Tikal, city echoes As shown in the previous post triggered a dramatic controversy, so I return back. Not to mistake - written by the Rokec (because I'm sick JST), I got it and read it together and we agreed that it objaviva. Why? Since we do not happen on a journey always beautiful things (no, yes, včinoma time already :-))),... zaideva sometimes be izgubiva other times it rains, too nažiga sunshine, wind, ... then it's time to Bolivia, and similar things. We did not want to worry anyone, since it actually is a matter for us (and no, not nameravava to go on a tubing), we are both happy and healthy (even Rokc who went today to dive in Blue Hole :-)) and somehow grateful that the thing took place as it was.
We also appreciate that we track and that you care about - because it means that you love us :-)))).
To finally start to write a post that falls under this one title, but I'll start with the fact that Tikal was somehow meant to be a highlight of our trip. D-Day to see the mysterious pyramids that were built in the later period of the Maya, thus finally come. Zabookirala we had the bus at 5:00 (about 7 U.S. $ / person), and the next day all zalimana little earlier and get up half an hour later, already clutching at a crowded bus, which was rushing in an hour and a half away Tikal (we were housed in Flores , Los Amigos, about $ 5 per person). Why so early morning hour? The reasons are many ... The first is that in the morning You can see the sunrise, which is said to be fantastic (there's no luck) to have so many people (waking up at 4:30 ?!!!!), that you have all day available to explore, ...
Most of you have already booked a guide, but we somehow MI2 examines proposed is decided in advance that we're not done, and we are very Tikalu decided to priključiva one larger group (by about $ 5 per person). We jumped in a quick coffee and join colleagues from other groups who came from the first bus at 4:30 (Tikal is opened only at 6:00) and found that it started raining. In the hope that it will soon cease, we are together to go to the park and you begin Tikal viewed secrets revealed.
First they were in a range of Temple I and II - that the Temple twins (mostly Mayan pyramids in Tikalu has its twin), which are locairana in Central Plaza. Pyramid, as you probably already know, are not the intended stay, but mostly only the worship of the Gods. Upon arrival at this location, you somehow we could not help but to think how the hell they managed to build a so beautiful and powerful creations, free tools, designed to build in modern times. At the same time that the construction account, or seasons. they have built structures to help determine agricultural periods (position sun).
Temple I was kind of trademark of Guatemala - was seen in various commercials, films, ... even on the plate (do not know whether the whole or only in Guatemala, Flores island, where we noticed). As it is currently being renovated (due to heavy rains in the current rainy season), we both climbed against the Rokcem Templu II. Climbing was not very pleasant because it is raining in between, steep stairs were slippery, so we were all more slowly. From Temple II is visible the entire Central Plaza (or the central market), where they sometimes played the game (sort of rugby).
followed a trip to Temple III, which we see only from afar, it is prohibited to climb on it (due to some accidents at that) and Temple IV, which is the highest Mayan temple (if I am correct measured 70m in height). The view from Temple IV is amazing, sorry we are, have resin with the weather, but there were some high pyramids still visible.
Since it is still raining heavily, we are instead against Templu V, to go to the lost world of Oz. Mundo Perdido. Why exactly a lost world, I do not know (I checked on the Internet), but probably there is some connection with astronomy. Since the short time between the rain stopped, we quickly resolved to templu V, where he climbed on the adrenaline Rokc stairs (in fact, almost a ladder) to top, while it I prefer to remain on solid ground, because I was being heavily degraded.
time was already 11:00, guide drove us back to the central market and left us, that we are a little raizkovali environment-what we have to re-MI2 rains and my bad mood, soon closed. We rushed to the bus (that would be caught at 12:30 am) and we had luck that we got one back seats.
stroking the pain and weakness has meant one thing: the poisoning of food or drink - maybe because I drank too much of the river, or because I'm one day early for dinner to eat raw vegetables ... oh well not even matter.
Komej I waited we were all soaked came back to the hostel, went to bed and in the evening, however, decided it was best to stay yet another day in Flores. This was going to move in Belize for a day - along with Dominic and we have yet another price the day to say goodbye ... Jst I mostly rested, packaged in the evening until it was time to go back on the road. I was feeling worse again (perhaps because I slept very little), but we decided it was time to go in the warm Belize.
farewell to me and Dominic, who unfortunately had to go back to Utilo, misva and we boarded a bus full of uncomfortable Dutch giants (this surprised us fact, how can both suck at basketball ;-)) and headed towards Belize City. Driving was despair - it was hot, bad air, dirt road, full of high-lying cops ... Not to mention that we often stop to the driver what to eat, drink, anything to add on the roof and finally ... rukzakov lost some that were strapped to the roof. The result: We miss the water taxi to Caye Caulkerja, mini island near Belize City, and we had to wait for the next nearly three hours. The malaise is a great pain - but I was nice and Rokc crkljal, so the matter was more tolerable. At 1:30 we finally boarded the fast boat to the island and 45 minutes later we were already the sand and the sand scorching sončku ... Sentiment has improved at the time, even better was when we're hungry stomach filled with lobster and chickens in a great sauce.
Rokc has yet zabookiral diving in Blue Hole, JST, I have great sleep and even wrote a quick blog to me so happens tomorrow, wake up.
Post's probably what a lot we will not write because we tuki Lenar few days, then it odpravljava back to Mexico in Playa del Carmen, where we spent the last days of leave ... before they see you again ... Another week.
