Mis lead by my guide book!!

Well, it was a sunday morning and I decided to leave my comfy, beautiful hostel and new friends in Juayua in search of a beautiul lake, what a mistake! Its silly beacuse my insticts were telling me to just stay in this lovely place another day, enjoy more good food at the food fair and just laze in the hammocks and plan properly where to head to next, but no, this was too easy and off I went in search of Lake Coatapeque, as it looked stunning, and my guide book made the accomodation sound wonderful. Well 6hrs later, I only just arrive, after taking a slightly wrong bus to an area just 5km from where I was meant to be, and having to stand, being stared at by the side of the road for an hour, dying for the loo, waiting for the right bus!! No fun, and I was close to tears, sounds silly now, but I was really fed up and annoyed at myself or A, not staying in comfort of Juayua and B, no taking the right bloomin conectinmg bus!!
I tell myself all will be fine if once I get to my destination the acomodation is how descibed in my guidebook and how it looked from the pictures I googled, but on no, far far from it!
The place had a different name, maybe it had just changed hands, 80 percent of it was under construction or being decorated, the pool had no water in it!! and the dorm was shabby and no one else was there so Id be all on my own, in this bleak, slightly dirty dorm which was on stilts by the waters edge, a bit isolated!! I didnt have much choice as I took the liberty of venturing next door to a lively hotel where there was actually people and music but the room there was 3 times the price, had no bathroom and was rubbish too., so I opted to stay with the cheap rubbish one. On the up side, I was on the edge of this picture esque lake, the sun was close to setting and I had a beer to hand, so I curled up in a deck chair, read my book, took a few piccies, drank my beer to take the edge off my day, then went in search of a couple of tasty Pupusas, horrah I found them easily at least. Needless to say, I did not sleep well, Jonathan I thanked goodness for my silk sleeping liner, so my skin didnt have to touch the bed sheets urgh! and slept with one eye open, kept awake by the whipping wind and crashing rain, creaking sounds all around me, and the constant thought that the boogie man may break the flimsy lock in the night and get me!!
Ah occasionally Im going to come across these places, but I do hope that they are few and far between.
Adios, and wish me luck in finding somewhere lovely to lay my head tonight xx
