... needless to say that I bought a red candle, lit it while praying for love ;-)<br><br>The trip there and back took place in a chicken bus, and that was a funny experience - although I must remind myself not to sit in the back of those buses anymore: Guatemala has a passion for speed bumps, and everytime we drove across one of these, I jumped almost to the ceiling of the bus! But at least we were lucky enough to get a seat, since there weren't many people with the bus.

... br><br>I came as an independent traveler amongst strangers. However when traveling with like-minded people who all share the same purpose, you quickly become friends. By the end of a ten day adventure I was hugging all these people I had come to know so well in such a short time. With promises to keep in touch we said our goodbyes almost as quickly as we had shaken hands hello. <br><br>

One minute the skies were an endless blue, the next, it was as if the heavens exploded like a burst dam. For about four hours every day, it poured and poured, turning the streets into white water rapids and ...

... began to throw ourselves off into the water. I must admit it scared the **** out of me the first time, but if your not scared, your not living! I think I jumped like 6-7 times, old Fordy only went once, disgrace! One of the major attractions at Semuc is the pools. There are 28 pools in the limestone, with cascade waterfalls between each level. The river also flows right under these pools in a huge cave system, and we plan to do the caving tour tomorrow. The pools were absolutely stunning ...

... It goes through forests, pastures and several viewpoints where it can be seen several cities and volcan de agua. The rest of the volcanoes and mountains were all clouded. In one of those viewpoints, we were able to see the Volcan de Fuego right when it was erupting . We could see it for about 5 seconds and then it got clouded again. There was a general "wow" from everyone in the group. The trek continues going up and down, until we reached several transmission antennas, and ...

Hi everyone! Last week was Antigua´s famous Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebrations. Crazy times, let me tell you. Here´s what it´s all about. Thousands of people (foreigners and Guatemaltecos alike) descend on Antigua during the week. Most years hostels and hotels are sold out for the entire week, illustrating just how high profile the week is. Crowds of people fill the streets. All through the week (as on each ...

... talking). In the afternoon we went to a tango show set in front of a beautiful 17th century church. I'd never seen tango before, so it was a great experience, not to mention the awesome band. Tango's an exhilerating dance to watch: it's powerful, agile, drunk-like, and almost elegantly trashy kind of dance. After we stopped at a sweet shop and gorged ourselves (it was Valentine's, after all). For supper we headed to an East Indian restaurant that was surprisingly great. After ...

... we just bit the bullet and stayed there. It was clean, had hot water, a comfortable bed with warm blankets and a toilet seat and at this time that´s all we cared about. We did meet a trio of unusual American men who were staying there also. They had brought a truckload of clothes and toys for some poor families and were quite entertaining in a way. We spent a spent day walking around and visiting some of the neat places that we remembered ...

... måneder siden.Pacaya er én af en lang kæde af vulkaner langs Stillehavet. Der er 25 vulkaner alene i Guatemala - nogle er aktive, andre er slumrende eller inaktive. Pacaya har haft mindst ni store udbrud gennem de sidste 300.000 år, udbrud som har har udsendt mere end 70 km3 materiale. Det er en af Centralamerikas mest aktive vulkaner. Alene i historisk tid (læs: de sidste 500 år) har der været 23 større udbrud. Det seneste fandt sted i 1960 og lavaen har kontinuerligt str ...
