Guatemala here we come!

Ruins and Chocolate Cake

Volcanology
... spanish-styled tiled roofs. It's also choc-a-block full of spanish students from all over the world. It's unlike any other town in guatemala - pretty clean and well-maintained - i suppose it's how you would imagine a guatemalan town to be if it was run by ...

Antigua
Tracy and I had fun in Antigua, even though it was a bit difficult not to get turned around. The layout of town is a typical grid system. They're pretty easy to figure out, right? Well not if the streets arent all marked and ever block looks exactly the ...

Antigua
Spent an easy couple of days in this touristy town. It has been modified to make it safer. They created a tourism bureau and tourist police here and it´s a great place to organise the rest of your trip. There is also an active volcano to climb up, but ...
Oh Antigua...
I seriously love Antigua. I know it is by no means the real Guatemala, maybe because it was the first stop on my trip, or maybe it was the fact that it took a lot for me to get here so the overwhelming appreciation of it all fogged up my eyes, or ...
