Guate

1       When we cross Guate borded we realized that we came back to former Spanish colony. We saw, that the buildings, cars, houses, markets, shops are quite similar to these which we saw in Mexico. Especially Chiapas. It is known, that Chiapas used to be part of Guatemala so we wasn’t so suprised of this. This which we was a bit surprised was the prizes. In the first convienient store we saw 2 litres bottle of mineral water costing about 1,2 euro...We thought its not a normal prize, cause it was small shop situated on the border crossing. That we realized, that it was quite normal prize. Obviously in the bigger market we could have bought water almost twice cheaper, but it was still the biggest price of water we’ve ever seen, including expensive countries of western Europe. Anyway, we tried to hitchhike, unfortunately, we weren’t lucky so we bought one papaya (also bit more expensive than Mexico – I write bout this, cause in plenty places in the Internet it is written that Guatemala is sooo cheap – a lot of stuff is cheap there, but not all of them, and some of them are even incredibly expensive) and took a bus to our destination – Flores. We rode for maybe 1 hour through hilly evergreen forests and we reached beautiful town of Flores.
