Still in Zipolite...

There are some places in the world you can stay longer than you originally planned to...

On the beach again...

After San Cristobal we travelled on to Oaxaca where we visited a 2000-3000 year old tree and ruins of about the same age.
Now we are at the coast, in the little village of Zipolite. Finally sun, beach and sea again...

In Mexico...

After a long day in many different chicken buses we finally made it to San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico yesterday.
In the next days we are going to explore the city and then ????

On the way to Mexico...

After climbing both, Volcán Santa Maria and Tajumulco, making new friends and marching for the peace in the Middle East we can continue our way to Mexico tomorrow. Next stop: San Cristobal de las Casas...

In Xela...

Yesterday we arrived in Xela and we already met with the guys from Quetzaltrekkers Guatemala. Really nice folks!
Tomorrow we are going to climb the Santa Maria volcano and in the following days we will probably hike the Tajumulco volcano as well. - all without guides and tours of course!

At Lake Atitlan...

We celebrated New Years Eve in Antigua and met then with Maritas aunt and uncle for a day to show them around town. It is really nice to meet familiy again after more than two years...
From Antigua we finally went to Lago Atitlan and after one day in Panajachel and two days in San Marcos we are now in San Pedro. Here we will stay a day or two and then travel on to Xela (Quetzaltenango).
