I woke up at 4.30am to get on the bus at 5.00am. We got picked up and started to drive to Tikal. We entered the national park and started to walk towards the Gran Plaza. When we got there I raced up Temple II. I had an amazing view of Temple I. I turned my head around a looked out to the untouched jungle and saw three toucans. But they flew away before I got a picture. We then walked to Temple III. It was still mostly covered in trees and stuff. We then ventured further in to the untouched jungle. Temple IV suddenly loomed above us! We climbed to the top of the 64.4m pyramid. The view was truly breathtaking. You could see the tops of the other Temples towering above the jungle canopy. We moved on to Temple V. It was mostly covered with trees and stuff so was Temple VI.
After the others left dad and I. We continued walking to all the other Temples and tombs. I was amazed on hw well the Mayan kept their time, because they build a twin temple every 20 years.
After a massive day at the office I was stuffed so I had a swim in the lake!!
