Choluteca to Copan Ruinas

344 Miles

Total PanAm Miles 11,010

Another hot and humid day, the temperature peaked at 39.5 degrees! The roads were quite good but there are allot of small towns to go through which slows thing up. After refuelling we were just about to set off when Nigel noticed his rear tyre was flat. This delayed us for about an hour or so. We got a little lost in one of the towns but were soon on the right road. It was quite slow progress today, allot of winding roads and villages to go through.

Jason had a problem with his bike; whilst using his side stand to break the bead on Nigel’s tyre it bent slightly making his bike unstable on the side stand. At the next fuel stop his stand snapped and the bike fell over! That was not the only thing to snap; Martin was not impressed because Nigel and I had stopped without signalling to Martin or Jason. We were all tired and hot with still 60 miles to go to the hotel. We eventually arrived at 6pm. Copan Ruinas is a lovely little town with cobbled streets and a town square. Off to the border with Guatemala tomorrow for more fun and games.
