Posada de Dona Angelina Antigua Guatemala

... was with a relatively new tour agency called Garage Funk Tours. We booked the tour through the school so didnt have any clue what we were in for. Turns out the two guys who started the tour group have absolutely no business being tour guides. I think they said a combined 8 words during the 8 hours of the event (spanish and english combined). We piled into their souped up chicken bus (black bus with red flames ...

... the mother-in-law, with the one head shorter teacher acting as my husband. It was quite funny. Afterwards, we tried to make tortillas and tasted the most delicious meal, Pepian, which compared to some of the other meals we tried here, had a good spicy flavor to it. <br><br>Last weekend, Eliane and I visited Casa Santo Domingo, which is this old convent converted into a luxurious hotel. I was really nice, and a perfect spot for a romantic ...

... 8221;<br><br>Jasper: &#8220;OK, well&#8230; I jumped in the back of a van that picked me up from the hostel, it was filled with other tourists and our tour guide. We drove for a few hours, unfortunately I was on the seat above the wheel so I felt every speed bump, and when we reached the volcano ...

... but this one was so impresive, landscaped gardens with views of the active volcano and cool leather chairs and benches to take it all in, one catch you have to buy Mc Donalds food....<br><br>Decided to hike the active volcano, Pacaya volcano, we were told that it was going to be a leisurely hour and a half walk with a tough climb at the end... now this is why the tours over here are crazy...could you imagine a European tour company offering tours of the most active ...

... and not finding it pre-nibbled!!!<br><br>Tarmac Roads!<br><br>Seatbelts<br><br>Being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet<br><br>Being able to brush teeth with tap water (bottled is such a faff)<br><br>My bed<br><br>Nice wine<br><br>Using a fluffy towel<br><br>Feeling clean!<br><br>Well that&#8217;s all I can think of for now. And now there is only a 24hours of travelling time (including 8 hours at Mexico city!!!) between us and home.<br><br>See you soon!!

... niet de enigen waren die dit wel eens wilden zien, er waren veeeeel toeristen. Vandaar waarschijnlijk dat ieder groepje toeristen zijn eigen naam kreeg. Wij werden met 8 anderen de ¨poema´s gedoopt, het deed denken aan schoolreisjes van lang geleden.<br>Als gids kregen we ¨José Oké¨ mee (we going to climb volcano, ok? Volcano called Pacaya, ok? Vamenos Puma´s, ok? enz, enz). Maar afgezien van zijn irritante stopwoordje was het een ...

... la fin de ma première semaine, le vendredi 17 avril pour être exacte, un local me file un tuyau : un petit comedor derriere une tienda (petite epicerie), où une petite vieille dame me sert un "pache" ou tamal de pommes de terre. Pas mauvais mais pas terrible non plus ! Ouh la la.... je sens que des explications sont nécessaires ici. Tamal ou tamalito : papillote amérindiennne préhispanique (elle aurait plus de 5000 ans ...

... of us had booked to do the volcano climb the next day. The dinner was okay, but the setting in the courtyard of an old monastery was beautiful. After dinner we went for a drink at the crowded Monoloco's (?), which was full of what looked like American spring-breakers. There was definitely a lot more happening in town than on Wednesday night, but we didn't really stay out long.

... about a third of the materials for the project, we also need to take his timeline of activities into account. But let me tell you, he was SUPRISED when I told him that we had raised the funds already! In the remote highlands of Guatemala, international aid like this is hard to come by, and no one really believes that it will be possible until it actually happens. Well, we did it alright. It looks ...
