Looks lovely!
As you say, you don't expect countries outside of Asia to have beaches like that! Once we make it to Central America, we will definitely check all these beaches out.

You found another gem
Your travel and bargaining skills show its head again. Good to see you resting & relaxing with the clear blue green Caribbean waters. The food looks great.

Beach bunnies!
Good to see you two back on the beaches with your gorgeous photos with a million shades of blue! Thanks for breaking my stereotype of Panama as a place to rush through--once again, I'll follow your excellent advise.

Fabulous images!
Incredible photos of the colorful alfombras and processions! Reading your descriptions, I could smell the wood, flowers and incense, and I love your comment on appreciating customs so different from your own. Perfect timing in sharing this for Easter. Hope you're adjusting to life temporarily not on the road.

Been there and loved reading about it again
I was in Antigua in 2006 for Semana Santa and loved every procession. They start 2 -3 weeks before Easter but really culminate in the Good Friday one that leaves La Merced church (the one with the gladiators who wears brooms on their heads). I loved it all- the smells, the bells, the drum beats, the children sleeping on their dad's shoulders, elaborate alformbras, and simple ones made out of pine needles and cut up chip bags so their shiny insides shone. I, too, marveled at how the women could walk the cobblestones wearing heels and not even looking down at their feet. I hate that everyone associates the KKK with the processional robes. You are right that they go way back to medieval times. Leave it to a hate group to steal something religious and make it their own signature - something Orwellian about that.

hello
Carolyn, thank you for your comment!!! well, we always say what we thing about places we visit and the KKK came to my mind immediately when I saw the pilgrims....even though I know there is no connection it was the easiest way to describe it:-) will check your blog most definitely. Cheers, B&T

Fabulous blops and adventures!
So sorry your journey has come to an end--you've been the best guides and photographers, and I'll be following in your travel steps. And how great that Tomas is from Krakow, a city I love and spent a couple of months one snowy winter. I've so enjoyed your blogs and wish you the best in your transition to London life--remember, we'd all love to see blogs from your new life! Ciao.

Hey Tara
thanks, as always very appreciated;-) yeah it was sad to leave the continent but Central America proved to be very interesting as well. Life after this...hard to imagine but I am sure we will do our best not to come back to the 'old' routine;-) We already plan the next adventure but time will show when, where and how;-) Beata

Our RTW lasted 583 days = 1 year, 7 months, 5 days. That means 83 weeks/13,992 hours/839,520 minutes/50,371,200 seconds of LIVING THE DREAM We love to travel. It is as simple as that ;-) 30.09.2011 we embarked on the trip of our lives ;-) in 2007 we got inspired by our friends (Monique and Nigel who constantly travel and have been on the RTW) and since then we have been thinking about it all the time. We finally set up a date, started to save up and focused only on preparation ;-) We could not just stay at home all the time so we traveled a bit in between but ... full info
