Brrrr, it was cold in Semuc Champey. The first night I was dropped at "Jan van Vu", which the Guatemaltecos pronouns as "Jam Bambu". It was at night only 7 degrees and I had to ask for a blanket and sleep in all the cloths I have. In the morning at 5.30 the monkeys and birds woke me up.
They don´t have many rules here in Guatemala. Lot´s of things are possible, like driving without a safetybelt while phoning, standing next to a lava river without protection, firework all year long, showers with loose electricity cables, which gave me a shock this morning (sorry Mama).
In Semuc Champey I did a 2 hour tour in a cave. It was just like outside, beautiful with different floors of pools, waterfalls but without light. They don´t have electricity overthere. I followed my guide with a litte candle. Swimming, and wading and climbing on slippery rocks into other pools. Sometimes on my belly to get there. Above the waterfall hang a rope to help you up. The guide fancied to tease me and swam far before me, when of course I held my candle in the water and couldn´t find my way.
It took me three hours and 5 tea´s to get warm after this tour. But is was ¡Vale la Pena! (worth it).
Tomorrow I´ll go into the jungle to a voluntary project with monkeys and turtles. There is no luxery, nor internet. Hope to find some locals overthere to speak some Spanish. In Semuc and Flores it was crowed with tourists.

BeantwoordenVerwijderencht dat je een bikkel was. Zeven graden boven nul en dat noemen we koud. Hier heeft het meer dan tien graden gevroren met een dik pak sneeuw, da's pas koud. Pas je wel op met die stroom, straks heb je je haren recht overeind staan. Wordt wel een leuke foto. Doe de groetjes aan de appies, Mom and Daddie
