A long night

After a long day of exploring the ruins of Tikal, it was time to return to Flores, pack our bags and wait for our transfer to the overnight bus to Guatamala City.  No cumfy bed tonight!!! Just the fold out bus seat as we make our way across Guatamala to our next stop.  It certainly was a long night, made even longer by the rustling of plastic bags by an elderly couple sitting across from us!!.   We managed a few cat naps along the way and finally arrived into Guatamala city in the early hours of the morning.

 A very bleary eyed group of travellers stumbled off the bus, grabbed thier backpacks and shuffled through the crowds of taxi drivers, hawkers etc to the small shuttle bus that would take us through to Antigua.  The trip was about an hour, so it wasn't too long and we were bumping along the cobbled streets past all the brightly painted house to our hotel in Antigua.  I think I am going to enjoying visiting this town, especially after I have had some breakfast and a bit of a cat nap.
