Days 514 – 584: Uruguay to Argentina and the end of the journey

As far as border crossings have been on this trip, it seems like the forces of the universe saved the best for last; the crossing from Uruguay to Argentina on December 19 took about five minutes before we were riding into Argentina to finish our journey. Details are on our Border Crossings page for all […]

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 260 – 274: Chitré to Panama City and the rainy season

Our last two days in Chitré were spent lounging by the pool and logging in work hours, and then on Wednesday, April 11, we did the 3-hour ride to our last stop in Central America – Panama City. We were happy to make it to our next home for the month; however, what we didn’t realize was […]

Day 38: The Historic Beauty of Morelia

After breakfast on our first morning, we stayed in our room to do some work. We have been doing that quite a lot recently, since we both had quit our full-time salaried jobs before hitting the road and would like to dip into our savings as little as possible. That’s why we have come up […]

Day 26: Exploring Creel

We had planned to visit the Copper Canyon on our first morning in Creel; however, after seeing rain in the forecast, we decided to post-pone the trip to the following day. Instead, after breakfast, we decided to explore Creel since it seemed like a charming little town. Perhaps this is due to the fact that […]

Day 25: Yécora to Basaseachic Falls to Creel

We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning. After cold showers (no hot water for the morning) and some coffee at a nearby Oxxo (Mexican convenience store chain, similar to 7-11 in North America), we were on the road at around 8:30 AM. The drive from Yécora to Basaseachi was incredible. The weather was finally […]

Days 20 & 21: Rainy Banámichi

Our weekend in Banámichi was spent mostly working and helping our hosts with their website. We shot some footage of the hotel and surrounding area, and will be putting those up on our YouTube channel once they’re ready. Phil also went for a ride in the afternoon on Saturday with Tom and they crossed the Rio […]

Day 14: Breaking Bad in Albuquerque

We started our first morning in Albuquerque a bit later than usual, but with the usual breakfast at Starbucks. We decided to spend the day doing a Breaking Bad tour so we looked up all the shooting locations of the show and visited the ones we wanted to see. We were successful in finding some […]

Day 36+37: Nov. 26-27 – Yuma to San Diego, CA

As I was checking out from the motel, I met two French guys in the parking lot who were going in the opposite direction. One of them was apparently living in the States (L.A. – I think) and had his own bike, a BMW. The other one was visiting for a couple of weeks around the region and […]

Day 6: Thursday, Oct. 27th – Reno, NV to BigPine, CA

Left Reno around 8:30am, happy to see my bike was still on the parking lot of the hotel. Just before leaving the room, I had taken a few pictures from the foggy/dirty window. The ride started pretty well, with a gorgeous view on Washoe Lake. A little after that I was passing the hell’s gate… And I […]
