Posada Del Cristo Negro Chiquimula

The route, finally arrived at after much false info, made more complicated by the fact I didn't want to go via either capital city, Guatemala nor San Salvador, was scenic &amp; of course, took much longer than specified, despite being first class.

... was live music in the central plaza this afternoon. <br><br>It has been really interesting watching the breaking news and getting a local interpretation of the problem. The owner of our hotel, a German man who also speaks French, English, and Spanish, thinks the president would have tried to take over the country by installing a loyal military commander if democracy had failed him. However, the hotel owner was also not exactly happy (understandably so) with the military take-over ...

... here of Mayan descent and most of them still speak the language. The people are looking very different form the people of Nicaragua. The country as a whole, although still very poor does not seem to have as much extreme poverty as Nicaragua has. We did not spend much time in Honduras, but we liked much of it and hope to explore more soon.

... in and began working with us on constructing the rebar. We imagine this was as great of experience for them as it was for us. Tomorrow morning our group will visit the local hostel, where the children who live in the mountains stay during the school week, going home during the weekend. This should be quite an experience for those who take this side trip. Others will remain at the work site to ...

We had a 3 day stopover once again in Guatemala in a small town not far from the El Salvador border. Iain refused to stay in the Hotel California in Chiquimula for obvious reasons so we took a room at the Hotel Hernandez, recommended by Lonely Planet who obviously haven't visited it for a while!

Up and on our way again to catch the 9:30 boat to Puerto Barrios in Guatemala. David and Katz managed to catch us at the last minute to say goodbye, and we sped off across the sea...(name).

The amazing thing is it all ran like clockwork, never having to wait before we jumped in another vehicle. A whopping eight hours later, we ...
