Coban
to San Pedro (Lake Atitlan).

Memorable moment

Memorable moment.

Being convinced we'd seen enough of what Coban had to offer, we headed further west to a town called Nebaj, which was situated in the mountains at approximately 3200 metres above sea level. The road leading into Nebaj was obviously very tight and rough which proved to be hazardous as a typical Guatamalan bus driver showed Boxy the hard way. The road didn't seem to be wide enough for the both of them so it was into the ditch that was luckily there for Boxy. Thanklessly no damage done but the need to exercise caution was once again prioritised. On our travels further south found us at a live soccer game where the field was made up of fine gravel. As well as the dust kicked up from each player and the nature of injury associated with falling on such a surface, we were happy to be only watching. Further exploration of this town in search of food, brought us to the local villagers selling their produce at the local market. The more interesting fact was the parking lot . It was simply just a house block with at least a dozen mules and horses, saddled with large packs ready for their owners return. Still heading south we made it down to Lake Atitlan which proved the perfect spot to kick back and relax for a few days.
