After the Tikal Ruines at El Remate on the way to Rio Dulce and then aventually out of Guatamala City....into the picturous Antigua!

First things first...before the petrol problems....

Out of El Remate on the way we slept over at Rio Dulce. We arrived late in Rio Dulce but were surprised with the nice view of the lake...supper was good. All four of us shared a room for the first time.




We fix the bike with roomies (Byron's) extra fuel pump and its running like a dream again. .Not sure if the old baby(BMW) would have done the same...ha ha


We decided to push through to Antigua and arrived after dark. We couldn't find accomodatrion as there was a festival on the go which included many weddings. Fortunately the owner of Maria's Hotel (Maria herself) came to our rescue, vasically because we were parked in her driveway and she saw the South African flag stickers on our bikes and her daughter had been to S.A. and given fabulous feedback. She put us up for the night at half price which was $60.00 per double room instead of $125.00. including breakfast. From the roof of the hotel we could see the active volcano.

Antigua is definitief 'n moet op elke ou se lys vir plekke om te besoek. Dit is 'n eietydse ou klein dorpie met strate van klip en outydse hotelle, restaurante. Basies 'n Venice sonder water....ongelooflik mooi. Dit is omring met berge (so eintlik die hele Gautamala) so dit is voor die hand liggend watse lekker rit dit weer uit die dorp was met al die draaie...





From this hotel. we went to this the following evening
