Hola! A little entry to tell you that: After Xela we were around Lago de Atitlan. It's a MAJOR touristic location so for us it was quite a SHOCK. Sooooo many tourists, locals pushing to sell you stuff and all the possible restaurant and bars... But then, as we ate fairly BASIC since we are in Guatemala, we were VERY Happy to eat: Malaysian Curry Wood-oven-baked-Pizza Vegeterian Crepes Tofu-burgers Soyamilk Fruit shakes AND most important of all for Nadja: LATTE MACCHIATO and CAPUCINO's!!!!! Later on we decided to go to a more relaxed and "authentic" place: San Marcos La Laguna. But to our big surprise it was not authentic at all.

Here we are again in a city!!!!! Huehuetenango... It's so off the beaten track that it's not even listed in the region list of travelblog! And this is the city, we were HOURS away from here in the most remote villages of the Huehuetenango-region. Let's say it's "le trou du cul du monde". But it was a VERY interesting experience, living with the local indigenas, just as indigenas, with NO tourist facility. It's in these very villages that Nadja worked as a volunteer for 3 months. And now we were back for our trip, with some presents of chocolate from Belgium and a few pictures that Nadja took before. We were very welcomed by them , it was a very touching time. But let's go back in time a bit...and let me give you a bit ... read more

Now I have to tell you something Technical. We can only post pictures taken with the small camera, so youll see loads of jungle but not many pyramids, they are in the other camera! Anyway the trek was WOAW, though. We had a lot of: Mud, Mud, Mud, Mosquitoes, Ticks, scorpions, cockroaches, Tarentula, birds, Toucan, Froggs, toads, monkeys, rain, pyramids, heat, humidity, mold, smelly clothes We had none of: Comfort, Vegetables and Fruits, real showers, hotels, fan, beds, But it was great, we had some magical, strange experiences too: We saw 2 pumas although they are never together, we went through a ... read more
