I’m off to Guatemala
I decided it’s time to expand my supply of photographs beyond Bermuda and Southern Africa. So, on Saturday I’m heading down to Guatemala for a week. I’m hoping to visit El Mirador. It’s a Mayan city still overgrown by jungle. You can trek there, which takes two days both ways. I don’t have time for that but have discovered it’s possible to get a helicopter in, overnight in a hammock and then take a helicopter back out. I’ve found a website that offers this service, but haven’t managed to get in touch with them. So, I’m turning up with nothing booked and hoping I can sort one when I arrive. If not, there’s another site called Tikal I can visit. There’s actually hotels right next to the temples there, so that won’t be a bad alternative, just not as adventurous.
For the second half of the trip I’ll be visiting Guatemala’s former capital, Antigua. It’s an old Spanish colonial city nestled amongst three volcanoes. My plan is to climb one of them, the easiest one.
I don’t think I’ll be able to get a load of photos done to upload prior to leaving so this will likely be my last post until I get back on May 26th. Then, I should have lots of photos and stories for you.
Today’s Photo: Redhill, Cape Town
On my last trip to Capetown I was lucky enough to stay with my travel buddy’s family. They have a cleaner, Grace, come in once a week and always drive her back home. She lives in this small township called Redhill. It’s in a strikingly beautiful location with vineyards in the valley below. It makes for a startling contrast.

Sounds like a great adventure, especially the helicopter, hammock, hunting for Mayan ruins in the jungle and climbing a volcano(even if it is the easy one!). Looking forward to seeing all of the wonderful photos! Have fun and stay safe! 😉
ok, but I’m getting “poverty” shouting at me here.
Have a great trip JP.
Before Europeans “civilised” the region, Mirador was the first politically organized state in America. If you meet any Mayan descendants, ask them if they can give me any clues on future UK national lottery numbers.
