    How time flies when you're having fun :roll:
    Only today i followed your trip to the last page. Super photo's :D


    On 30th april we still had snow, ever since just rain :lol:
    Only this week is going better :)


    Keep up the good vibes, Folks 8)

    OK, since Erik is a bit busy :D I`ll just shortly update our position.


    We crosse dthe border to MExico 2 days ago and unfortunately it rained since almost 3 days which slowed everything down a bit.


    Also driving was not very pleasant for Stefan and Erik.


    So we only managed to do about 100km in 3 hours each time.


    Antigua in Guatemala was a grat city to visit.


    It was the previous capital of Guatemala.


    Lost of colorful houses to see and travellers to meet.


    In Mexico we are now in Palenque to see some ancient Maya culture site.


    Today the sun is here again with us so we are pretty happy.


    I guess Erik will post some new picutres soon.

    That's right, I was busy entertaining Stocky and keeping an eye on him so he doesn't wonder off too far when seeing some girls :D


    He joined us for the past 7 days and we had a great time!! 8)


    But let's catch up with some old stuff...


    ...uups sorry gotta go - we're on the run. :blush:
    Will get back the next days!!
    :)

    So far no S2000 seen in any of the countries.
    I even checked one or the other dealer while driving by - nada.
    Well - mine is waiting at home 8)


    but still something for the Honda-fans:


    (1) seen in Costa Rica getting out of San Jose


    (2) Seen in Antigua, Guatemala:

    Nicaragua in generall is very poor.
    But still people were always friendly!


    In contrast here the colonial and very nice town Granada, right on the lake Nicaragua


    Right there was our first real car incident: We had a puncture :?
    But again no problem for the helpful and funny tire-guy! Cost: 1 Euro!!



    We took the chance and did an oil-exchange across the street. Cost: 9 Euro!!! 8o

    From Nicaragua we drove into Honduras passing by El Salvador.
    Actually we drove directly up north to the Caribbean Coast - to get some real beach- and palm-feeling after all 8)



    our charming camp-site 100 Meters from the coast.

    We crossed the Honduras to Guatemala border still on the Caribbean coast on the northern edge of both countries.
    Again the 'flag-proof' ;)


    Then driving down southwest, stop-by in Guatemala-city to pick-up this crazy guy: :D


    Spent a day in Antigua, a former capital of Guatemala.

    Very touristic, but still charming town!

    "Racing, competing, is in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life. I've been doing it all my life. And it stands up before anything else.

    To see the Lago Atitlan and the adjacent waterfalls we had to overcome several obstacles...


    (1) tight parking in the small town Panajachel 8o

    (2) even tighter :o


    (3) a huge rock in the middle of the street:
    was actually very funny to see people improvising with the tools they had to move the rock. :nod:


    however we were rewarded and got to see them :)

    Now we are in Mexiko and we have to speed up a little...
    We need to reach Anchorage, Alaska by 2nd July 8o


    So far 22.000 kilometers driven!
    Today we crossed the Tropic of Cancer


    And I will give some picture updates soon.

    And again some waterfalls to see:


    They are called "Agua Azul" but in fact the water was pretty brownish, sice it was raining a lot the last 4 days :?


    In any case we enjoyed it a lot :)


    And again as if we booked a 'tourist-entertaining-tour' we had to wait until the Mexicans solved this little problem...
    a bus got stuck in soft mud :roll:


    The spactators were also doing a fine job :lol:
