Just two nights, one day in Antigua before heading to San Pedro La Laguna for a few days round Lago Atitlan.
The shuttle to Antigua wasn't the longest bus ride (took about 8 hours), but definitely the least comfortable so far!
We have spent the day getting laundry done (yay- clothes don't smell cavey anymore!) and wandering around the city. It's a very pretty colonial city, with lots of church ruins and churches that have been rebuilt, pastel coloured shops and houses and cobbled roads. The city used to be the capital, before it was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1773. It's surrounded by 3 volcanoes, including one active one, but the clouds meant that we couldn't really see anything!!
Very excited to be at Lago Atitlan tomorrow for my birthday 😊
