Tikal... a Mayan jungle ruin

I loved this place... I knew it was going to be a highlight when I was planning this holiday, and it didn't disappoint... the jungle was incredible, it had taken over the city and except for the excavation work you wouldn't have known it was even there.

We climbed to the top of Temple IV and looked out across the jungle to other temples which popped up through the tree, listening to the sounds of howler monkeys and watching the mist lift...

Sam's face when he realised that I had volunteered him for the human sacrifice...
