TP has already eaten... but he's hungry again! We actually saw a Burger King leaving the Guatemala City airport and we had to bodily restrain him. It was an interesting trip. Bit of a delay at Miami due to the losse screw and then the tow bar snapped in half when we were leaving the gate. Smooth flight to Guatemala City and then the fun began. I (BR) left my iPod on the plane and had to walk half a mile back to the gate but recovered it safely. We then loaded the bus with all the bags, left the airport and were stopped immediately by the first police car. That went OK but 500 yds later we were stopped again and only allowed to proceed following a financial transaction. Enough said...

Due to the delay from Miami we managed to miss an exciting earthquake which rocked Antigua (above). Slept 4 in a room in full clothing last night (Rich on the stone floor). Got up and went to the hospital to pick up campers and then loaded up an even bigger bus (everything on top) and headed out on a 4 hour dive to Santiago Atitlan.



Pretty exciting stuff and a bit hairy with the tight roads and severe bends etc. Mile after mile of coffee and sugar plantations, bananas and pineapples. We may have missed the earthquake last night but NOT the eruption (below)

Nothing major but exciting nevertheless. Finally got to the camp and unloaded and had lunch and then met with local school people to arrange our visits. Off for dinner now at the camp...
