The Road to Antigua

The climb out of Panajachel was not nearly as steep as the descent into San Pedro, so it was actually quite enjoyable. Sadly, after 4 days around Lake Atitlan the clouds/haze never fully cleared so we didn't get a good view of the lake as we rode past view points on the climb. The road was rough and steep in places, and we had to fjord a small creek, but we quite enjoyed the ride to Antigua with Joe. We attempted to stay with Bomberos in Antigua, but got sent back and forth across the cobblestone streets of the city a few times before we gave up and opted to camp on the roof of Captain Tom's Hostel. With the bustling market just around the corner, and an oven at our disposal, we teamed up with Joe to make a big dinner of pizza and salad the next night. We had also been in touch with Antoine who we first met on the Baja at New Years, and knew that he was staying at the same hostel, so got to swap stories with him from the last 3 months of our respective travels.Okumaya devam et
