Guatemala to D&D Miro Brewery Honduras 17 10 11

It finally stopped raining , so Julio pushed me out and said about bloody time  .  Julio and Luisa  are such great people and it was sad to leave after 11 days .  I would not be here with out all the help from Julio 

The first stop after Guatemala City was Copan Ruinas  Honduras .

 I had a great ride and it felt good to be on the road finally , there was signs of lots of land slides from all the rain  , but I had no hold ups . 

Until about 100 mts from the border , there was a  landslide right over the road , with a huge truck on its side right in the middle . They said  road closed come back tomorrow , I just thought what now , hell it is a long way back to Julios . Just then a guy in a Tuk Tuk came up and said follow me , well the next 10 mins was pure hell .

Off we go back and through a little village and out into a clear field of mud , more mud and more mud . It started out not to bad until we came to a drop down to a river , the Tuk Tuk was gone , light enough to almost float down  .  I stopped a looked and looked and said #&@# I cant go down there (it was I tell you just a mud slide ) , but the only problem was I couldnt go back either (I was in for what ever happened , I was sayin to myself , here we go again , im goin down   ) . After what seemed like hrs I plucked up the courage to go  , the sweet was running off me as very slowly I slid down that bloody hill . Hell I made it , now the river , half way across I got bellied  . Two guys came running and helped me out , next its up the other side , but I made it Great . 

So the good thing was , I was the only guy going through the border , so it was very quick and I was underway . Bit still sweating for about 2 hrs later . 

Afetr finding a hotel ,out to the Aztec Ruins  I go , they were great , but for me not as good as Palenque Mexico . They were rediscovered back in the 1500s

This is how they would have looked 

Next stop D&D  Mico Brewery Hostel . it is by Lake Yoyoa , I had a great ride down here ,the weather is great , warm but not that bad . It gets pretty hot once you stop and get off the bike though 

Its quite beautiful,  set in the jungle 

Honduras is very beautiful , with lots of mountains ,and not  so many cars ,  the roads are just ok .
