2009 World Cruise – After spending a day at sea we arrived in Puerto Quetzal,  Guatemala.  We had a 90 minute drive to Antiqua, a Colonial town that has beautiful, clear views of three volcanoes. The town was very clean, very charming old-Spanish-style.                                                                   Palace of Noblese

  We toured the beautiful baroque Iglesia de la Merced Church, arguably one of the most beautiful churches I have seen.  Of course, yellow is my favourite colour so it has bit of an edge going for it from the get go. Lunch was at a five-star hotel that was a well-done blend of modern construction and incorporated ruins.
