coming!!) I checked in to the Hostel Los Amigos which was the first Guatemalan hostel I stayed in with dorms. The dorm I was in cost 40Q for the night and had 10 beds, but noone else was in when I got there. The hostel ...
Flores, Guatemala cat2222... ppe have opdaget den overbegroede bygning. Pyramiderne i Tikal var for mig ydermere interessante, fordi de mindede meget om Chichén Itzá på Yucatan. De har en tilsvarende opbygning med ni afsatser i hjørnerne og en trappe op ad pyramidefladen. Det ser også ud til at den har en tilsvarende nord-syd orientering, som den på Chichén Itzá. Bliv ikke forbavset, hvis man her en dag opdager at pyramiden her også har haft en astronomisk funktion og betydning.
