Hi everyone,
As you know we were planning to climb Tajamulco this weekend. Everything was going well, we were up and ready for the pick up at 4.45am, we caught a chicken bus to the town of San Marcos and had breakfast there. The most ominous sign occurred though- Joff did not feel like finishing his breakfast. Warning bells should have been going off but we kept going. Another chicken bus later we were at the base of Tajamulco. We walked up to our starting point were we engaged in stretches and introductions with the other members of the team and the guides and then we started walking.
About 20minutes later Joff was at the back of the pack (most unlike him) feeling very unwell and to cut a long story short we decided that in his current state climbing the highest mountain in Central America was not a good idea. We made it back to Xela late afternoon with Joff just managing the two bus rides to get back. It was disappointing for us both but who knows we may get another chance! We think it was just a case of gastro, he is still feeling a bit under the weather after lots of rest and lazing around.
Anyway, hoping that he will be better in time to start the 6 day hike on Wednesday but if not there are plenty of other options up our sleeves.
Will try and post some photos on a separate blog
Hope you are all well. Thinking of you,
Min y Joff
