Flores

After a very stressful journey across the Guatemalan border, we arrived in Flores, a pretty little town on an island in Lago Petén Itzá. In fact we stayed on the peninsula called San Miguel, which is a five minute lancha ride over the lake, in Hostel Chaltunha. From there we took a day trip to Tikal... yet more Mayan ruins.

The boat ride that was part of our border crossing

Lunch in Flores

We climbed to the top of Templo IV, where you could see 100km of jungle. I had a panorama shot of this, but alas it is stuck on the corrupted SD card.

LOVE THESE RUINS YEAH WOOOOO

First monkey!
