Guatemalan time travel

... rest stop at a convenience store, while inside, shuttle casually leaves to go get gas. All passengers think the shuttle has left us there and stolen all of our items. Bus does return clueless to fact that the foreigners are panicking and wondering how they could be so stupid.<br>3) Girl seemingly on drugs cannot find her ATM card and makes the entire bus wait for at least 30 minutes while she searches through all belongings. Finds ATM ...

More adventures!

... again down the river, trying to miss any rocks /<br>trees this time. After that the guide took us to some gorgeous rock pools which I've included pictures of and we swam for a bit. Also did some rock climbing in order to get to a 'Mirador' (look out point) which was 1km up. <br>Definitely felt like Anneka Rice at the end of the day. Kerrie unfortunately slipped on some tiles when she got out of the shower and has potentially broken or fractured a rib ...

There is only one river....

... a really cute girl from Isael called Efflat. <br><br>On our second to last day in Lanquin, we went to Semuc Champey. I must have done the most scariest activities that I´ve ever experienced i.e. swimming through pitch black caves with candles, jumping off cliff edges in the caves etc. So, after a day of fearful,hellraising stuff, Kerrie goes and slips over in the shower and cracks a rib. Never a dull moment hey!!!!! <br><br> <br><br><br><br>

The Most Beautiful Place in Guatemala

... according to Lonely Planet. It was a real trek to get out there, but it was worth the effort. There are lots of rivers, waterfalls, natural pools and caves in the area. Proof of the limestone beneath the jungle. One day I took a kayak out and tried my luck negotiating some waterfalls. I started with small ones (about one foot) and ...

Caving by Candlelight

... of the cave adventure was that there were no lights installed. Instead, each of us was given a candle and once in the cave, that was our only sauce of light. It was very Indiana Jones. The sight of a line of little red dots bobbing through the blackness in front of me was amazing. Of course, at the same time I could see about 40cm in front of me from my own candle. This looked even cooler on the way out of the cave as many of the candles ...

Crazy &#8216;Chicken Buses&#8217;/Dangerous Landsl

Lonely Planet names the road from Todos Santos (the last city we were in) to Coban as the most beautiful drive in Guatemala, even though it is extremely windy, mountainous, and only partly paved.  Devin and I were going to skip it because we didn't think poor Wesley was up to the task but since he broke down in Huehue we thought we&#8217;d give it a shot on the 'chicken buses.&#8217;<br><br>The &#8216;chicken buses,&#8217; as the tourists affectionately call ...

Lazy Days in the Mountains

... my body when they said they didn´t have any space in the dorms, but they certainly had a lot of hamac space. Wasn´t looking forward to the dark and slightly long walk back into town with my pack. So yeah, I stayed in a hamac. Bad sleep. Pretty cold. But the morning brought enough reason to stay for another 3 days. Absolutely beautiful setting. Bordered by the lush and limestone mountains with a river running through the foot of it, El Retiro was somewhere between ...

That night we went on a caving tour it was really interesting to see the rock formations and the stalagmites and stalagtites, don't ask me which are which I was a history major. At the end of the tour it was dusk and we sat at the end of the cave and turned out the ...

Heading south to Ross´ Paradise

... place in Guatemala he mentioned Semuc Champey and Lanquin and El Retiro hotel. We found out that we could go on a guided daytrip with breakfast and lunch provided to Semuc Champey and a Bat Cave from Coban so we made arrangements to see what Ross was talking about. We left early in the morning after a filling breakfast and travelled along a painfully rough road for several hours. But it was worth it! Semuc Champey is a beautiful place with a gorgeous ...
