Day of Desastres

... after a little run around the pyramids with Daniel and some walls in-between we started our morning together with Capser🇵🇱 who needed a ride to Tikal ... we stopped somewhere - really just randomly somewhere and got an instant coffee and some tortillas in a shop ... we left Casper at the intersection to Tikal and continued to Crater Azul ...

... where we never arrived ... on one of the curves to Las Cruzes, just 15km before our goal the fulminating rain converted the dirt road into a slide and loosing control over the vehicle a solitary tree stopped our departure sideways down and probably even our tendency for a flip over ... would is apparently very hard compared to the vehicle body ...

... after we checked that nobody was hurt we called the car rental with the help of many locals who stopped by and decided to drive the car back to the office ... the engine worked fine - the major damage was at the body ...

... little problem we booked the full cover insurance via Expedia so we needed to pay in advance ... around 18.000€ 🥴 ... but non of our credit cards was suitable to pay those large amounts at ones so we left our passports with the car rental and went back to Flores, while Daniel mobilised his family to extend his credit card limits we sent him some grants 🤪 ...

... after the shock and some hours at the car rental we got a bit more relaxed over tacos, burgers and cocktails ... we let the day end on a terrace in our accommodation accompanied by some nice tee 💚Read more
