Tegucigalpa to Caribbean Sea
Left the town in Honduras with the longest name early to try and avoid the morning traffic, our human GPS (Marco) up front, he has an uncanny way of finding his way out of huge city's with ease, after a few minutes we found the way-out and headed towards Puerto Cortes, which is on the Caribbean Sea in the Bay of Honduras. Ascending a long hill on the outskirts of the town, which had lots of roads works in progress due to heavy recent rains, lots of landslides and road wash aways, a bit of mist & light rain, on the other side the 2 Honda's came into there own, pulling away from me, I now have a large amount of res peck for there 750cc engines, the 2 of them are like kids again when the road becomes twisty, you just see 2 bikes glued together going threw the bends & Curves as one.Arrived in the town of San Pedre Sula just before lunch, but decided to carry on to the sea and try and find a sea-food joint. In San Pedre Sula drove down the main road of about 10km's full of very American takeaway outlets, in that block we passed 3 Burger King outlets. In Puerto Cortes, our human GPS took us straight to the docks and a restaurant that reminded me a lot like "Panama Jacks" in the early 90's were the owner & his wife do everything them selfs, served us the special of the day, great line fish and some other fish which I can't remember the name. He came from Italy, fell in love with the spot and settle in Honduras a few years ago. After lunch we headed to the border and after a trouble free crossing arrived in Guatemala and spent the night in a sea side town of Puerto Barrios at a family run guest house, owner still wore a gun on his hip, lots of stories around about hold-ups & rob biers but we have only found very friendly people were every we have been and stayed.

Wow,you guys found a border crossing and a road to Puerto Barrios that do not even exist on my purchased GPS maps. Congratulations! I'll be curious to see what route you will take to Mexico or are you taking a ferry from Puerto Berrios to Belize?
Goeie reis,
