Tikal

The day is long when it starts at 4:00am you drive an hour, fly an hour, and drive another hour only to hike/climb for four hours up and down some of the most amazing architecture mixed with astronomical significance. All done without IPhones Kaleigh pointed out. Our guide was Eddy who was a PhD archeological student who really knew his stuff. We not only saw the ruins but some crocodiles, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, falcons, leaf-cutter ants, and raccoon like creatures. We toured with. A German/Vietnamese girl and her friend from Sweden. What's nice Bout the small group is that we are not this huge intimidating mass and get to meet many travelers from around the world. Now we are in Flores. The hotel is pretty crappy but the rack rate is only $20. The showers are hot, there's free Internet and breakfast is included. It's like camping I told them.
