Today we wanted to get some exercise and see some country so yesterday we booked a bicycle tour at Old Town Outfitters. When we booked it was only the 2 of us, however by the morning there were 4 cyclists. Brian, a firefighter/Paramedic from Seattle volunteering in Guat. City teaching Bombero's (firefighters), Bojan, a German roofer, and Adrian and I. We were oldest. And slowest. But the wisest :)

We cycled approximately 23km through several small villages and lots of countryside. We saw chicken buses being modified to the Guatemala Standards (colourful). Many fried chicken stands, an organic Macadamia Nut Finca (farm) & several street markets.
We left Antigua at around 9:15 and we were back around 1:00, exhausted and ready for beers! After rehashing the trip with our new friends, we headed for lunch and a quick siesta!
Siesta over, we headed to Hectors restaurant, (very well rated on tripadvisor) for supper. It was rated high for a reason, it was delicious!
