We couldn’t stay in Flores for more than one day because we wanted to get a move on the celebrate Christmas somewhere around Atitlan Lake that was at least a 12 hour bus journey away.
We again packed up our things and left them in storage at the hostel so we could wonder the small island of Flores.
We found lunch at a place with a lake view where we each inhaled a plate of spaghetti carbonara; after we chilled at the hostel where we took advantage of the free internet so I could upload some blog entries and manipulate some photos in photoshop.
For the rest of the day we chilled in the sun by the lake on a pier where we met a couple of Germans and also some Austrian girls where we threw ourselves into the warm water of the lake attempting double backflips and crazy rotations.
We had to organize bus tickets for later in the evening and so we headed into town where we bought the appropriate tickets and found some street vendors cooking on a BBQ. The food here was SO much better than the food in Mexico and SO much cheaper too. For Q15 (approx $2) you get a plate filled with rice, beans, salad, delicious BBQ meat (chicken or beef) served with tortillas… Mexicans should take note of the food here.
The tickets to Guatemala City (that was half the price of tickets in mexico for the same distance) and later went back to the hostel for a few drinks during happy hour and more chilling before we set off.
We went back for another dinner at the same street vendor for another plate of BBQ meat before the 8 hour trip.
