Our first post on Guatemala!
Flores, a small island in the northern area of Guatemala was our first stop in what turned out to be an absolutely amazing country. It was here that we had some down time (believe it or not, a holiday like this can get tiring!) and also ventured out to Tikal to see some incredible jungle ruins.
You can tell that we had started to step outside of the comfort zone when we accepted a local's offer to hold a tarantula that he plucked from a nearby tree. It wasn't as bad as you would think because we've come to learn that the bigger & scarier looking the animal / insect is, the more harmless it is. In this area, you have to be careful of the small, cute looking animals!
Back at Flores we had some chillout time, enjoying the lake views and cute cafes & restaurants. A little touristy, but perfect for what we were after!
