Today’s port was Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. The port had a nice market, but we had no time to browse, as we had to hurry to get to our tour bus.

We took the bus to a city called Antigua. It’s an UNESCO World Heritage Site and used to be the capital city of Guatemala until they moved it else where, when Antigua was destroyed by earthquakes. Many of the ruins still remain, and they were interesting to see.

It was a long drive to and back from Antigua, and we were late coming back. We were supposed to be on board by 5:30 pm, but we got to the port at about 5:40, so we probably didn’t get on board until about 5:50 pm. But that’s OK. We were on a ship-sponsored tour, so they would wait for us. And we weren’t the only ones returning late either. (There were more buses behind us.)

For dinner, we went to Canaletto, an Italian specialty restaurant. We had very good potato gnocchi and veal.

Tomorrow is another port day. We’ll be in Corinto, Nicaragua.
