| Panajachel 25/07/11 Picturesque lake surrounded by volcanoes and towns. We booked into the first hotel we came to, unloaded all of our wet, ash covered clothes and started to dry things out. We hit the first restaurant we could find and made it an early night in a warm dry bed. In the morning we headed to the lake side to see what the sights had to offer. Which was amazing but the clouds were rolling in, just after lunch, the wind picked up and the rain started to come. The lake that was a mirror in the morning, but now had large waves on, which made the boat journeys across very choppy. After lunch we got back to the room to start to repack all of the unloaded drying things, and the heavens opened. The thunder and lightning was above us and the road, in a matter of 20mins, was 4” under water. It was flooding many of the craft stores along the side of the road. It only lasted for half an hour, before the rains slowed and the roads began to dry up. It did a good job of clearing the road of rubbish, but most of this ended up in the lake. It was time to move on again and a mini bus would take us across the boarder, via Antigua again, to the town of Copan, in Honduras. |
