Travel Blogs from San Marcos La Laguna
Lakeside oasis
Took the boat to San Marcus. More stress over where to stay - received death threats from little boys for not wanting to pay for their "guide" services
Finally settled on Paco Real, paid for 2 nights to get a deal
Found Jinava Bay paradise on a walk, couldn't believe it was only 30 QZ more than our room (£1) - gutted about being tied in to …
