Arriving in Antigua

A loooong day of travel. Work up (relatively) early to catch the end of the sunrise over the ocean at Playa.

Then a drive to Cancun airport to catch a flight to El Salvador, and from there a connecting flight to Guatemala City, and a shuttle to Antigua.

We arrived after sunset - but even as we drove along the cobblestone streets to our accomodation, I was marvelling at the charm of this place.

Our boutique hotel is just gorgeous- and nothing has been overlooked; high, wrought iron bed head and base, a beautifully appointed bedroom and bathroom - all so lovely.

Charley and I went for a walk to the main plaza and then around the artisanal market getting a sense of the place. We had such a lovely time together while the others rested.

Alex was too tired for dinner so Mitch, Charley and I went around the corner to the larger sister hotel to ours- it has a pool we are free to use and a buffet breakfast we are also welcome to partake in. A lovely, simple dinner in a beautiful environment.もっと詳しく
