- Don't let the bed bugs biteOn arrival at the hostel in Xela, I meet Tom who gives me a lesson on dealing with bed bugs and I am concerned as to why this might be necessary. Though I don't find any conclusive evidence on inspection Posted by cmarks in On your Marks | Feb 13, 2011
- Maximon, the cigarette-smoking, alcohol-drinking saintI've seen it all now. In Santiago de Atitlan, Maximon's life-size carved wooden image is dressed in an odd array of Western clothing and is surrounded by candles, various offerings, and a number of ashtrays (for his cigarettes, of course), guarded Posted by cmarks in On your Marks | Feb 11, 2011
- Back to school at Lake AtitlanTime to address the pitiful Spanish - I arrive in San Pedro hoping to find my inner geek at Spanish school. After half an hour of trying to string a couple of sentences together and fearing I won't hear a Posted by cmarks in On your Marks | Feb 11, 2011

- San Pedro - Lago AtitlanWir sind im Urlaub! Nach dem stressvollen Markt in Chichicastenango hat uns ein altbewaehrter Minivan ueber die Berge zum ruhigen San Pedro am Lago Atitlan gebracht.

- AntiguaNach einem letzten tollen Desayuno Economico im Cafe Fantasia haben wir Coban mit einem Bus der Marke Monja Blanca verlassen.

- Lounging at Lago de AtitlanThe travel day from the remote Semuc Champey back to Antigua equalled the discomfort of the trip to get there; though, knowing the trip had been well worth while, the seven hour ride seemed more managable on the return journey.

- Coast to CoastWhen I last wrote I was preparing to say a tearful goodbye to the Caribbean coast of Central America, which I had been following (quite) diligently for the best part of four months. There's a massive lack of infrastructure on Posted by tgilmour in Viaje interminable | Feb 15, 2011
