K Hey, Tom. So you went to Guatemala on holiday this time? Where is it exactly?
T It’s in Central America, to the south of Mexico.
K Why did you go there?
T Because it’s a really interesting country. I wanted to go sightseeing and see some of the famous ruined Mayan cities and temples.
K I see. And whereabouts in Guatemala did you go?
T I visited the whole country. I started in Antigua – it’s the historic capital – and then I went to Lake Atitlán, a beautiful lake in the mountains.
K So what did you do and see?
T I went on lots of tours, and I went trekking in the rainforest. My favourite thing was the ruins of a Mayan city in Tikal. They’re in the middle of the rainforest and they’re really beautiful. I climbed to the top of a temple at sunrise.
K Wow! It sounds fantastic.
T It was. I took a lot of pictures!
K And how long did you stay?
T About six weeks.
K Did you stay in hotels?
T No, mostly guest houses, and I also stayed with a Guatemalan family. They were lovely and it really helped me with my Spanish.
K Did you go on your own?
T Yes, I did, but I met lots of local people and I made lots of new friends.
