Hello everyone, Just had a great morning at the Tikal ruins here in Guatemala. Got up at 2.30 am to get the bus at 3.30 am in hope to catch the sunrise at the ruins. Was initially a little disappointed as by the time we arrived the sun had already started to rise and it was quite misty so photos arent amazingly beautiful! But spent a good few hours wandering around all the temples set in the middle of the jungle and climbing thousands of stairs to get good view...

so.... quick update coming from the depths of the jungle, only a few miles from the Guatemala border! we have such a good day lined up tommorw! jen and bacca are going caving for the day and alice and anna are going kayaking up a river, hiking and other such malarkies! we spent two amazing nights in placencia, managing to fit in chilling on the beach rather nicely in our day and still have time to chill on the beach :P felll asleep in the hammock in the evening...

Greetings everyone from this tiny Caribbean Island full of sunshine and reggae music!! Having a very chilled back time here so far, and enjoying the lobster fest - had some for dinner last night and it was very yummy man!! Came on a plate looking exactely like it does in the wild only with a slit all the way down its tummy! Had fun playing with the legs and trying to pick out every last bit of meat!!! Going on a snorkeling trip today, have been told we may see ...

well...... so much have we done since last sending a message from yonder!rnAn eventful overnight bus took us to the delightful city of Tuxtla, which infact was not that delightful but in fact just another city..... however it lead us to the natural wonder if the Sumidero Canyon. rnIn the heat of the midday sun, we decided to brave a fast and somewhat furious boat trip with a whole bunch of excited mexicans on holiday.rnafter cramming ourselves into a row of seats...

heya we are all well and good now :D went surfing yesterday! oh yeah we rocked :P moving on today to Tuxtla tonight on a overnight bus which will be exciting :S hopefully not as smelly as the last one! lots of love from us all see yous all later xxx
