We found out the night before we left hopkins that there was only one boat that goes to Honduras from Belize and we had just missed it! So we had to change our plans, which led us back to Guatemala and a place called Rio Dulce. We started the journey from Hopkins on a school bus at 7am with a song about Barack Obama, which was surprisingly catchy. It took a couple of boat journeys and about 8 hrs to get to Rio dulce but it was quite a nice. The second boat journ...

From Lanquin, we made our way to a pleasant little island of a town called Flores, giving us just enough time to have a walk around and eat some food. We spent one night before hitting the Mayan temples at Tikal the following day. Imagine Tikal, a large site with huge, impressive Mayan temples, surrounded by tropical jungle, buzzing with all kinds of tropical birds, and monkeys and wild cats (although we didnt see any cats sadly :(...).....it was a pretty cool d...

We were both not impressed about staying there so we ended ...

It has loads of beautiful parks and cathedrals and the streets are all cobblestone (which makes for interesting bus journeys). On the first day we spent most of it getting to know the area and enjoying the amazing weather here. We found an amazing place to eat for lunch, which gave us soup, lemonade and a meal o...
