Well yep so this roughing it, sleeping on floors, climbing up things you really shouldn't etc is all well and good, but from time to time you need to embrace some home comforts.
At least that's my excuse for having a huge smile on my face eating a spinach and egg panini ( posh mcdonalds egg mcmuffin?) and massive latte yesterday morning for breakfast. Some Guatemalan tortillas would have cost 10p - this cost £5. Worth every penny.
Talking of pennies - I've been highly amused to remember just how money focussed backpackers are. The guys on the trek spend £2 / night on their accommodation. They wanted to know what our luxury £15/ night hotel room was like. My response ' that ain't luxury love'. Every time we tuck into our £5 lunches in Antigua we giggle - that's 2 nights accommodation. Bugger it - my days of rat infested holes are over.
Anyway time to discover the beautiful Antigua - it's stunningly positioned - with 3 volcanoes surrounding it. I really should climb up one....or I could go for a passion fruit smoothie and drink to my brazillian girls. Sounds more sociable right?
This one's to you Chica's - Mel, Jodie, em, Lisa and Bec....Maracuja time
