Our first day in Guatemala began with driving on what was supposed to be a bad muddy road. Locals told us this road was horrible because of all the rain fall but once we were on it it wasn't too bad. If a car can drive on it then a dirt bike is no problem at all. The dirt lasted about an hour and then it switched to nice pavement. Our goal was to get to Rio Dulce but we fell short a few kms. After a long days of driving we stopped at a restaurant on the side of the road, had some food , beer and a nice chit chat with a seventy five year old man who was a little drunk. We kindly asked the owners if we could camp in the back yard and they said no problem. It was getting a little dark so we didn't want to chance driving at night. The next morning we woke at 5 am to chickens walking around our tent barking their heads off to let everyone know what time it was. It's time to get up. So we got up and had some coffee and b - fast and hit the road to Rio Dulce. We heard there was a "Castillo" of some sort there and we thought we'd check it out. but that ment leaving the bikes all packed up in a parking lot with someone else looking after them which we weren't to fond of. But we took a chance and did it anyways, we took our cameras and passports along and hoped for the best for the rest of our things. We didn't stay too long but long enough to visit every room in the castle and take a few pics. We got back to the bikes and it was all good. Everything was still in place just as we left it.
