Tikal to El Pino, Honduras

I got an early wake up call  in Tikal, they offer this early morning, 04:00 MY GOD tour start. No I did not go one it but my neighbor did and I heard his alarm clock go off for a while. When I finally got up it was foggy/cloudy, so I was glad I did not go on this trip to see the sunrise and hear the Fauna early in the morning. After breakfast I headed over and went walking around. They really had opened the gates now, there were people everywhere. I climbed to the top of temple Two, which they have nicely provided wooden stairs to climb up. Nice view and sure of the main square. Then it was off to temple 4 which is the only other one they will let you climb. Along the way I came across the Window temple and it is not very much marked or such but I went up anyway. All the doorways are blocked and I managed to find my way in one and took a picture inside and got a bit of a fright as something started to fly around. That was when the other sigh I saw came back to mind, Bat temple.
I then made my way to Temple 4 and again was happy for the wooden stairs. When I got to the top the view was magnificent, until this time I did not really think this was any better than Copan in Honduras. This made it better.
I met a fellow there that was riding a bike and when I spoke to him I found out he had the same bike but a 2013 model and has been on the road for 7 months. Road from Durango Mexico, where he is from to Ushuaia, Argentina. He then road up the eastern side and then north again. Looking forward to getting home by the sound of it.
Later I noticed another rider, I have only seen four people so far this whole trip and today I meet two in one day!! This guy is from Toronto and riding a 1150 BMW. He had come down from there, a bit cold as he was in Houston about the time I was and it was cold then.
That night I talked to two people who were back packing around down there and just enjoying themselves. So nice to see.
The next morning I was up early and pack and off I go. The lady from the hotel seems to figure I won't make it today but I was going to try, watch for the semi drivers she said. Interesting sign on the highway, animals you don't normally see signs for.
I start to look for bass as the GPS give a long way to the first station, well it was wrong again and I was able to fillup and off I go.
I made it to my final border crossing and almost blew through it. The Guatemala side was barely a shack on the side of the road. Then I found out the customs was back a bout 8 Km's and I did blow right through that one. No signage! I go back and clear out the bike and then off to the Honduran Border then. It is about 15 Km's from the Guatemala border office.
This looks like a border crossing. Immigration is easy then it is off to the Aduana office and it is lunch time so it is closed.
After the guy has finished his lunch he returns and then it is the hardest challenge to find enough paper to keep this guy happy. Three copies of everything, the most so far has been 1, The he was not happy that I had cancelled out of Guatemala. He took my Mexican forms and made that work. The title does not mention the model of the bike so that was problem, we over came. then when everything else was done he needed three copies of all of this stuff. The closest place is just about a block away at the Hotel in front of the police stop. Got that done and the moneys paid and off I go again.
The last challenges for me was coming into San Pedro Sula and the toll gate, I thought the guy was going to have a coronary trying to get me to go around and not through the toll gate. OK so you don't want me to pay, OK by me. The next one going out of San Pedro Sula I just followed the other moto's and all was great.
I was about 1 hour later than I had planned but for me that is right on time.
I am home!!
Hell Yeah.
