Tikal, the serene, the powerful , the spiritual, the scene of thousands of years of hidden treasures. boy what a day we have just had.Tikal is a mayan lost city not lost anymore though , we found it .&00 am start in very hot and humid weather but not raining again ... it has been raining since May stopped yesterday.We walked up and down, through jungle for 5 hours.The sight of these Mayan pyramids was mind blowing to say the least,every time we came out of the jungle .only 20% has been excavated let alone restored.We spotted loads of spider monkeys , birds, leaf cutter ants, argentine ants snakes all sorts of wild life. We climbed up several temples ,scary stuff at times . It is so hard to explain how steep the sides are and when you look down it is at times frightening. We are very lucky to be travelling off season hardly any tourists around. I will let the photos do the talking. Tomorrow we leave to go to Belize after an extremely interesting time in Guatemala.

That is soooo typical Nick! Here we are working our fingers to the bone and you just rub it in!
Sounds great guys! The other weekend I helped Nicole and Rachel out at a wedding at the Gawler Race Course. I was lucky enough to be able to wear your uniform, Gabrielle, since you weren't there :p
