Quick update...
Today i went to Las Fuentas Georginas. Its about 30 mins from Xela and high up in the mountains and volcanoes. We booked the trip and got picked up. a little into the journey we pulled over at the side of the road and some child came with 2 cartons of fuel and a tube to fill up the car. although we had just driven by about 6 petrol stations haha! interesting!
a little way further the hazards went on again and we stopped outside bombero fire station and changed drivers! the new driver was trying to turn off the hazards but had no idea so i had to show him where the button was! he was trying all the sticks on the steering wheel! thats pretty much an example of the rest of the journey. he wanted to give us information but kept taking his eyes off the road and weaving around! He is a bombero too.
We were going so fast up winding roads with sheer drops and he was barely refusing to break and on blind corners driving in the middle of the road! madness!
We got there safely and it was busy. we got in one pool out of 3 and it was lovely and hot but not boiling hot just muy caliente! tried one opposite and it was burning hot. couldnt keep my feet in for more than 20seconds and that was when i pushed myself n grit my teeth! it was lovely though, just what i needed!
I am leaving tomorrow. I think, unless i change my mind for the fifth time today, I am getting a chicken bus to Monterrico but via Antigua for one night as its not a direct route and actually difficult. gona pop in to see people and leave some bits safe in Antigua with them. Then onto the beach until the weekend then back to Pana/San Pedro for more spanish.
