I arrived back in Guatemala City & stayed at a nice B&B close to the airport. I got in late in the evening and headed straight for bed. The next morning I had breakfast and headed into Guatemala City. I decided to take a chicken bus and had to enlist the help of a local to point me in the right direction. Once on the bus it was a fairly straight trip with no funny incidents. Except that I went straight through the city centre & out the other side before realising I should of got off 10 minutes earlier. So I spoke to the driver (I use the term spoke loosely) and he told me to catch the no 22 in the opposite direction. Well the no 22 never came & so I caught a cab for 15Q. A lot when you think the bus only cost 1Q.Â
Well back in the city centre I was totally underwhelmed. It's a dirty uninteresting and dirty city. Well I hung around trying to discover a hidden gem or two and came up with nothing. I then spent an hour trying to locate where my bus might come past going in the homeward direction. Well every number bus under the sun cam by except the darn number 83. So I said f$%k it and caught a cab home. That was 30Q. Still a bargain I guess as its 7.5 Q to the US $. I only found out that the play Texas Hold'm Poker at the holiday Inn. If I knew that I could maybe had a little fun, or not if I lost lots of $.
The next morning I caught a shuttle bus to Antigua and I was a happy puppy once again.
