The trip was a short backpacking experience. So we stayed 50/50 in cheap hotels and hostels where we shared with random punters.

Started of in Cancun. How fucking chav.

Went from Cancun to Player del Carmen. Rather than getting a piky bus we thought "fuck it" and got a taxi. Player Del Carmen was a nice tourist town. We chilled there for a couple of days.



Went down to Tulum and stayed in a hut with no electricity or running water. Not good. But they did have a nice beach.



Saw Mayan ruins in Coba. It was very hot and humid.



Got an overnight chicken bus down to Belize City, and from there to Cayes Caulker (a small island). The island felt very chilled and was full of backpackers. Did diving despite the lack of Padi. Very scary, and coral wasn't as good as in places like Thailand or Malaysia (though I've only been snorkelling in those places). Hostel in Belize had water that smelled of KFC. We shared the room with a random Dutch chick. The fat Irishman farted early morning and she ran out. Nice.



Went on to Flores in Guatemala. It's a nice little town, with cobbled streets, in the middle of a lake.



Took an early morning tour to Tikal, another place with Mayan ruins. We got up at 3.30am so that we'd be there in time for sunrise. Unfortunately a load of mist descended upon us, so we didn't really see much. Then it started to rain. SMT. They had cute packs of cat sized rodents that ran around in packs. Was very hot and humid.

From Flores, we took a flight to Antigua in Guatemala. It's another cobbled street town arranged in a big grid. Stayed in a hostel, sharing with 6 Danish chicks. They got changed in front of us which was great. But I didn't think it would be polite to take photos for you. The fat Irishman managed to get them out of the room at 6am by farting in his sleep.



Went on a volcano tour. The molten lava was so hot I thought my face was going to get cooked.
