Well our time in Guatemala ended at the weekend, with mixed feelings. It was a shame to leave behind the family we were just getting to know and the Spanish lessons (difficult though they seemed at the time!), but it was good to get on the road and start seeing a few new places.
Saturday was quite a long day, travelling across the country to a little town called Copan, just over the Honduran border. The bus journey was interesting though, with various gouchos, complete with cowboy hats, joining the passengers along the way. The Mayan ruins at Copan were superb, with intricate sculptures of their rulers (pictures to follow shortly). Even better: the sun shone... ALL DAY! From there we headed to the capital, Tegucigalpa, where unfortunately the main museum we were interested in was closed. Undeterred, we spent time soaking up the atmosphere in the busy streets, and listening to the passionate preachers in the main square.
Next stop: Nicaragua!
