I´ve decided to change the blog, no more day-to-day descriptions, just general thing we´ve been up to. Right Xela. A bit of a nothing town really, not much going on and not particularly beautiful. On our only full day in Xela we decided to get a bus up to a village in the clouds called Fuertes Georginas. As we climbed up the green mountains we couldn´t see more than a few metres in front of the bus and parts of the road had been washed away through landslides. The hot spring baths at Fuertes were really nice, it was surreal being in the bath and also being on a mountain in the clouds. It was great to relax and take in the forested valley views as the clouds lifted. We returned to Xela very chilled out and went for dinner at a french restaurant. Ratatouille for 2 quid wasn´t to shabby. Before we left Xela on our way to Panajahal we went into the central park to chill out. The park was basically just the town´s square with a bandstand in the middle. There was a political march going through the town and there were bangers and firecrackers going off all
