Day 175 - The Guatemalan shuttle blues

Coban to Flores

Another poor shuttle ride - as we had been the first ones off in Coban two days ago, we were the last ones on today, everyone else had boarded in Semuc Champey and Lanquin. The good thing though is that we didn't have to get up early and endure a rough few hours getting to Coban, we'd done it all yesterday.

At one point we had to take a small car ferry across a river, and once we reached the town of Flores late in the afternoon we had to change buses to get to the small island where our hotel was. The island of Flores is tiny, about four blocks by four, connected to the mainland by a bridge. It's also very touristy but still very pleasant, with restaurants and hotels all along the waterfront with great views of the lake and the sunset.
