Travel Day

Today was a big travel day. We left Hotel Atitlan at 8.30 am and drove to Guatamala City, where we had lunch.
Lunch was in a very up market restaurant in Guatamala City, near the airport. Both Peter and I had a traditional Guatamalan lunch. Peter had a traditional seafood soup made with bananas, coconut juice and heaps of seafood. He really enjoyed it.
I had a dish called Jocan. It was delicious! It was made with grilled chicken in a rich green sauce of pureed coriander and tomato; Delicious!
The International Airport at Quatamala City had only four shops; a Macdonalds; a Subway, a Pollo Campero (a local franchise chain of deep fried chicken and chips) and a coffee bar. We had a four hour wait here.
We were collected in Flores from the Maya International Airport and taken to Jungle Lodge, Tikal. It was dark by the time we arrived at the national park, so we were hoping to see a jaguar - no such luck! But we did see a grey fix, possum and agoote.
The hotel grounds were in complete darkness when we arrived, so we had no idea how beautiful it was!
