We stepped off the boat got on our bikes with our heavy packs on our backs and headed down the road asking for immigration. The feeling was home anyways more so than Belize certainly nothing compared to if we walked into my mom’s house or into Kevin’s parents house in Reidholz. I seriously dream of Swiss chocolate while biking. So much so we finally bought a ball of 100% cacao to try and make some hot chocolate with or eat as we go when we need a pick me up. Haven’t even tried it yet sadly. It’s as if out of sight out of mind really does work when you are busy doing things all day. Immigration was easy and we received, well I received 90 days.
A guide was showing a lady we met on the boat to a hotel and said it was good deal so we followed and got a hotel room for the night dropped our bags found a bank and food. We were so untrusting that we asked probably 5 times how much and it cost us nothing for two lunches plus s guy gave us 5qz since we didn’t have enough and then we dropped our hesitations and began trusting people or at least made that s goal of ours for this country. It was nice to hear Spanish again although then I often have to have Kevin translate tough words for me. The lunch spot gave us a recommendation for dinner and we headed back to our hotel to shower, make coffee, repack and get our clothes washed. We took some time with the wifi and showered and next thing we know it’s 18:00 and starting to get dark so we heard out to find a grocery story only to be told it’s far away and everything close is closed and with our luck we just happened to turn into the road where the restaurant which was recommended to us was. We went it and ordered and I’m shooting myself in the foot because it was one of my favorite meals and I didn’t take a photo. It was so delicious and cheap we ordered two more full meals to go to have for breakfast the next morning when we headed to Guatemala City.
In a final decision for our bodies and time frame we decided to bus West to Guatemala City and then hop back on the bikes to continue south in hopes to make it to South America by March/April and spend a few months there visiting and maybe even staying with the family of friends.
