The Lock!The Lock!
The Lock!

Self Explanatory.
Had some troubles uploading pictures for our first entry but here they are.

We have since left Belize, spending our last night in a tree house in San Ignacio. We were the only guests staying at the hostel and got lots of information about Belize over the amazing home cooked meal from the owner. We have since made our way into Guatemala. So far, it is a great country. Lots of nice people, cheap food and booze, and the greenest countryside I've ever seen. We were up early this morning and went for sunrise at Tikal, Guatemala's best and most famous ruins- and rightly so. It ws amazing being there before all the tourists. I think we saw maybe 5 people while wondering around the site. The screaming howler monkies kept us company while we watched the ruins poke out from the clouded sunrise.
enjoy the photos
