... any nasty parasites or amoebas, although I think any weight I may have inadvertently gained I have definitely inadvertently lost.<br><br>Friday night the last in San Pedro, was a quiet affair for me; a meal with new friends, a quick drink at the Buddha Bar with Dave and James and a couple of sisters from Putney who were doing Spanish at the same school as Dave and then bed to wake up early to catch a shuttle bus from San Pedro to Antigua. Both Dave and I spent a ...

... and side, names, chome and stainless. Yeah. Badass.<br><br>Our hotel was only two blocks away so we walked. It was immediately apparent that this was a different city. First of all there were many more people. It was crazy crowded. And second of all there were tons of gringos. It was a tourist destination.<br><br>We arrive at the hotel, settle in. The hotel itself was nice and clean. It had tile floors, an inside courtyard and was ...

... Mexico. We left our car in safe keeping with the wonderful family running Hotel Antigua. Antigua was a lovely city surrounded by volcanoes on three sides. We decided to hike an active volcano, Pacaya, while we were in Antigua. Several people we met recommended we hike in the afternoon (versus the morning tour) because you could see the lava better against. With those recommendations, we chose the afternoon ...

Cette fois on est les dernières levées, on rejoint la famille au petit-déj. Tout le monde part à l'église, on squatte la piscine ;) Journée tranquille: jeux de carte (uno, poker,...), apéro, repas à 16h. On attend que le soleil soit moins fort pour aller à la plage (on est toutes rouge), malheureusement les vagues sont très fortes alors pas de baignade. On attend le coucher de soleil avant de rentrer. On finit nos sacs, on est les dernières à quitter la maison... retour à Antigua

This was quickly shortened to half an hour when it turned out she wasn't available, and a man was going to do it instead. We decided to book into separate rooms in a much posher hotel tonight. It´s got piping hot showers, a sauna, and terrific views. Tomorrow we head to Quetzeltenango to do some more volcano trekking.

... food, music/djs, the whole nine-yards.<br><br>We spent Sunday mainly taking in the beach as it was a lot less crowded and relaxing then the Fiesta Latina going on by the pool.  We purchased our all inclusive package today for $40 and were able to partake in all you can eat food and snack.  You could opt to pay a'la carte which was useful on days we were out sightseeing.  A few of us rented ATVs and cruised up and down the ...
