Xela and Tajumulco

---

hey,

so here is the bit where we went to western guatemala and climbed the highest volcano in central america. It is 4220 m high. the dates on the blog are completely arbitrary as i cant quite remember when we were there.

so the volcano was awesome, super super cool sunset and sunrise..was soo soo cold on the top and including altitute sickness was pretty hard. worth it though!

on the way back towards antigua i had to put my backpack (geremi) on the top (check out the pic) of the bus when we were in a traffic jam...and i guess the traffic moved so the bus
started speeding along while i was on top....so i had to climb down, camera in mouth hanging on to the bars and climb in the backdoor (the buses here are old school buses from home)
scary!

neways, no more typee for me as i am the only one of that ever does so!
