From the beautiful Belice Cayes I hopped on a rickety old bus with no AC and headed back to Guatemala. The mission, to check out the northern lowlands. So I crossed the border and made a bee-line for Flores. A beautiful little town on a small island on lake Peten Itza. The plan, along with my fellow backpacker friend "Shane the Aussie", was to find a nice Hostel and set up camp for a week and do some more Spanish Study. And long story short, that`s what we did.
It was the perfect spot to relax and focus on learning a bit more of the lingo. All in all a great week. Days were filled with study, laying in hammocks sweating in the boiling heat, swimming in the strangely warm lake, watching documentaries, chatting to locals about stuff and chatting to fellow travellers about their adventures. As always when studying, the week flew by, so now i`m en-route back up to Mexico to catch a plane to Vegas for Will & Lyd`s Wedding next week - via a selection of beautiful beaches and towns to enjoy the World Cup in.
