Santiaguito erupting
... into thinking I speak Spanish.........for around 10 minutes.....but then that was it. Fortunately for me, once again, Frederick spoke perfect English....phew, otherwise it could have been a very long quiet hike.
We set off from a village on the outskirts of Xela and started climbing higher and higher. The walk was pretty steep and it was still dark with the sun just coming up which made for an interesting start to the day but you could still tell we were walking through ...

Au pied des dix montagnes
