Tuesday 24th June 2025 Not the best of meals last night, both tired so had a takeaway subway thing and Bingo had similar, not great but at least it filled us up, then made our way back to the hostel, we had arranged a whatsapp chat with Deb, must say we did feel better after the chat. The family back home are doing a sterling job, it's just so difficult when you are miles away and feel so helpless. Not a great night's sleep for me, tossing and turning thinking about how Steve is getting on, keep trying to say to myself, he is in the best place, try and  relax, easier said than done. Positive news in the morning, Steve has arrived at St Thomas and is responding to the treatment, great news. Forced some breakfast down, that is unlike me, but did manage to eat it all.. Look on the Brightside of life, only 40 miles to do today with a little border crossing San Salvador to Guatemala, nothing can go wrong. On the road at 5:45, it took a bit of time catching up on family business, nothing to do with being lazy honestly. Straight on the pace Guatemala here we come, easy riding, eating up the miles at a cracking pace before we know we have covered over 30 miles, still only 08:00. Stop for a coffee and soft drink at Cara Sucia, check the messages all good, so push on, only 15 miles or so to the border. Still easy riding, but does seem eerily quiet, not like most roads to borders, no worries crack on. Then came to the town El Gulsnay normal border town chaos but still 5 miles from the border, got out of there as quick as we could, then the border. Always bit nervous, never know what to expect, thankfully this time as smooth as silk, flied through the San Salvador part, then on to the Guatemala side, best immigrations lady so far, only took 5 minutes to do both of us, if it wasn't for the security, sure Bingo was going to ask for a date, maybe next time. So what we going to do now then, have a soft drink, it's only 10, sort out some options, let's push on a bit maybe another 25 miles or so, good plan need some Guatemala money, soon found a bank, but no ATM, all sorted in a while we are off into a new country. Get out of the border town Pedro de Alvarado, we reckon there is a hotel in 25ish miles lets go, push on and go fast, both of us riding like the wind, or it could have been flatulence with all the soft drinks we have been having, anyway it made us ride. First bit down as I was counting down the miles, no need to stop. I have a cunning plan. We keep riding. I know there is a little village before the town with the hotel, like a little oasis. It comes into vision, I take the front, beer stop I shout. Sure enough a little shop with two midget stools outside got to be good for a beer, all hot and sweaty, goes inside the shop, looks at the fridge, can't believe it they only have Corona, well that will have to do, three bottles later I recall me saying quite like it now! only because it was ice cold. Little ride down to the hotel, nice place but the service is very slow, little swim in pool, something to eat that took and age, catch up with the family and Steve's progress, seems like he is heading in the right way, lovely chat with Lyle, who has been the king pin today, visited Steve in London, then relayed all the reports back, good lad. The family back home have been nothing short of marvelous, visiting Steve and my Mum, it's been so humbling being this far away, but they still have time to cheer us on, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Hopefully tomorrow, I will have a few shillings for the jukebox. Then shower, shave and eat again and bed, after the relevantly good news today, I think I will sleep better. Good night.
