Today was a free day – and for me the first free day since the tour had started.

In the morning Naomi, Sergej and myself wandered to the market to buy all those strange fruits one either does not get at home or one is not able to afford back home – to give them a try …  some of them were delicious, others okay, others better forgotten. I spent the rest of the day further exploring town.

Today we left Honduras and continued into Guatemala – and, guess what … yes … we again had a multi-hour stop at the border. This time the problem was not that certain people would not be admitted into a country … no, the problem was to get out of a country (the Ukrainians were short of being sent back to the capital as illegal aliens; it took Juan-Carlos quiet a while to get it sorted out … really amazing, considering they had the right documentation and visas available)

We made it into Antigua in the late afternoon – and just in time for some first impressions – – and the last supper of the first part of the group. Some folks were leaving now, new folks were joining.
