Guatemala into Mexico



Mexico have gone big on "Wind-farms"
After I made contact with Stan & Marco and heard they were 5 hours behind I decided to go through the border find a hotel and wait there for them.Arrived at the border town of Hidalgo, very busy place, narrow streets, got a bit lost, turn round and found 2 friendly policeman on the side of the main road, asked which way to Mexico, they answered in Spanish of course, which I understood to be follow me, well with lights flashing I was escorted to the border post, and met a couple from Vancouver Island with there 2 daughters in an Kombi camper, they had been on the road for about 8 months and were heading home " Going Nowhere Slowly" Spoke to them and got some good ideas on where to visit in Mexico. Rode off after the quickest crossing to date, found a hotel in Tapachula ( As per Marco's posted, second crossing) to wait for Stan & Marco.  Woke up early, made my way to breakfast, to find the Canadian had also booked into the same hotel, invited me to join them for breakfast and we continue our chat from the day before.
