Antigua – first impressions

It reminds me a lot of Peru, specifically Cusco. All the streets are cobbled; the houses are all small; there is no building and seemingly no second floor in this town. All houses are painted in different colours, but mostly in pink, yellow and brick. The street and house lamps give it an elegant touch. The pavements are small. At the center of the town is a garden surrounded by shops, cafés and a church. I think I will be spending a lot of time in cafés here. They are very very inviting.

Beyond the houses, we can see mountains everywhere. There are three volcanic mountains around Antigua, out of which one is active. And it is possible to climb it. :)

In the guesthouse where I’m staying, there is a courtyard with hammocks, a small common room and my room is furnished with wooden furniture.
