The day after
Both of us got up late. We may have over ordered the alchol last night. Got packed to be out of room by 11 but left our bags there til the bus cames at 3 to take us to Antigua. I went to the internet cafe while Tom sat across the street at the Jaguar making friends. One was Brent, who lives in Alaska and knows Leif and Jarrett from McCarthy, who we …
Back to civilisation - beautiful Antigua
... really loud music…normally things I would be thoroughly enjoying and getting in to, but after 2 weeks in the mountains with the only noise being chickens, dogs and bus horns, neither of us were really in the right frame of mind for it. It was mostly foreigners as well, rather than locals. We did however get chatting to two guys in there from Guatemala City, who were nice. We asked them where else we could go and they took us to another bar called Sin Ventura, which ...

Thanks for reading, as always. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, especially for this upcoming weekend. We'll be visiting the Guatemala City Dump.

“OK”
Reviewed Feb 8, 2013
It was dark, we had our packs and it was cheap. $15 a night for two. The room was kind of grimy and the security was lax. I would probably not stay again,but for what we paid and the circumstances it worked.
