Filadelfia Coffee Resort & Spa Antigua Guatemala

... you would think, but let me explain. It´s literally hidden in the middle of the block, with no sign. It took us 3 days to find it, but we did! That night, we all walked back to the movie restaurant (in the rain) and attempted (again) to watch movies that we had purchased in the market..but they turned out just as bad as the night before! We got 2012 but it turned out to be a bootleg version called ¨2012 Doomsday¨and it was quite possibly the worst acting ever! So we all ...

... bark and skitter away at any site of us. Over the past week however he has grown more accustomed to our presence, and even though he is still scared will allow us the privilege of petting him from time to time, especially if there is food involved. I, of course, take complete advantage of his newly instilled trust and will chase him around the living room/kitchen just to get him good and ryled up. He's just so gullable I cant help it.<br ...

... before it was pitch black. <br>We didn`t make it. We ended up trenching through the relentless rain and mud with glow bugs being our only guiding light for an extra hour.<br>We eventually got back to Santa Cruz and were pretty relieved to be alive. <br>The distance covered: 26kms and not 1km was easy. <br>To top it off, after about an hour`s rest or so I went out to the lounge area just to have a couple of quiet games of pool with Mark. Instead I found him playing ...

... which is what took me from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen, to Tulum, to Belize City, to Flores, Lanquin, etc. until down to San Jose in Costa Rica.<br><br>So getting back to my journey, I planned to do a volcano trek in Antigua which was provided free by Bamba. As we were leaving Lanquin, Cal and I had expected another fairly empty mini-bus to take me to Antingua and Cal was hoping to again catch a lift and pay the driver, however this time it was not to be and I was on the same bus ...

... the three of us joined a group of 12 which were half Israelis, there are masses of Israelis throughout Central America mainly on their year of travelling after military service, and two Americans, Mary and Danielle. The climb was easy but there were a couple of times when the scree just disappeared under your feet and you felt you were going down instead of up, but a walking stick, &#8216;borrowed&#8217; from children at the start of the walk for 3 &#8211; 5 ...

... heat. They graciously shared with us. Our newest discovery: magma roasted marshmallows are delicious. <br><br>As we hiked back down the mountain, darkness fell and we watched the sunset behind two other volcanoes. Once it was completely dark, we admired all of the lights from the cities within a few miles.<br><br>My legs are still a bit sore, but I definitely don´t regret the climb. It was something I will remember forever. <br>

... back on the ship around 3pm and headed to the snack bar for lunch. There are no more quesadillas! Boo! I showered, unpacked the room, and then read some before heading to the cookout on the back of the ship for dinner. We had ribs and chicken for dinner as well as an ice cream bar for dessert! After dinner I worked on my S@S movie with Bri and Jessica before heading to bed early. It was a long but fun day!

... ride (night before?) didn't strike me particularly well; didn't throw up but it was close. Next thing I knew Marta and Sandra (house employee, lives in this town) were pushing soda water and Alka Seltzer on me, followed by the sourest lime I've ever come across. Didn't really help at all. Nice town, though. Oh, my pictures are on my camera's memory, and I didn't bring my cord, so on my camera they'll stay. Sorry. Last week turned out to be ...

... falls rejoining the river, forming a 40ft waterfall. The color of the water changes during the year depending on the season, sun and other natural factors, making for unique picture-taking opportunities. It is a beautiful place, often called idyllic. The Doctor and journalist from Solola, Epaminondas Quintana, said about Semuc Champey: "we are sad to say that there is something better than Lake Atitlán and surprised that there ...

... active volcano puffing away in the distance as well as a couple of dead ones. <br><br> <br><br>It was still daylight when we reached the lava and as the sun set it got really really cold up there, but the glow of the lava was amazing and kept eveyone warm! It was so hot, you couldn't get too close - some people brought marsh mallows to toast, but unless you'd bought a 6ft stick, there was no way you could get close enough ...
