A lazy start at our luxury poolside camping spot, followed by a great coffee and too much internetting. Cycled about 1km to the lakeside dock for small boat ferries to the lakeside villages and towns. Most tracks around the lake are tough for walkers let alone cyclists. From San Pedro La Laguna the road is almost fully paved to San Marcos so we ventured that far on our saddles. Challenging in places but not too taxing.
San Marcos was a bit claustrophobic and metaphysical for our liking but we‘d agreed to meet up with fellow cycle tourers who we'd met on the route there earlier that day. Great cheap food with corn pancakes, beans and salads for less than $1 made us warm to the place.
Camped in the yard of a friendly hostel away from the lake and slept fitfully to the nighttime chorus of dogs barking.
