Km 107 5 Chulamar San Jose, Guatemala
... the place and all the gossip.. so it was time to climb out of the lake up the mountain in another struggling and asthmatic minibus and travel to Antigua to meet up with Kirsty, Troy and George who were staying in the Yellow House hostel. Tim having completed his research in Xela and launched his latest music CD was also coming down to meet us all. <br><br>The bus was scheduled to leave at 9 and at 8:58 James and I were a little concerned there was no sign of Dave ...
Antigua Guatemala, Sacatepéquez, Guatemala hess... Paul´s gf didn´t believe he would. She had tried and failed for months to get him running. Easy money!<br><br>After dinner we wander to a local bar. They are decked out with a pool table, ping pong and darts. Cathy and I battle to a tie in ping pong. Well basically I suggest we give up the table after winning the first and losing the second game in ping pong. I can feel my control slipping away. Yeah, I chickened out.<br><br>(CENSORED)
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala travelrob... turned out due to the foggy, damp, cold conditions. One other event that happened while we were in Antigua was an earthquake. We heard several speculations about what it was from an earthquake to a tremor caused by activity with Volcan Fuego. Neither one of us had experienced an earthquake before this. Darren was anxious to get outside and Kristi stood there thinking it was interesting that the floor was shaking.
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala gringowithdrawl... en quad et oui, j'ai le privilège de conduire! On perd presque Nancy à cause d'un boum-boum mais plus de peur que de mal. On arrive à temps pour le repas de Pâques: ceviche, fruit de mer, soupe de poisson, enchiladas, viande,... Ouf! On fait une pause repas avec la piñata de Lætitia. Pendue dans le jardin, on met un bandeau sur ses yeux puis on lui fait faire un nombre de ...
San José, Guatemala fatofi... and the people were amazingly friendly. Lisa was accosted by a Hispanic woman for talking to her husband... that was funny J Snorkelling was hard with a burnt front part of my body. Also my feet were pretty badly burned.

Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala payboss... light. So I spent the morning wandering round Antigua by myself. Its a beautiful town, built by the Spanish, set in a valley surrounded by dramatic, jungle-clad volcanoes. There are parks, a colourful market, cobbled streets, haphazrd ruins of old earthquakes and beautiful architecture. In fact, if you tyake away the rape, pillage, conquest, enslavement, torture, subjugation, theft and spread of disease, colonialism isn ...
Antigua, New York, Guatemala sam180... So we head back in and there is seriously nothing going on...The night before this dining area was filled with guests and lavish displays of food...what is going on??<br><br>A hostess soon appears and brings us to a table...we are all still utterly confused as there is no one else in the dining area and we begin laughing out of the sheer fact it is so awkward. 2 hours ago you couldn't find a space at the pool and now there ...
Puerto San José, Escuintla, Guatemala bookitorskipit... you will frequently be cautioned about scams, car hijackings, theft, etc. Do not let these warnings scare you off. The<br>country is really trying to turn itself around and I experienced no issues during my travels. The locals that we encountered were all extremely hospitable and friendly.<br><br>Weather: Although we traveled during the raining season (Dates traveled ...
Puerto San José, Escuintla, Guatemala bookitorskipit... Fausto (padre) and 3 kids, Paco (6), Sandra (14) and Wilson (16). None of them spoke any English (at least thats what they told us!). The house had a fantastic view of the lake . (Just to show how bad our Spanish was at that time, at the end of the week we discovered there was another son, who we hadn't seen all week because he'd been in his bedroom studying. He was called Wilson, which meant we'd got completely mixed up as to who was who - very ...
San Jose, Guatemala freeandeasy... can hire a guild to take you up to the summit. In past years, the guilds were for protection from thieves, but, with the creation of Guatemalan Tourist Police Force, crimes in these touristed areas have dropped off significantly. Still, it is highly recommend that you hire a guild because, though you may not face emanate danger from would-be bandits, without the guilds you would get hopelessly lost in ...
