Our 3am taxi pick-up had us to the airport in Guatemala City by 4am to catch a 6am flight from GUA to Flores, a small beautiful town on the edge of Lago Peten Itza with a 500m causeway connecting it to the mainland. We however made our way to the "peaceful, slow rambling" town of El Ramate, opting for a one night stay on the edge of the lake while cutting the journey to Tikal in half. Unfortunately, the guide book led us astray and the town was, shall we say, slow. Too slow. Most of the shops were boarded up, and only a few restaurants remained open. The weather was bad, and brought back bad memories of Ometepe in Nicaragua. We couldn't wait for the bus the next morning to take us to Tikal.
Of note, Amber is still a killer cribbage player and continues to beat me even after I started enforcing "muggins"...
¡Ciao!
