Valentine's day in Flores

After our early rise to see sunrise in Tikal, we decided to have a mellow day in Flores. In the morning we wandered around the small town and had a nice lunch, then we chartered a boat for a tour. (O.K. we wandered to the local jetty to ask a bloke to take us for an hour trip around the lake.) We had a bit of a Spanish lesson thrown in for free as he explained to us about the lake, the towns and the crocodiles.

At one point he told us that the bit of the lake we were in was very good for swimming. I required no second bidding.

After some more lazing, reading and swimming, we wandered through town looking for a nice meal. Eventually we returned to the lovely 'La Luna' (where we had eaten the night before) for a nice meal. Flores was pleasantly thin on the "Valentine's Day" promotional stuff, it was very nice.
