Okay, now we are totally ruined out for a while! But we are glad we saved the best til last...well, until we see the next set of ruins...they are bloody everywhere over here!! Tikal was by far the most amazing. We thought Palenque was like a lost city...this still is a lost city! Only 20% …

There is no noise on earth than I hate more then the sound of an alarm clock. Man, it's early!! Janene's phone goes off at 3:30am and it is pitch black out. Also, the power is out again. Grrreeeaaat.... As I roll out of bed, I realize where I am and its not so bad. Today is the day that we check …

So apparently the big thing to do here is check out Tikal at sunrise, so of course we had to experience it for ourselves!  One catch though, we had to get up extra early to do so . . . 3:30 am!  Then on top of that, our guide expected us to hike through the forest in the dark, until we re…

Not sure where this one's gonna lead.

On Friday 06 June we set off at the crack of dawn - that being 5am for me to get to Tikal.

I was only in the market and at the Mayan Ruins right across the Belizean/Guatemalan border. The temples were huge and amazing! To try to imagine life back when these were created blows my mind! This is not the true name of the city! I can't remember the name so i picked one!

Tikal is one of the largest and most beautiful archaeological sites and urban centers of the Maya civilization. It is located in the archaeological region of Petén. It is off course one of the highlights of Guatemala. Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilizat…

Decidedly happy to be done with my third year of medical school, I decided it was time to get back on the international travel scene. I only had 10 days, and my trip was rushed, but I managed to hit a few of the highlights that this amazing country has to offer. Enjoy!!

It started with an under water video project on sailing yacht ALDEBARAN in Belize and it went on with travelling through this beautiful country with my lovely friend Gwen. The pictures are telling my story ...
