Even though it was only 4 hours from Lake Atitlan to Antigua the shuttle ride made it feel worse than a 15 hour bus ride. It was a little shuttle and I was on a small, hard fold out seat at the very front in between the driver and passenger seat. Extremely ... Read more >

Getting to where I am (Antigua, Guatemala) was a rough start. I don´t want to get into it, but between car troubles and lost taxi drivers I hope all my bad luck was used up back in the states. I was picked up at the airport last night by a driver ... Read more >

It was a culture shock to return to Cancun after 3.5 weeks in Cuba but lovely to see Tamara before she returned to Australia. Finally went to the beach which is really an amazing ... Read more >

Guatemala
After our family time in Mexico, we head south into our next country, Guatemala. The border crossing is a hassle. Local men wanting to change money at dodgy exchange rates, confusion with the exit fees out of Mexico. Do we pay ... Read more >

As I type, I am sitting in an internet cafe in Oruro, Bolivia. It is cold as hell, and the altitude is around 3700m, but I think coming here was definitely a great idea. Backing up a bit, I spent most of the last week at Lago de Atitlan in Guatemala.... Read more >

Having been stuck in Copan for 6 days waiting for my eternally delayed DHL package, I am finally out of Honduras and merrily typing away in an Internet cafe in Antigua. I spent most of the last week sleeping in, reading and drinking beer in Copan as ... Read more >

Thinking the evening climb of an active volcano sounded like a doddle could possibly be the biggest misjudgement I’ve ever made. Guatemala’s Volcano Pacaya is an ominous but twice daily visited natural wonder in a town called Antigua, that would ... Read more >

After crossing the border into Guatemala we jumped on a bus heading towards the capital. The ride took longer than expected because we had to wait two hours in a small town to pick up new passengers. This meant we had all sorts of opportunities to ... Read more >

My relaxing weekend was just that. I hadn’t realized that I had been going nonstop for two weeks, and hadn’t slept past 7A in all that time. The next week was pretty uneventful. It was filled with Spanish class. I decided to go on a trip ... Read more >

Another tourist micro bus, another long journey south to Antigua. This time the bad road bit was at the start, so we were able to enjoy the fantastic views whilst not minding the banging around. Our driver was of the ´there´s no speed except ... Read more >
