Got up early in the morning and after a nice breakfast, pack the bike and as I left the garage Jose and his wife were waiting for me in the lobby. They were here to lead me out of the city so I won't get lost again lol, and short ride later we pulled over on gas station to say our good byes and promise for future visit. Thanks again for all the help :).
Most of the landfalls and rock are cleaned right now but the roads are quite damaged specially when you get to secondary roads so I have to take it very slow at times, but I got through to border just fine.
First step was to sign out of Guatemala, the computers were down so I had to wait about 20 min or so but the process was simple and quick (10q) for passport stamp. Than I got to Honduras side and I got lucky as the immigration office was empty so that was quick ($3 tax), the bike import cost 35 dollars and there is some running around to get copies of all the papers. No problem they send a kid to show me where to get all copies done and 5bucks later I was back at the office getting all the stamps, they like the idea that I was from the same country as John Paul so for next set of copies they send the kid alone as we watched football on tv :P. All together with the wait at Guatemala side it took me just under 1.5 hours to get through the border, not to bad. ( as I was leaving a whole bus of people show up and now the line was out the door, with only one window open)
I'm in Copan Honduras right now where I fund a clean and cheap hotel, Tomorrow I will go to explore the ruins and either keep on going or stay here one more night, we'll see
Cheers
