Island in the sun!!

Hi! I made it to Flores! The bus only broke down one time. My seat on the second bus was broken to my advantage in a reclined position and I slept quite well. It was pretty awesome too that I chose the bus full of some local 13 year olds on a school band trip. When the bus broke down some guy on the street sold them all beer so that added to my entertainment. I´ve had worse traveling experiences, really.

The little city of Flores is so sweet, it´s on a little island in the middle of a lake. I have a trip booked into the jungle tomorrow for 4am so lets just hope I wake up! I am looking so forward to seeing the ruins, not to mention the monkeys. Today has been pretty lazy, took a hammock nap for a few hours this morning and then had a nice swim off the dock. It´s incredibly hot and humid here, you mostly have a swampy butt all the time. I love the jungle!!

Well this post is mostly to inform you that I am safe and happy. My hostel is nice with lots of good people from all over the world. It´s a beautiful sunny evening right now and I am about to go have some dinner with a lake view. Can´t wait for the Tikal trip tomorrow, pictures to come!! Hope all is well at home!
