GUATEMALA | Tuesday, 19 August 2008 | Views [484]
This town is a crossroads for travel to much of western Honduras and eastern Guatemala, but it has the negative aspect of the hustling people tring to get everyone on THEIR bus, van, or taxi. We couldnt even get out of the bus we rode in on before we were asked where we were going in 3 languages (broken english IS a language)by several different people. It seems every bus in town was going to the same place as us. We got on a bus that seemed ok until a minute after we asked the price, and it was double what it should have been. We two gringos stopped the bus to get off and pull our packs from the roof in anger. We were treated fairly at the bus station, but the bus ride made the crowded subway in new york look like a first class seat...believe me.
