FOILED!

As some of you may be aware, Claire and I have done something in a previous life to annoy the volcano gods!

Having dodged the Icelandic Ash Cloud Take II in early May and having managed to get out of Baños two days before Tuanghura started erupting again, we have been foiled by Volcano Pacaya in Guatemala!

It has been erupting since last Friday but the thick ash has blocked the runway in Guatemala City. Combined with a massive tropical storm that has washed away roads and villages, we fear that Guatemala may be a no go for the time being. Plans are up in the air but we are hopeful that we can get to Costa Rica at least and then rebook the Costa Rica - Guatemala City leg at a later date.

Who said that travelling was predictable...
