walking over the border bridge between Belize & Guatemala
I am now on a little island in a lake in northern Guatemala - so little in fact that when I went to look for a bank at lunchtime I circumnavigated it without realising.
It has quite a history attached to it but I am not going to tell you about it. You are really here just to look at the pictures go on admit it.
The trip from San Ignacio was in a collectivo: a microbus (like a tarago) where they managed to squeeze 25 people in. No livestock or childrens body parts so it was all quite respectable albeit cramped. I just plugged in my mp3 and lost myself in some Jan Garbarek accompanying the Hilliard Ensemble, and gazed at the rainforest.

There is very little to do here except eat - so I found a cafe and had a long lunch - about 2.5 hours.

Guatemala is the 60th country in the world I have now been to.
