Guatemala 🇬🇹

Amigo 🌵! Im doing around the world.
 
 
Temperature is 18 ℃, the weather is sunny → rain
 
 
Currency → 1quezal🇬🇹 → 15yen🇯🇵 → 0.1US $ 🇺🇸
 
 
It is a day late.


I came, Guatemala!
 
 
Departing at 10:00 am in the morning it is until BENQUE. I thought that I should go by bus, but I will choose a taxi as it goes to the border.
 
 
Going to the border walking from the bus stop of BENQUE seems to need to get a share taxi. When going from San Ignacio, this one is better.
 
 
I figured out thing because I got  taxi again. There is a foreigner fee. The local people seem to take 2.5 $ and foreigners take 5 $.
 
 
I arrived at the border. As the exchange old man  comes closer And say , "I have only a change of money here, will you exchange money?"

 

I will ask.
 
 
I have a Mexican peso left so I want to change it, how much? I heard that 100 pesos → 26 quetzal.
 
 
Laugh with hahahaha so crazy cruel rates.
 
 
Coz the basic is 100 pesos → 37 (͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)
 
 
I specially made it to 30! Although he upped rate, that's not good for me!!
 
 
I hope ATMs put at the border as soon as possible. . .
 
 
For the time being, I am going to follow it for the time being, so I ignore it and head for Stanstar Immigration.

Departure tax is here.

40 B$. That's better than Mexican fucking departure tax.
 
 
I end up with Sue and Imigure and talk to the money changer again.
 
 
This is a special rate! Why not!?
 
 
Somehow there! I'm not a student (A lie)!
 
 
It is useless. This can not be yielded.
 
 
There! ask!
 
 
Ha ha ha ! wow no ~ ww
 
 
I can not proceed with this feeling. . . It is frustrating but I have to go with this garbage rate. lost. . .
 
 
I will write it later but from the border I went to the city with a hitch and no need to change the exchange here.
 
 
Oh, it might be better to do here if you were going to change from Guatemalan Immigray and you did not have the opportunity to exchange it (I could not find it).
 
 
Immigration check also ends crisply and steps into Guatemala. Noshinoshi.

When turning to Gas-station left it is said that there is a taxi to get there. But I found hitching Packer Packer!
 
 
Two French women. Hitch together!
 
 
We could caught in 5 minutes! Women packer is advantageous after all.
 
 
From the border to the city as Flores.
 

 
 
There is a bus that goes to Guatemala City from there.
 
 
But!
 
 
This may be possible! And challenge with Hitch! That distance 483 km! It is almost the same as Tokyo → Osaka!
 
 
Stay on the road quickly and thrust your thumbs upside-down Hey! 👍👍👍
 
 
Everyone did 👍or I'm sorry I'm here or the mystery passing! the reaction is good, I thought.
 
 
About 15 minutes to get the first one !!
 
 
We only have 50 km, can You get on?
 
 
Of course it is! ! Thanks! !
 
 
Take the wind with the loading platform and move forward. This is probably going to be done! What? And inflate pale expectations.

I waved his hand to the overtaking car, appealing with a funny guy.
 
 
The car stopped in a small town. Gracias! !
 
 
I ate Pita like moon cake as food and  hitch again.
 
 
It stopped immediately soon and said "Vamos!" The name is carlos. As I can speak a little English, when I talk, I have two wifes, one in Guatemala and another in the USA.
 
 
Is not it a surprising playboy?
 
 
More surprisingly, two children in Guatemala, three in the United States.
 
 
((((; ゚ Д ゚)))))))
 
 
I wonder if they are rich ... I love a hitch! Because I can meet strange people!!
 
 
And at around 5 o'clock in the evening I came to a small town called poptún in the mountains.
 
 
It is pitch dark and it is not a hitch place and it gets pretty impatient.
 
 
 
Ha ha!
 
 
 
die.
 
 
 
Hitch's trip finished with a total of 100 km ... There were another 400 km ...
 
 
One hitch virgin discarded it in Guatemala, but it is a failure. . .
 
 
Than such a thing! ! I have to figure out how to go to Guatemala City!
 
 
 
I went to a little big bus stop in the neighborhood, the guy said "the long distance bus stop is not here. Tuk-tuk (I'm running!) I took you in 5 pips"
 
 
Er! I don't have money ... a passerby's aunt asked, "What's happened?" Talking about the circumstances, so she took me there. They are too kind and Guatemalans.
 
 
The distance is 50 m.
 
 
It is 9 seconds if you are bolt.
 
 
Talk there and the bus will arrive at 12 o'clock. It is safe if you give the driver directly to the driver.
 
 
OK !! Secure the bus.
 
 
Just go to a camera shop nearby coz the bus terminal did not Wi - Fi. Asked "Do you have Wi - Fi? He said "It's okay" immediately. And he gave me water.
 
 
Guatemalan is not a good person too? How kind  * · ゚ ゚ · *:: ......: * · '(* ゚ ▽ ゚ *)' · *: ... ...: * · ゚ ゚ *
 
 
I saw that the bus arrived at 8 o'clock but it was slightly expensive but I wanted to get there soon so I decided to get on. Thank you for the camera shop owner!
 
 
Early in the morning 5:00 am, arrived at the host 's house in Guatemala City!
 
 
A long way to go ... just because Guatemalan is a nice guy this trip will be fun!
 
 
YOLO !!
