My stop in Belize City was interesting. The 3 Sisters Guest house turned out to be a real dive in a very unsafe area. I walked around and found an old colonial looking hotel overlooking the water and transferred there - the first place gave me my money back except for $5B that was very good of the lady. What a joy to find air con, a large bath tub and satellite TV. I went out and bought 2 cold beers and a bag of chips and watched the Aussie open tennis. Then I went up to the bar and had a vodka tonic and ordered chicken chow mien which they brought to my rooom- I think they call that room service - I wouldn't know..
The Chateau Hotel in in Belize City- very windy . My room up on right.
So yesterday I flew from Belize to el Salvador and then onto Guatemala City As soon as I exited the customs area a guy approached saying " mini bus to Antigua?" 1 hour later after we had climbed the hills we arrived in this most beautiful city. All the streets are cobble stones - rough on the feet- I only have thongs as I sent my shoes back with a huge box of stuff that I posted home. Will also have to go buy some warm clothes too as the temps down to 15 C after dark and in the morning.
I stayed in a beautiful b&b last night- see pics , and have just moved to chez Daniel which is also so stylish, clean and the best views of the volcanoes that surround antigua. I'm sure I'm going to be super comfortable here and am looking forward to the French breakfasts.

My room at Marias Hotel. Note the collection of crucifixes and candles- very beautiful and stylish.
The view from my door at Chez Daniel. This is the Volcano that overlooks Antigua
This lovely family allowed me to take their photo which I have had printed for them. The baby girl in the zebra suit attracted me of course...They sell their wares all day in the street. The big girl has been to school this morning- I asked !!
