At the lake

We left Coban in pouring rain so we were really lucky yesterday. Long trip to Lake Atitlan which is really beautiful. Staying in the hippy heaven village of San Marcos to relax and explore the area.

Boat to Pana then bus to the market at Sololá which was huge and where we bought stuff. Back to Pana where we bought more stuff. Rucsac full!
Heard all about the Chocolate Spirit on the boat on the way back.

Over to San Pedro which is the other main hub and party town. Booked a ticket out then strolled to the textile town of San Juan where we were shown how it's all done and Judy bought a scarf which is a week's work for a weaver. Back to rain coming through our (unglazed) skylight so emergency work by the hotel. It's the first rain for four months!

Walked along the lake via Tzununa and Jaibolito to Santa Cruz, about 3 hours, the last two over steep and rocky path. Lovely! On the road again tomorrow.
