Pirates of Lago de Atitlan
This time a boat trip across Lago de Atitlan – a stop to remove plastic from the motor
adds to the excitement but also to the sad realism of the environmental impact.

Who would believe it – a roof top rocket for the boys in our hotel!

Chicken Bus Ride
Contemplating… then everything “rapido” – literally thrown on top – not much different inside! Sleeping is the best tactic!

Cycling in Guatemala
Let’s say cycling in Guatemala is different. The volcanic landscape is stunning but the average altitude from the east to the west lies around 2000m/6000feet – most of the time it goes up, sometimes down 🙂 and as for the humidity, a lack of hard shoulders and you wouldn’t believe what comes out of the exhaust pipes! Local knowledge of how far away things are is not too reliable & can vary from 2km to 22km and flat is definitely not flat!
