With Maya running nicely again this was a huge relief and allowed to to get to destination albeit one day later than planned.
Along the way we had to take a barge to get across the river.
Nothing to stop Maya diving off the side never to be seen again
The rest of the ride was uneventful until we reached the end of the tar seal then it turned into a rocky based road which was harsh but great fun taking us through many small villages.
It was a neat road
Lunch was later than usual and welcomed when we stopped, the temperature hitting 38 degs and very humid so we were dripping like a candle in the sun.
Friendly people everywhere along the way
Arriving at Lanquin it was stinking hot, Ellen walked off to find the truck going in, they had extra space as well so we unloaded the top case and clothes bags to make the last 10 km assault a bit easier for me, turns out the road was pretty similar to what we had come in on anyway.
Even a big welcoming Andy on the wall
Off to Semuc Champey I enjoyed a ride sans Ellen and top luggage which transforms the bike in the tighter stuff.
Forget Redbull ... getting our here and enjoying the beautiful Guatemalan scenery on a motorcycle gives you BIGGER wings!!!
Even some muddy water to make it look authentic
The road consisted of soft, hard, rocky, muddy, loose, etc so a real mixed bag, sometime requiring a little negociation around front tire stealing rocks
Semuc Champey is an outstanding place and a ADV must, you wonna go well here it is .....no excuse now!!
Time to settle in and see what tomorrow brings.
