Around The World In 80 Waves

The reason I covered Mexico at such breakneck speed was because this week is British Week at the UK’s Embassy in Guatemala’s capital Guatemala City, and I have been invited to be an honoured guest for the proceedings by no less than the Ambassador themselves.

If I hadn’t put my foot down I would have missed taking up this wonderful opportunity, which I knew would not happen often in life.

It only takes a few hours to drive from Panajachel to the city and this passes without incident other than scraping across a few more speed bumps.

I took this picture of one of the roads though to give you a flavour of the Guatemalan driving experience. This by local standards is an extremely good road.
