Days 508 – 513: Brazil to Uruguay and going coastal

The border crossing from Brazil to Uruguay was reasonably fast, but we did lose more time than needed because we accidentally entered Uruguay before exiting Brazil so we had to go back before proceeding. Not that we have any plans to return to Brazil in the near future, but we did get a visa for […]

Days 436 – 446: Peru to Bolivia and its incredible cities

On Tuesday, October 2, we had a 2-hour ride from the town of Puno to the border crossing for Bolivia. We stopped on the way to take a look at Lake Titicaca, but we didn’t have a good viewpoint and just our cell phones so we didn’t the greatest picture. Boo hoo for us. Lake […]

Day 300: History and shiny things in La Candelaria

For our first Saturday in Bogotá, the plan was to explore La Candelaria, the historic neighbourhood of the city’s downtown area where the country’s capital was founded in 1538. The neighbourhood is very popular with local and foreign tourists due to its colourful colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and numerous attractions.   Our first stop was Plaza Bolívar, […]

Days 295 – 299: Panama to Colombia and our first week in Bogotá

On the morning of Monday, May 14, we headed to the airport with our worldly belongings to fly to the next country and continent on our itinerary. Our trip was relatively seamless, other than the nonsensical 107 USD we had to pay for excess luggage. We used Copa Airlines and their luggage allowance was two […]

Our favourite places in Central America

Before delving into our favourite places in Central America, I would like to call attention to the fact (as obvious as it may be) that everyone travels differently. Phil and I enjoy exploring cities, meeting different types of people (preferably those without psychopathic traits), learning about the history and culture of the place we are […]

Days 288 – 294: Preparing for take-off!

Our last week in Panama was a rainy one (surprise!), but we didn’t have much planned in the way of sight-seeing. A few visits to the mall and a date night was all we did aside from packing. We planned to put the bike on a plane and fly over the Darien Gap since we […]

Days 276 – 286: Dodging rain and doing stuff

For the next two weeks, we did what we do best and occupied ourselves in productive ways while waiting for another dry day in Panama City so we could go out an do some more sight-seeing. We clocked in quite a bit of work hours, ran some bike-related errands, and had an array of home-cooked food […]
