Last Sunday we took a trip to Panajachel, a town on the other side of the lake. We were surprised to find that tucked behind the main drag Pana has a beautiful beach right on the lake where locals were chatting while they snacked on freshly cut fruit. Being amongst locals was a refreshing change from the gringo-filled streets of San Pedro...

We also stumbled across a bus terminal filled with old US school buses which had been transformed into multi-coloured Guatemalan speedsters - the famous "chicken buses". We monstered one of Jerry's famous burgers with great coleslaw before taking a late afternoon boat back across the lake where we got to enjoy the view alongside el capitan.
