We start at 7.30 in a light morning fog. When the fog disappears we are driving under the bright sun of Mexico. Along the road to El Fuerte, we see very old trees and we are amazed about them. As we enter into El Fuerte we are surprised about the nice Plaza de Armas. We walk around and take some pictures from this old centre witch is real Spanish. When we approach the mountains, the gravel begins and also the dust. We pass several small water crossings. Then we saw many nice view points and sometimes you could see the other side of the valley where the road twisted upon the mountain. Our cars are passed several times by a very good rider on his motorbike. On a curve he stops, and we too. We ask him if he has problems. Indeed, but at that moment he discovers our flat tire. With the help of this nice man of Mexico, and our Dutch friends, we manage to get the spare wheel on. Without a spare, we decide to cancel the detour to the Urique Canyon. After a good drive, we arrive about 17.30 at the special hotel Barrancas Mirador. It is cold outside, but the room and the atmosphere are very warm. We go to the bar.
Greetings Do and Els

La Aventura Panamericana - Day 31 blog
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…!
