since the travel day to now





we sadly we have not been updating the blog for a while. But even sadder is the fact we still arent for another 4 days. currently we are sat at the only computer in monkey bay packing bags ready to start our rainfo0rest trek at 7 tommorrow morning.

since the travel day to flores from coban we have done a variety of things as some of the pictures will show. we did 2 days at ARCAS the wildlife rescue centre and everyone had a great time and got to see the animals and even better we saw a actual jaguar.

we left there for tikal were we spent 2 days veiwing the lovely mayan ruins. we got up at 4 for on the second morning to watch the sunrise from the biggest temple there it was an amazing sight and we are all glad we got to do this to.

we then crossed the border into belize this was eventful as you had to sign out of guatemala to be able to sign into belize. but luckily none of the bags were searched which most people were worried about due to it taking a little while to repack them.

from tikal we have travelled to monkey bay were we trek with our bouynacy aid and helmets due to high rivers as it is rainy season.

everyone is looking forward to doing this and it will be one of the best experiances of the whole trip.

Excellent blog Britney, photos very good especially the group one.
Steve where's the sun tan? Hope the rivers weren't too deep and that the bouyancy aids didn't come into play. Enjoy the jungle and get some R & R - you are all looking good.
