050 Cycle Touring Central America - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^36) Tela – San Pedro - 98 kilometres

After a relaxing two days, the ninety-odd kilometres to San Pedro was easy biking
on a good road. San Pedro turned out a rather substantial city. Luckily, it was
Sunday and the streets quiet.

San Pedro – Quimistan - 63 kilometres

After our morning cuppa, provided free at our guesthouse, we proceeded up the
western mountains of Honduras. It seemed the road to Guatemala would again be
through a mountainous region. We slowly headed up the valley which looked fertile,
judging by the number of fruit vendors. Further up the mountain, a bamboo pipe
squirted cool, crystal-clear water—perfect on a blistering hot day. Rolling into the
small village of Quimistan around midday, we discovered accommodation offering a
TV allowing us to watch the Olympics.
