Hello All!! Sorry my blogs are taking time to come!! We have been very busy in the last few days. A good nights sleep in Lanquin saw us wanting to head to the waterfalls at Semuc Champey, so paying the tour company we hopped on the back of a pick up truck and headed out to the start. The first part of the tour was through caves, so we donned our flip flops and were given a candle each and followed our guide in!! Whilst in the cave we waded through deep water, s...

The past few days have been absolutely crazy in Antigua. We met a huge amount of people from all over the place and spent around 3 days chilling out and in the evening getting absolutely smashed in the local bars. My highlight was Simon going to chat up a girl and getting as far as saying "do you speak english" before finding out she didnt and giving up. Everyone we have met in Antigua looked like a footballer, especially the ones who looked like Shevch...

Upon dumping our bags we set out around the town which was a little holis...

After a good few trips to the toilet and a good few Imodium we were ready to rol...

Hello everyoneWe left Huehuetenango this morning and headed on yet another crazy chicken bus ride to Quetzaltenango. This time I managed to get wedged between two Guatemalans, which made the ride and the numb bum afterwards even worse. Upon reaching Quetzaltenango (aka Xela) we headed for the town centre. This town seemed much nicer than Huehuetnango, and is surrounded by the Chuchumante mountain range. Our hostel, Hostel Don Diego seems nice and offers adventure...
