• Rocks and Rolls

    April 2, 2023 in Guatemala

    (it turns out I took essentially bugger all photos today as I left the phone in the hostel)

    A welcome lie in - awaking at the leisurely hour of 7am - and a stunning hammock view set the tone for a relaxed day.

    In the afternoon we floated away down the rubber dinghy rapids.* Well, most of us did, some people managed to float mostly headfirst while flailing helplessly after their tubes.

    Cerveza and sunshine guided us across rocks, rapids and razor hot volleyball pitches until we drifted home to watch the sun set (presumably... It was cloudy... Who knows...)

    The evening served pool challenges, hot tub class wars and an unexpected zesty smattering of petty crime. Full credit to the CSI Guatemala Gang for tracking, tracing and threatening their phones back into their hands after they were stolen.

    Drinks, new friends, rages cage and a German man cornering me telling me all about his unexpected homosexual escapades in Mexico capped off this eclectic but excellent day.

    Onto bed. Onto sunrise. Onto Antigua.
