Again we go! Previously ruszlismy almost daily, and there was nothing extraordinary in this, now it is not so easy, after a week of sitting in one place. We want to get there by bus almost at Ciudad Guatemala, there get off at the station and try to catch a foot in the direction of El Salvador.
So we leave in Guatemala - a country which has so far we feared the most. Colombian friend of laughed at me to not want to come visit him, because it is too dangerous, and entering the country as Guatemala TAAAKIEGO ... Well so far the only attempt an attack on our way happened to Cuba, a country like the safest ... This proves only one thing - there's no rules, no certainties. We must just watch out everywhere, but you can not panic. It is worth to read a warning in the Lonely Planet, but you can get them zachlystywac, for fear triggered by the reading is sometimes a nerve.
One thing is certain: YOU REALLY Going to GUATEMALA! It is a country so beautiful and exotic. Even the poor, perhaps with by the Indian nature of the villages is of your charm. Guatemalans appear to most people in a very cheerful, zyczliwymim, calm. You can see from the Guatemalan government also does everything in order to ensure the safety of tourists. In all places we could count on the kindness of the police, also creates something like tourist police, intended to protect and escort the tourists. Public transport system works brilliantly (as indeed in all the countries of Central Aneryki).
Guatemala has the most beautiful to see the ruins can imagine, a wonderful town, exotic markets, mountains and lakes, and of course colorful wszystkinm Indians.
pity in spite of developing tourism is still a country so poor ... Arise, however, English school, for example, how our Arco Iris, and thousands of others, which attracts crowds of tourists, which is like the best omen for the future.
open market conundrum ... What to do if the majority of land in the state belong to 22 families - descendants of the conquistadors, who 500 years ago in the brutal way they caught me, killing the Indians. Is it really belongs to them? How to solve this problem in order not to violate property rights? And a fairer division of the land in fact change something? Are the Indians are able to take matters into their own hands and also co-rule the state? We asked ourselves these questions sitting in the divine experience in San Pedro, led by the French. Oh, and why all of these options for backpackers created foreigners ...
got off at the station 40 km from the capital, but catch rates were going hard, We could just go a little outside of Ciudad Guatemala, and that this in some other direction than we wanted. Finally we arrived by bus to the border with El Salvador. Last regiomn by which we passed was already quite a toad and not at tourist. Here also you can not see many Indian yl face. We saw the city dirty and bland. But they are not overshadowed beauty of this country, which will remain forever in our memory ...
