Cat & Ame's Discovery Tour
Hi guys!
Hope you're all well.
Ruth, Kev, Chris, Vicks thanks for replying! Nice to hear from you:)
It was really cool to log in and find your replies!!
We`re now in Guatemala. Got here yesterday after another long day traveling on...CHICKEN BUSES!!!
It was sooo funny. They are...like...rattling things that you don't know if you're gonna make it all the way, and they were full to the rim with people! Our rucksacks were thrown on the top and we were half expecting to see some fall off the sides of the bus along the ride! We actually had a boy with a chicken next to us on the first bus!! Haha...
We had to catch 4 of them, so it was quite extenuating altogether.
The landscape and the weather changed quite a lot again, as we are now up in the mountains, and Panajachel is on the shore of the beautiful lake Atitlan which is actually a crater, surrounded by several vulcanoes. It's wonderful. Today we woke up with the sun and took a boat trip on the lake, visited surrounding villages and SWAM in the lake. Beautiful. Oh, it's also all hippie land around here, so do not be surprised if we come all chilled...man...
Weather turned in the afternoon and we thought we were going to be in a little storm on our little boat in the middle of the lake!!
Here the town is nice, but quite small, and lots of tourist shops, and LOTS of bartering going on.... Can't get used to it.
Tomorrow we go to Chichicastenango which is this town with a (apparently) amazing Sunday Market - if you can imagine, all the brightest fabrics, and stunning colours, hand woven things etc. - Really looking forward to that!
(my wallet isn`t...)
Ames and i are really enjoying the group and everyone is getting on great!
Will be in touch soon.
Keep smiling!
Lots of love,
C & A
