We crossed the small border crossing, and made our Journey to the City of Antigua.
Arriving at 7pm, we hit rush hour near Guatemala City, which is 25 minutes or so drive from Antigua. I've been looking forward to coming to Guatemala, you hear stories about places on your travels as you meet different people everywhere, and it seems an intruiging place. We checked in to the hotel, and there was a message for me!? The hotel had called from Roatan, they had found my camera!!!!!!! Absolute miracle, thank god!!!! I just have to arrange for Fed Express to get it to me now. So that perked me up and after unpacking, the next point of call as always after a long day, is a nice restaurant, and we weren't let down. Las Palmas was a very class local themed place, with the best menu I've seen so far, and a nice steak! The town seems very nice, cobbled streets everywhere, and small rustic buildings. Its a beautiful place. Then after the meal we headed to an Irish bar, typically call Reillys, and then back to the hotel.
Today is Friday 17th, St Patricks day! The town in daylight is even more impressive, the Churches and shops are absolutely beautiful, and everyone as most places seem friendly here. Again thre is a Volcano in the horizon, which they offer tours to. I caught up on this diary for now, so will go do some more investigating, but tonight we will probably head back to th Irish bar where they are celebrating St Patricks.
Will get some pics on here as soon as I get my camera back, hopefully!!!
