Took a boat across the lake

San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala


Took a little side trip here on Monday, Em was under the weather so I had to figure it out myself. I caught a boat from the shore for 25 Quetzales or around $5CDN, it is a little more expensive than it use to be according to Em but everything is a little more expensive around here since the mudslides 2 years ago plus you have to factor in the gringo tax. The locals only pay 15Q for the boat ride.
San Pedro is a cool island with populated by locals and people who came to visit and liked it so much they never left. It is a hippy culture there, very laid back with a lot of people locals and non-locals selling jewelery. I was asked if I wanted to buy weed three times in the three hours I was there "Ämigo, weed...ganja? is the best" I didn´t get any. It´s grow extensivly on the island.
I ended up walking around a lot then sat and had a beer, read my travel book and finally figured out the complex Mayan calender system. It´s been bugging me since Merida.
Caught a book back to Panajachel for another 25 Quetzales and 25 minutes later I was across the lake.
