30 Sep - Guatemala Wrap Up (We`re in Mexico!)


Guatemala: It`s very ... guatemalan.

Karen`s new favourite country, as it has volcanoes, lakes, traditional costumes actively worn. With really friendly helpful people, it`s a bit cooler in the mountain regions, less touristy than Costa Rica, more on offer than Nicaragua (the last favourite) and a hell of a lot of Mayan Ruins and living culture.

Phil liked the Mayan Ruins, and haggling with marketwomen in Solola (Karen can`t bargain, just too soft - especially when it`s cheap to start with). And I`ll be looking to return in October to Lago Atitlan for the Altitude Diving Course. (Will keep you posted).
