Off to Rio Dulce
... away. Sadly this room lacked the same excitement as the last room and you could still hear the music but it was a little further away now. Apparently this is a regular problem in the area. The property next door is owned by the president, and his nephew often comes down for the weekend to party. By his taste in music I have to assume he’s partying alone but hey who am I to judge! Either way he’s a seriously spoilt, overindulged rich kid, that apparently, wont be told to shut ...

Posada Doña Louisa is more basic than much of our accommodation to date but is clean and tidy. All in one room so we will have to see how the night goes. Big day ...
Stick to the Plan
Today I stuck to my plan of walking only the east/west streets of Antigua. And the plan worked! Not only did I know where I was at all times, I happened upon several places that I had wanted to find.
