alone  / 2009

From Belize to Flores, Guatemala by tourist bus. Dinner with Mexican tourist.
We met again in Tikal ruins the day after.

Many tourist bus from Flores to Tikal. 
Leaving early morning is better because we can see wild animals and birds in jangle.

5:00 am is the earliest bus. I used 6:00 am bus. about 80 minutes.
Breakfast in Tikal. 

Pyramids are located on the hill of jangle with some stairs.
I asked the workers how can I go to Pyramids. They told me to use Social Service Bus.
Free shuttle bus service for elder person and physically impairment. Great !!!

Yes, I can come to Pyramid !!!
Impossible to come here by myself.  Hilly and bumpy roads.

Many pyramids and ruins in Tikal. I walked around some area. 
Between Grand plaza and 4th Tempo, wheelchair can be walked. Not so bumpy road. Enjoy jungle trekking.

Late lunch after Tikal with Mexican tourist. He hired a boat and we went to an island of lake.
Peaceful, quiet, nice view.

Fish BBQ. One fisherman cooked it on the beach. 

Until fish cooking, we ate deer meat, famous Flores local food.

Nice sunset. Mexican tourist gave me the all food and beer. Thanks so much. 

Airplane to Guatemala city from Flores. It cost not cheap, but very useful.
Both airports are new. Accessible toilet, ramp, and service.

Direct shuttle bus for tourist to Antigua from Guatemala city airport. 10 US$. 40 minutes.
Only 3 passengers is OK. Taxi is 25 US$. 

Old capital Antigua is not kind for wheelchairs. Antique stone road and hilly. Impossible to go around by wheelchair.
Many many foreign tourists and hotels.
