Lake Atitlan, Guetamala

The morning after Buena Vista we headed north to Lake Atitlan not far from antigua.I was sick so we got a fancy bus.we went to a quiet place on one side of the lake were we had arranged to meet a friend and stayed there for the night. Then we all headed to San Pedro de la Laguna which is the liveliest town on the lake,however we could go out while i was sick and then when i got better emma got food poisoning again.So the nightlife was lost on us!!we did however make it to Chi Chi were they hold the biggest market in guatemala twice weekly,where all the traders and mayan come from there mountain villages.We went on the busier day,sunday.It took ages on terribe roads, in a crap bus but it was worth it.Great bargins and the haggling was fun.We even spent less then we brought with us and could barely carry the stuff back to the bus (emma got a huge quilt!!).didnt bring the camera so sadly no pics of the market.the pics of the lake are stil on the camera so will have to wait.
