Today we rode 260 Kms (160 miles) and crossed the Mexico 🇲🇽- Guatemala 🇬🇹 border.
We left later than we wanted as we took things easy and watched Bo carefully to see if he was fully recovered. Over the course of the day he became stronger and stronger and he actually started to enjoy the ride again.
The road to the border was pretty good until we got closer to it and then it turned nasty as we neared the Ciudad de Cuauhtemoc as they are still constructing.
The border crossing was uneventful but took time as we had to get our deposit back as we left Mexico 🇲🇽.
In Guatemala, we actually got a sticker (only country so far) to attach to the windscreen that shows the bike is legal to ride in the country.
As we entered Guatemala 🇬🇹 the terrain changed considerably as we hit surrounded by mountains everywhere. It is very beautiful.
This is the second time I visit this country and it is for me one of the favorites in Central America.
The different level of GDP compared to Mexico is also obvious as it is a much poorer country.
In the evening as we were having dinner we met with Yvonne and Fran, from Ireland that since September 2017 have been traveling the world on a Ural sidecar motorcycle (check out their site https://fyoconnor.wixsite.com/nofixedabode/about).
That evening Fran and I discussed some trips we had done and are planning to do and I learned a bit more about the Ural and how different it is to ride a sidecar compared to a motorcycle.
I always enjoy to meet other riders and exchange experiences.
