DAY 48b
Week 7
JAIBALITO ~ La Casa del Mundo (Sololá, GTM)
Wednesday May 1st, 2019
TODAYS MILEAGE – 51 miles / 82 kilometres
TRIP MILEAGE – 19,787 miles / 31,844 kilometres
Carved directly from the soaring cliff face, La Casa del Mundo, located in the Jaibalito municipality, a 58 kilometre (36 mile) and a 2+ hour drive along winding mountain roads.
Yeah ..... nah ...... for a measly 20 GTQ ($3.80 AUD) each, we rode across Lake Atitlán in one of the local lanchas (regular ferry boats), completing the journey in around 15 minutes.
The stop ended up being 6 hours long, with views out over the lake that made for a stunning lunchtime dining experience and allowed me to complete my Cuba blog entries, as well as getting a good start on my new David Baldacci novel - Redemption.
Around 3:30PM we were met at the dock by another lancha and ferried over to San Juan La Laguna, but we would be down to a group of 5 as Lila took such a shine to La Casa del Mundo - she decided to spend the night.
No dramas, we’ll collect her in the morning on our way back to Panjanchel.
