Lowergroen plantegroei, bietjie meer berge as die dele wat ons in Mexico gery het. Die plantegroei is egter iets besonders. Dit is 'n kruis tussen die Laeveld, Natal, Knysna en 'n tropiese tuin in 'n kwekery. Baie besonders. Ons was weer bevoorreg om die Tikal ruines (ook 'n Mayan ruine) te besoek. Dit is groter en meer impossant as die Chechen Itza ruines, alhoewel nie in so goeie bewaarde toestand a.g.v. die verweer van die sagte kalksteen (limestone) Ongelooflik om dit te sien en dit is mensgemaak...of nie?
We stayed over at this amazing place called 'El Remate' surrounded by a beautiful lake with primitive people still using horses for transport. The Guatamala people comes over as humble people. Tomorrow we're planning to visit the Del Fiego volcano...still active!
Just for interest sake, we pay anything between R75 to R110 per night for accommodation. At Tulum, campsite we paid R45 for our 'stand on the beach' Ok, its not Southern Sun style, but its still dead cheap...if one takes out the hot water issue!
Hou ook maar in gedagte....geen Wi-Fi...geen blog. So alhoewel ons julle op hoogte wil hou soos ons gaan is konneksie ens maar 'n probleem.

Yeah,the best part of Mexico was definitely the west coast thru Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco/
But you're quite right Guatemala is spectacular!!Try to see Lake Atitlan if it's en route (let me know if u do as i have a great place to stay there).
You guys should also try to see ANTIGUA,just north of Guatemala city,and COPAN RUINS which is situated virtually right on the border crossing into Honduras.
Then ,when you go thru Nicaragua,also just north of (before)the border crossing into Costa Rica,is OMETEPE island .It's an awesome volcanic island reached via a tiny ferry where the people live quite primitively and with great dirt roads running right around the huge perimeter.
Made my Nicaragua leg of the trip and there are very nice,reasonable places to stay for around $6on the island.
If you like Guatemala you're going to love Costa Rica!!!
Ride safe/Tony
oh,forgot to mention OMETEPE island is situated in Lake Nicaragua and the ferry takes just an hour or so.
That cost of hosteleria was $6/night by the way (looked a bit like $60 on blog)
Julle dit lyk regtig amazing!! Geniet dit maar terwyl ons ander die land aan die gang hou!! Henry jy kort 'n skeermes en 'n tan.. jy lyk maar bleek tussen die ander manne hoor! Geniet dit baie - ek is jaloers..
Hi Tony thanks for all the suggestions. We will definitely do at least a few of those that you have suggested. Will keep you posted. Regards The Amigos
