San Cristobal - moody
San Cristobal - moodySan Cristobal:
Horrifically brightly-painted churches in lurid pastel.
So many beggars.
Hippies.
Bongos.
Hippies with bongos singing ´No Woman No Cry´all night and not talking to us.
Cold weather.
Hippies.
One shower between twenty hippies.... which is surprisingly
always free. (
Surprisingly? )
Stomach bug.
Being sick, over and over again, for hours.
Having to walk around for hours just to escape hippies.
Having to go back to the hostel. Full of hippies.
Hippies keeping Jasmine's Versace sunglasses hostage as some kind of protest against materialism. Or washing. Or something. (They were in her bag one night and gone the next morning)
Fireworks at 5am.
Fireworks at 6am. Church bells at neighbouring monastery (rookie error, our fault) at 6.05am
Fireworks and church bells at 7am.
The 'Agua´-mobile and it's 50s-sounding icecreamvan jingle at 7.05am. And 7.15am. And 7.20am.
Every day.
Feeling homesick as it's halfway and I feel bloody awful.
...
We didn't like San Cristobal.
