Waking up early and getting on another bus up to El Remate (our gateway to Tikal) was not a nice prospect, however it had to be done!! The bus journey took around another 8 hours and upon arrival in El Remate all I wanted to do was sleep. That night there were some serious thunder and lightning storms and I have never heard rain like it!! Incredible amounts of water coming down.

Upon dumping our bags we set out around the town which was a little holis...
