Antigua, and Rain Delays Play in Honduras

Climbing Mount Doom, I start the week poking sticks into a lava flow, learning about life behind the souvenirs, and avoiding the twitchy stare of Jesus in Antigua.

Of course, it’s not all fun and games on the chicken buses, or in the salsa clubs invaded by Shania Twain. But after leaving Mayan villages behind in Mexico, I enter Guatemala to discover yet another poor country offering so many riches for the budget Gonzo traveller.
