Evening on Lake Peten Itza Since most projects until 14 January opened again, we had a week "holidays". So we went last Monday to spontaneously travel agency and booked a trip to the North. With the night bus it was about 12 hours after El Remate on Lake Peten Itza. Travelling in a police wanted the men to see our passports, we had but for technical reasons, no theft here. So we had to leave the bus for a short time looking into the fierce and disappointed faces of the policemen, and were then blamed Make Sens paper down again.
A boy was fishing his supper from the lake! In addition there was still water snails!
went on Wednesday morning at 04.00 clock we bus to Tikal, an ancient Maya site in the middle of the rainforest. It would be really a "sunrise tour" was, we would have but can sleep well, because it was fog. It was very impressive to see all the zoo animals to time in nature. Howler monkeys, toucans, coati, parrots, spiders .... with the mimosa, a funny plant, which closes with each contact immediately, we were able to play a little. (They are really saying is not only to the children!) After dark, appeared on the field for dead, the fireflies that sparkle with your lantern to be able to mate. This seems to work even as hundreds of them buzzing around.

We wanted to Coban. With the buses but this is such a thing. We wanted to re-direct, convenient bus from Flores to Coban, booked him and looked forward to a short, pleasant trip. The bus turned out to be in about one-hour delayed arrival as a chicken bus (camioneta) which stops at every corner, now intend to find out just anyone. Thus, the 230 km was added to a seven-hour ordeal, (average speed: about 33 km \\ h) whose effects are still felt in the Gesaessknochen. (Still, thank God we had seats!!)

The desire for a fondue vanished abruptly when we saw these ready mix! (See Packing: de queso Suizo, Swiss cheese!)
are in the proximity of Coban is famous pool, Semuc Champey and almost 100km long and branched stalactite cave, the Lanquin -crutas. We had a 100% Adventure-Day, as we were only six of our guide went to the line, but he himself probably a little overrated. The water from the main river basins are unterspuehlt, at the end of the pool we had to jump 7 meters in depth, scrambled upstream to the underground tunnel next to the roaring flood on slippery rocks ..... Then again by cable and rope ladder. In the second part of the visit of the caves, the first 400m had been lit, then it went on with flashlights. In the caves there are hundreds of bats that make piles of shit, about which we then had to go. It was disgusting, but still interesting and dangerous. The guide was more than animator guide, but it all went off lightly over, gracias a dios!

seen Physiologically we are a little hit, and we push the "flu-Chaeber" back and forth, is probably due to the stressful program together. But otherwise we can go well's us, and look to each other. We hope for all of you, which you can also from time to relax!
