Crazy days

For our last full day in Antigua the girls and I took it pretty slow. We walked around markets, hiked up to the famous viewpoint and got our nails done (priorities).
That night we did Salsa classes with the group which was hilarious, we are all terrible.

The next day we caught 5 hrs worth of chicken busses up to Panajachel... I genuinely thought I was going to die. Once there we walked around the town and markets and settled into our hotel by sunbaking on the lawn. For dinner we met up with Jean from our old group and had some amazing Paella.

Day 2 in Panajachel we went to breakfast and had some amazing banana pancakes, then went back to the hotel to pack up ready to go to our home stay in San Juan, a mostly Mayan speaking town.

A 45 minute boat ride later and we met our families. I stayed with the organiser and her two year old daughter  which was lucky as she spoke a bit of Spanish and English. We walked around the town as a group and learnt about how they made organic medicines and textiles from scratch.
It was getting late so we headed back to our houses for dinner and to play with the little girl.

Tomorrow we are heading back to Antigua.
