My part of the trip to Guatemala, although long, was mostly smooth going. Julie had some delays, but thanks to some kind Aeromexico employees, we made our flight to Guatemala City. La Aurora airport is one of the cleanest I've traveled through and the people are very polite. Our Gate 1 bus was there to pick us up along with others on the tour. We were transferred to Barcelo hotel a short distance away and had a bird's eye view of the planes taking off. Actually, they were at eye level on the 8th floor!
Since there was no meeting with our tour guide, we asked the hotel for a restaurant recommendation and were directed to Kacao, a typical Guatemalan and fusion restaurant. We were a bit early, but they kindly welcomed us into a beautiful palapa-covered tropical paradise. The food was amazing and the service excelente. We both had delicious squash raviolis in a cream sauce. By the time we left, the place was busy and everyone recommended Kacao before any other restaurant.
We crossed a few busy streets and I noticed that unlike Chico where you have 10 seconds to cross a street, you have about a minute. They have digital signs to let you know how much time before the light changes. While they drive fast, Guatecas generally drive within their lane as opposed to the middle of the road like Mexicanos.
Off to bed early for our morning trip to Antigua and Chichicastenang.
