On to Flores and Tikal

Day 4
Another easy drive through Guatemala to Flores. Passed a couple of Police checks and military posts along the way, got stopped 3 times in total but no problems.

Arrived at Los Amigos in Flores and managed to bags a double bed with shared bath for $25 US a night. A very popular place to stay, it was full by the end of the afternoon with mainly backpackers.

We were entertained by the resident cat, rabbit, parrot and sausage dog, who kept trying to escape every time the door was opened.

The next day we went to Tikal for a day trip. Enjoyed a 3 hour wander around the amazing Mayan structures and climbed to the heights of the tallest pyramid.

Returned to Flores for a quiet drink and meal on the waterfront.

By now, our front bumperguard was detaching itself so we had a quick stop at a local welder. He did a brilliant job and I'm sure no matter how many tumulos, it will survive.
