At the other end of the scale our Daughter is half way through her trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. She is taking a tour this time with G Adventures. the trip is their Mayan Sun tour which is a 16 day trip from Playa Del Carmen in Mexico to Antigua in Guatemala with some very nice stops in between. She spent a few days on Caye Caulker Island off the coast of Belize where she seemed to be having a great time, or so she thinks, eating ridiculous amounts of lobster and snorkeling with Sharks, Sting rays, Turtles and Manatees!! The second day they were going kayaking in the morning and hiring a golf buggy in the afternoon for a tour, apparently they are used instead of cars.
Day 8 found them in Tikal in Guatemala where they visited Mayan ruins. The last message, hopefully not, they were in a jungle lodge, there were Tarantulas everywhere, in every bedroom. All the girls on the trip decided to evacuate spider rooms and share one room after getting the guide to check and clear it. This is a girl who had to seek a hypnotist to cure her of a fear of spiders before she went on her first overseas trip, think it worked. Should be in Antigua now.
Her other half, has arrived in Africa after a "ropey" flight although arrived on time. He then decided to take the plane to Kilimanjaro which he said was a good choice as the views were unreal. He has now joined the party and should be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro as I write and hoping to get to the top, all 19,341 feet of it, on his Birthday Saturday 8th September. See his web page for the full story. Still needs more sponsors.
Anybody thinking about the next school holiday, already, can still find some interesting breaks on our website.
