Are you a journalist?
Here, so you take a memory with you and so you can say this is the work from a friend
Very nice.
And the Tung. They are maya instruments from Guatemala
They were also produced by our ancestors, my grandfather and my father...
And so do we.
Very nice. - We don't abandon the maya culture.
What's your name? - Alvaro.
Isaías. - Pleased to meet you my friend.
Wish you good luck! - My name is Isaías...
And so you're coming on the bike from Spain?
I ended up really liking this place
I finally stayed like... 8 nights!
Finally I'm not sore anymore from the volcano.
Maybe if I didn't do that last part running I would have been feeling a little better.
Hello.
It's like I have not decided where to go until the very last minute
In fact I'm still hesitating right now.
But I think I'm going to go to Altitlán.
which is a very popular lake here
Now I have 4 days left
Got to be in Cancún on thursday!
Here I was, looking at my touristic map
And it tells me that Altitlán is
the ideal place to explore the combination between the cosmovision of the mayas
and the catholic faith
oh man!
That's where we're going!
So... into the case, we're out of here!
Here we are!
the best is that it's starting to rain
and I don't have a place to sleep, for a change.
so that would be the mission right now: to find a place.
Let's see what happens
Ciao!
And on the way there
I want to show you something. Have you ever seen
a cemetery like that one?
I think it's the strangest cemetery I've ever seen.
gooood bye
aaaand, hostel.
It's likely going to rain, and I can stay here for 3€ so...
I'm going to set up my tent right up there!
well, after this part of the road
which is the one I took to get here yesterday
comes a pretty heavy section
of 1000 and something km's until Cancún
which is where I'm going to meet with...
my sister from another mother, my confessor
my best friend... my .... my EVERYTHING!
MY EVERYTHING!!!
Helen, I'm going to meet with Helen!
And so I'm really excited about it!
She was actually coming in september to LA, which is a plan that is still active.
But she had a crazy moment and said, I want to come NOW!
I want to do something now!
So I said: Well then come to Mexico!
The goal would be to make it close to the border with Belize
so tomorrow we can quickly cross through Belize. Since Belize is pretty small.
from there we would be already at the border with Quintana Roo.
My god how this is looking...
Please, look how this road is looking.
It has some seriours holes... pfff
BUT... but!
It has some pretty good views.
So this is a pretty popular town.
which name is Chichicastenango
I'm not really focused right now because I have no f****** idea where I'm going...
excuse me, in order to...
Yes! Chiché, yes!
Turn around here, and where that bump...
Well, so my reflection is that Chichicastenango
The name if you pay attention to it
It sound a lot like "punished vagina" (sounds similar in spanish to that expression hahaha...)
Right? Chichicastenango / punished vagina
You can't deny that!
And apparently it is also very wellknown and popular
Well, I might just miss the parts of it that justify that...
I haven't seen really anything
i heaaard... that there is a really nice maaarket... on thuuuursdays and suuundays...
I don't even... Oh look a guy peeing on the street.
Don't even have time for a tour
a tour on the bike
but ok...
ey, what's up
i don't have time now to just stop and start visiting... no no no...
nononono... this is very serious
f*** with this damn town...
Excuse me for going to Chiché? - For Chiché?
I'm hoping you just loved this visit to Chichicastenango.
I think this is going to remain as the poorest visit
of this entire trip
Oh, and btw, this is a message for Guatemala:
What is wrong you with the bumps???
You're just so annoying with this!
the amount of bumps there is in this country
is just so exagerated.
every village
Every village, for as small as it might be...
has at least 5 bumps in less than one km
For a starter: they are normally not even signposted.
So if you don't pay attention you just...
ahhh, f***... aaaahhh... something has stung me!
something has stung me! something has stung mee!!
Look at them , the f****** bumps!
There's something in here man
whatever it is. It's going to die in there!
This is the punishment Guatemala has send me for complaining about the bumps.
You're so annoying with these bumps! Look, another bump!
They are so... look look... al right!
And at least this one was still kind of round shaped, some others just brake your ass!
I get all excited by myself uuuhhh
ANOTHER BUMP, COME ON!
Look, look. These guys
they are just totally mad
this is all over central America, these passenger busses.
they are MAD!
Absolutely mad.
All of them.
Ahhh... well...
I think that
once I'm over that moment...
I think I'm relieved now. I let it all out.
no. no no no. It's not a good idea
I could have dieeed
what a moment, what a weird moment
And then you always have that other guy on the side, who is the craziest of them all.
He's the one who is in charge of putting the bags up there, he goes up there as the bus drives... just crazy.
I think I have a problem!
Something is wrong with the gears.
The gears are not coming in right.
As I shift up and down it just goes into a kind of neutral
There it is. There it is.
Don't do this to me! Not now!
We have to make it to Mexico!
I don't like this one bit. I'm in a very bad location right now for this to happen.
It's not coming in... not coming in ... no
F***!!! I'm so worried right now... omg...
Things are just getting very interesting!
Something is definitely wrong with the gears.
But in the end they somehow come in.
And you see how the road is looking right now...
I barely have made 20km's in half an hour
So I'm doing a really bad average right now
And on top of it, it's so god damn hot right now.
Sowly... and we'll just make it wherever we make it today. That's it.
This pole is also starting to brake right now... wow... what a run I'm in!
What is wrong with me... it's one of those days.
I'm trying to keep calm.
I just want to remark that I'm doing an effort here.
These things just all come at once always.
How nice, that color!
Oh, damn it! I almost kill myself
I hope there's no caimans or anything strange around here
how nice!
Today is one of those days.
Like that day I destroyed my tire in Costa Rica.
more or less.
But well... at least you can not say it's ending bad
I'm here just thinking and thinking about the subject and
i don't kow...
First thing is to make it to Cancún.
tomorrow I'll wake up around 5am and leave
This is going to be my dinner today, bread with ... peanut butter.
that's it, tomorrow will be another day.
i think this is a new record!
5am!
Not sure if this can be considered an imprudence
Get out this early, when it's still dark here
Seems like the bike is shifting gears quite good for now.
Well, sun is up and it's siiiiix o cloooock and 22 minuteees...
ATTENTION! 66 km's until the border with Belize!!!
Let's goooo!
OMG, so hot...
this is country number... 12? 13?
I don't know! Belize!
It's going to be just very few hours here. I hope!
uhhhh... a little bath over there...
NOTE: The best of the 7 hours I spent in Belize
NOTE: with the support of:
NOTE: If you like what I do! Likes also help!
amazing!
I really needed this
so good
I'm going to be sweating in 5 minutes again...
