My four days in Antigua were bliss. I can see why it is a UNESCO heritage site. Not only is the town totally gorgeous, but it it full of tourist luxuaries (just what you need after a month of roughing it). The top 10 things to do in Antigua:Walk the streets (it is like a maze of more and more cute little houses)
Visit the marcardo. I was in fruit and vege heaven. It all looked so fresh. The only problem is finding a way out (because the market was so huge)!
Cook a home made feast from all purchases at the market (Jo and I made the best guocamole).
Enjoy the local fiestas (every night seems to have a party of some descriptio
n - fireworks and all)
Taste the amazing chocolate at the local chocolate maker, chilli and 7 spices were my fav.
Take in a movie at one of the restaurants (I did say it was geared for the tourists)
Check out the local night hot spots (and all the gringos)
Avoid the local beer (Victoria and Gallo - not for me), but they did make a mean mojito.
Be overwhelmed by the choise of restaurants (which was all good after all the Gallo Pinto in Nicaragua).
Love the hot water showers (even though they are dodgy electricity contraptions on the shower head - who cares, the water was hot!).
