This will be the shortest write up of the longest day of 915km. We watched the sun rise at breakfast at 05:30 but the first to leave went at 06:00 and the last back in were 23:20.
After leaving the hotel we met quite thick fog only 10 km into the trip. Knowing it was a long way to go, it was ominous, but within another 20k the sun came out and sucked the fog up so quickly it could have been a vacuum cleaner.
We failed at the first detour to El Lobero; we could not find the gate so missed the views of the sea.
The small museum looked interesting but we passed at 08:30 and it did not open till 13:30!
The scenery was rolling scrub hills with cactus as tall as two storey buildings. Through the boulder fields we met an RV rally coming the other way. Odds on they do not do the Adventure Route.
Pleasant open roads with little to no traffic – a trial by distance rather than terrain.

Hola Hero!
It has taken this long for Car Seven to recuperate, or at least the non-English member of the crew who had the worst journey in the world, to get from Panama to Cape Town via New York.

La Aventura Panamericana - Day 30 blog
Today we drive from San José to El Bambito.
After a short night of rest we got up at 04.15. We had breakfast at 05.00 and left the hotel at 05.45. We drove through a dark and quiet San José. We filled our car up with diesel and drove out of the city into the mountains.

La Aventura Panamericana - Day 28 Blog
Brrrrr… Brrrrr… Brrrrr…
Who invented mobile phones that vibrate their wake up call? It is 5.45am in Tegucigalpa and the sun has not yet made its feeble awakening. We blink our weary eyes and struggle out from underneath our warm blankets. We are in Honduras at the start of Day 28 of our Central American dash.

It is nearly 06: 00 when we leave the hotel Villa Maya in Flores. Unfortunately because Arnold couldn’t believe that crocodiles are in the lake and he had to cancel his swim…!
