We took a bumpy boat ride across the lake and a tuktuk to the shuttle provider's office (
Adrenalina Tours) in Panajachel where we left our luggage and shopped around the neighborhood until we came up with the perfect bedspread for our guest bedroom. Our shuttle arrived on time, we switched shuttles in Los Encuentros, stopped in Antigua long enough to pick up our bag at
Casa Cristina and buy some "Oh My God" chocolate from
Fernando's coffee place on the corner, and arrived at our hotel near the airport in Guatemala around 8pm. Long day!
At 5am on Sunday the 17th we hopped on a taxi to the airport and checked in for our
Taca flight to Roatán. Tough economic times at GUA, apparently - even duct tape couldn't save the bins.

Michael from
Camp Bay Beach Adventure Lodge was there to greet us; he and my Mike talked flyfishing nearly the entire hour and a half to the lodge.


We stopped enroute to buy groceries and finally arrived at our beautiful home for the week (our room is the one on the bottom left with the open door).

We made good use of the fridge and micro, preparing most of our own meals.

One of our pet geckos, this one barely over an inch long. They chirp periodically - sounds like they're laughing.

View from the porch - we're right on the beach.

The lodge's Tasty Tarpon restaurant

Grilled shrimp with saffron rice - Roxanne is a wonderful cook.

This moth was so big we couldn't tell if it was a bat or a moth until it landed.

The grounds are beautiful.



and so are the sunsets. Happy trails!
