27th Sept. 2106 It was a long day yesterday. Very worthwhile and enjoyable, but we are glad that we can have a day taking it easy today before our transfer to Guatemala tomorrow. I think that both Alex and Marcella(?) …
A Change Of Scenery
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2596_thumb-127x190.jpg

An Abrupt Start
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2553_thumb-190x176.jpg
25th Sept. 2016 “Right, we’re here. Get out.” That seemed to be the gist of the brutal announcement over the PA in the bus that woke me from my fitful sleep this morning. Sure enough, it was 7 o’clock and, …

Transport Dilemmas
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DSC2385_thumb-190x139.jpg
21st Sept 2016 So, Janet got another transfer day yesterday, and I get another daytrip to cover today. How is that fair? Worse still, we’re running out of clean underwear and so are going to need to find another lavandaria …

20th Sept. 2016 Having done the trip to the main bus station yesterday it was all straight forward this morning. We were even prepared for the collectivo dropping us two blocks from the bus station and transferred to a …
