Around The World In 80 Waves

Myself and Phil drove to Antigua yesterday, which was the capital of Guatemala until a massive earthquake levelled it in 1773 and it was moved to Guatemala City.

It is a beautiful town with a colonial charm, because Guatemala was under Spanish rule until 1821.

As with everywhere I go here there are huge volcanoes overshadowing everything.

Antigua is no different and there are two massive ones overshadowing the town.

We have a wonder around this traveller hotspot, but it feels a wee bit sterile because of the five star hotels and so many foreign faces that are knocking about.

Phil takes me to a favourite cafe of his for lunch and we both have a chuckle at this statue in the courtyard at the back.
