DAY 15 - TUESDAY 12TH
"THE REAL VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY CONSISTS NOT IN SEEING NEW LANDSCAPES, BUT IN HAVING NEW EYES". Marcel Prous
Left early from the hotel, a beautiful day to start, went passed Rio Dulce, gorgeous town, then passed Morales and Progreso. Changed the oil and filter on Angelina, i supplied the filter but the oil and labour was 230 Quetzal
Also passed the City of Guatemala, huge just huge, beautifully located amongst mountains and geographically stunning.
The journey had some ugly moments, got rained on, winds were strong, lots of curves and a truck overtaking another sent Angelina and i off the road. But the road surface is good and the scenery is awesome, Guatemala is a beautiful country.
After 11 hours i reached a lovely hotel. Las Camelias Inn in Antigua Guatemala. 2 nights, breakfast, internet and cable (all working) $US80. Angelina stayed in a secure parking station next door.
I ate at the nearby restaurant Ni Fu Ni Fa, Argentinian. The doorman had a rifle all up meat, salad and the national GATO beer went for 135 Quetzal.
The change in height is affecting me, my ears get blocked and i feel slightly unbalanced.
