We were told that the bus took 2 hours to do 39km up a mountain. Fine. It didn't. The roads were blocked at many points as they were re-tarmacing them. So about every 45 mins we stopped for 30. At one point our microbus driver decided to jump the queue. In the process ran over a child's foot, and then came face to face with the largest lorry I've ever seen. So it decided to reverse incredibly badly. We were on the edge of the highest mountain in Central America. There was just a big fall. Nothing to prevent us going over. All I could think was "Well if this is the end I've had a nice life". Dan dragged me OFF the bus. It started to POUR with rain. This was not the highlight of Guat, thank god.
In the end the dispute over child's foot was over and the bus did a million point turn and got back into the queue. We got back on. The view from Todos Santos was (sort of) worth the journey! See above.
There was even less to do here than in Huehue but culturally it was more interesting.
