Guatemala

I am now in Nicaragua. Biked through Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras around 900km on 7 days. So I am right now more than extremely tired, that means extremely extremely tired, haha!

This two small "tops" is volcanoes, Volcano de Fuego 3760 meters high and Volcano de Agua 3765 meters high.

It is many of them in Central America.

The night at the police station

I came so late after the dark to this little town. I was really tired and I couldn´t see any hotel or any good places to camp. So I just went to the police station and asked some police officers to sleep outside. No problemo amigo!

Hope you can see the police car behind, protecting the gas station and my tent during the night.

Juan 3,16

"For such a high level has God loved world, that he gave his son, the only begotten, for that every one that has faith in him, not shall perish, but have eternal life."

Where is the rest of the road?

Because of a hurricane and lot of rain the night before, the road stopped here.

So I have to carry my belongings and the bike over the river that destroyed the road.

This is from end of the Mexico.

dead meat

I see lot of dead animal along the road. Animals not so smashed like these two, but also animals so smashed that I can´t see what animal it is. It really look bad and smells bad too.

This dog was just hit by a car just before I came. During the night a truck will drive over it, because the driver can´t see the dog on the road when is dark. Then you can imagine how this will look after and smell the day after when the sun is coming.

The snake looked like it was alive, and it had just eaten something because it was so big in the middle. Really nasty! I am so glad I am not camping so much out in the wilderness.

I bike around 80-100km every day and see around 10-15 dead animals. You multiple that with around 5100km I have biked so far. That means lot of dead meat.

Me and Obama in Mexico

First artwork I have seen along the road in Central America. This is from a bus stop.

Perestroika is a russian word and it means: "restructuring", referring to the restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system.

Done by former president Mikhail Gorbachev. I guess this artist mean Obama will do the same.
