Pour notre 1er jour au bord de l'océan, on a décidé d'aller faire un tour en forêt... Un peu déçue par le trip dans la jungle, le chemin est tout tracé et parfois Ana complète la guide. Mais bon la balade est sympa et je sers de repas aux moustiques sauvages! Les parents d'Ana étant partis, on sirote un cocktail dans le jacuzzi en les attendant. On mange du poisson sur une terrasse en pilotis et Nancy prouve par l'expérience que les poissons ont des langues... Je commande un ceviche: crevette...

Well I'll keep this one short as it won't be so pleasant! Basically since the last one, I made dinner..then I barely left my room in Flores since! As night hit so did some horrible buggies in my stomach. Cue much befriending with toilet. Joy! Missed the sunrise trip to the ruins at Tikal. Aww! (But luckily was sick before, one guy was sick en route poor thing) Travelling here to Flores wasn't much joyful either! Me and other sickie sat up front on the wee minibus as we were both "prone to a g...

It's nearly 3am here on the quiet, warm, humid and breezy deck of the ship as we travel from Guatamala to Cozumel where we'll arrive around noon tomorrow. I'm the lone soul up here with a bright moon overhead, sitting on the top deck at the very back of the ship, watching the quiet, white path of waves in our wake maybe 40 meters below. Sipping a little red wine, listening to some quiet music - it's hard to imagine wanting to ever be anywhere else. And if my present surroundings don't inspire...

Today was a somewhat difficult day for the two of us. We woke up super early so that we could go to Rio Dulce, nearby the Caribbean Sea. This river is a hot spot for "yachties" who spend the summer here on their boats to stay away from the hurricanes passing through the Caribbean.
The ride from the highlands took about 5 hours and we went in a very comfortable bus, however, Rachel's stomach has begun to not feel so well. Nevertheless the trip was a very pretty one. Upon arriving in Ri...
Today being our only full day in Rio Dulce we wanted to make the best of it, however with the intense heat and Rachel continuing to not feel up to par we both decided it would be best to take it easy. So we rented a boat with a boatman and took a tour of the river. Part of the river tour included a stop at a fort called Castillo de San Felipe. This was a very interesting building that was created to stop the British pirates from looting the Spanish ships as they came in to port in Guatemala. ...

From Flores, I boarded a minivan some 150km south to Rio Dulce, a small town near Guatemala's short stretch of Caribbean coastline. After departing the bus, I grabbed a boat to take me over the river to my hotel, Hacienda Tijax. This place was great! Small cabañas, connected by duckboarding over the mangroves. After lunch I went on a medicine trail hike with a local character, Robert. This dude was pretty crazy. He told me that he'd crossed illegally into the US twice! The walk was interestin...

... as the first hot, shooting cramp sliced through my stomach. Uh oh. The street food. The heat? Uhhh ohhh. We're one hour into a four hour bus trip. The cramps picked up momentum. I downed 4 Pepto tablets and 2 Immodium and started praying. Now, I'm not a religious person but I prayed to God, Allah, Buddha, sweet baby Jesus, and every other entity I could think of. This can not happen. I tried yoga breathing and started thinking of scenarios, every one worse than ...

... We start thinking about plan B and see a cafeteria acorss the street that has lights on. Good thing, because the office closed and they turned off the lights and the guard heads off into the night on his bicycle and wishes us luck. Thanks! We walk over to the cafe and sit down and drown our sorrows in a beer. We are both miserable and snappy and have no patience to talk to each other because of frustration. We start making Plan C, in case this bus doesnt show up. We can either ...

... stopped on the opposite side of the road. The minibus driver grabbed our bags and the chicken bus guy motioned for us to run across the highway and then pulled us into the back of the old American school bus. I love how there is absolutely no waiting time for connections, just one bus to the next!<br><br>We spent way too long on that bus, I know the old man on the minibus was just trying to help, but it took almost 3 hours for the one hour ride. A man came on selling snow ...

... couple weeks, at least, in Utila. Who knows after that! Maybe to Roatan.<br><br>I have been looking into flights to Panama to see my uncle, btw, but the tickets are so expensive! Might not be an option. The only thing I know is that I'll be bringing home a brand spanking new deep dark tan, and a lot of salt!<br>
