Well the jippy tummy I spoke of in Tikal turned out to be full blown food poisoning! I spent all that night over the toilet and you don't want to know the rest!! So I didn't get to see the ruins or any Jaguars... the boys went off on their own. They didn't see any Jaguars either haha! Still sick as a dog I went with the boys the next day to Coban, a town half way between Tikal and Antigua. I didn't really feel up to the journey but it was a better...

Hola, After a few days of enjoying some laid back garifuna vibes (!!) in Belize we have today arrived in Tikal, Guatemala. Karl, Paul, Chris and I are staying in the jungle close to the ruins. We're going to be at the ruins at 5am tomorrow to see the sunrise and hopefully as many beasties as possible! Maybe even a Jaguar!!

I needed a bit of familiarity and people to muck about with! We spent the afternoon on the beach and body surfed in the waves... this was fun until I got smacked down under the water by a particularly big wave, banged my head and hip and sniffed up so much salty water it stung like a b****** for abo...

Palenque ruins are beautiful and fascinating. My whole experience of staying in Palenque I didn´t much enjoy but it turned out to be a good learning experience for my traveling as a whole. The modern town of Palenque is a bit of a dump and I had heard that it was nicer to stay in one of the many campsites which offer hammocks and cabañas on the road to the ruins... particularly an area called El Panchan... the book also recommended to stay here...
