Guatemala

Jarrimg ride hrough the cobble streets of Antigua ... little stop by the traffic police ... a bit of haggling about the penalty for not wearing helmets... no penalties... back to Antigua... getting helmets and off to Guatemala City ...

Stopping at Decathlon X what is NOT Decathlon and nothing about cheap and good quality but rather just expansive ...

In Guatemala City we finally found an area that seems worth and save enough to park and walk around. First district... shopping street...food market - very big food market ...and down the noisy road to the coffee district (4th district) ... having a nice black coffee and finally after 24hours fasting first food at the market - fantastic tacos with Guacamole and fajitas 🥑🌮🫘 + some fresh fruits and berries from the market...

At the right back another short chat with the traffic police for driving into a one way street and than up the mountain to Hobbington, where they built a lovely retreat in Hobbit style.

Last ride down the steep slopes and dinner at the food market in Antigua...Läs mer

Tour start: 9am ... in theory... we leave around 10:30 with a dozen other tourists to stop somewhere to get equipped with "suitable" hiking clothes... continuing to the starting point of the hike where already 50 other tourists waiting to accompany us in a long and slow line up the Vulcano...

... and we got a couple of creps 😜 ...Läs mer
