View from the takeoff, you can see the rough water in the back of the lake which was wind which we had to wait for

Karen and I decided we needed to get adventurious and go paragliding. The weather conditions were playing up a bit so we stayed an extra day in Panajachel to see if it would get better. Karen had a shit ride as her guide took her across the mountain in search of thermals that didnt exist. My guide was onto it and the thermals rockeded us a couple of hundred metres above the take off cliff. The view was amazing and we did some cool acrobatics with some strong g´s.
We had a huge mission in the camonette (chicken bus´s) getting to Xela as we turned up late and then it rained with our packs on the roof.
