A slow start, still trying to get used to the time difference and altitude. Ambled around Antigua taking snaps.
More climbing on steep hills up to the Pan American Highway. Pure hell. About 2 km on a plateau followed by a quick almost uncontrollably fast downhill, then more hell cycling uphill. Barely got out of our lowest gears all day!
Camped next to a washed out bridge at the bottom of an especially beautiful valley.
We're only managing 50 km per day; most of them seeming to be uphill hell.
