Arrived in Panajachel after a nightmare 3 hour journey on a chicken bus with the hangover from hell, stick on a packed bus with no air conditioning and no suspension over the millions of bumps we had to go over, we fianlly arrived at Panajacel. A great little town on the waterfront of a beautiful lake. We rrived just in time to watch the sunset whilst enjoying a great meal and a few cocktails. I love margarites....yummy!!! As we have 2 days at Panajachel we cal...

So here I am in Quetzaltenango, what a mouth full it is to say so the locals call is Xela. We call is s***ty Xela. And what a grotty town this is. Dirty, run down, and very little to do or see. It took us 8 long hours to get here, all on a 'chicken bus', they call them chicken buses as it is the mode of transport that thet locals use along with their chickens. The journey was an 'experience' as the buses get sooooo full, as they fill 2 man seats with 3 or more pe...

So here I am in San Cristobal, still in Mexico. As it is inland it is slightly colder here so we have had to pull out the woolies.

We are staying here 3 nights so im spending this time relaxing and chilling out as the tour has been none stop. We are constantly moving from one place to the next ...

Tikal ruins were impressive owing to its size, number and vast area in which they were spread over through out a dens...

After a long, very late night on 'mexican water' (tequilla) and many beers, woke up with the mother of all hangovers and have a full day of travelling and walking around an ancient Mayan/Toltec ruins site-So not looking forward to it. The journey to Chichen Itza took 4 hrs and I spent the whole time running back and forth the toilet as it was coming out of me in all ways. Didnt think things could get worse but low and behold it did. On one of my many trips to the...
