More Mayan Magic - Blogabond

We made it to Tikal. A four hour bus to Guatemala city from Santa Ana and an eight hour overnight bus to Flores got us in at five this morning. We booked a ride to Tikal for six and after breakfast we were checking out the ruins by 8:30am.
They are as amazing as Palenque only there are a lot more ruins and the big temple are huge. The tallest one is about 65 metres high, siffice to say we did a lot of climbing. I took us five hours to hike through the ruins and we could have spend much longer there if we were really going to explore everthing.
Now that We´ve done Tikal it´s off to Chichén Itzá for the last leg of our ruins travels. It will be another long travel day that starts at six tomorrow morning and ends at possibly ends at Chetumal 12 hours later. We´re not sure if we will stay there tomorrow night or move on up the coast a bit.

We´ll try to get some pics post while we are in Mexico. Internet seemed much better there.
