Tikal

It was an early morning for us today. Our sunrise tour started at 4:15 AM. At about 4 AM the howler monkeys started roring. We put on our head lamps and walked to the main lodge where we met our guide Chino. The lodge was suppose to make us breakfast to go but something got lost in translation and they weren't made. We walked into the jungle in the dark to temple IV. This temple had a set of wooden stairs going to a platform near the top. We sat there for about an hour and watched the sun come up. Then we followed our guide to a bunch more temples. We went back to the lodge for breakfast. We went swimming and took a nap before packing up and going to San Ignagco, Belize. We took the private shuttle from the lodge to the border. The driver stopped at a gift shop so that we could look around. At the border we went back through Guatemala customs then through Belize customs. The first cab we got in tried to rip us off saying it would cost $30 US so we got out and walked back to the taxi stand and took another one for $15 US. We were dropped of at our hotel, Hotel Midis. We went into town and booked a trip to ATM for the next day. We also checked out two other hotels in town because the one we were staying in was expensive. We found one for a lot less and booked it for the next night. Back at the hotel we went for a swim and then took a nap and went to dinner at Hodes.
