We headed to the city of Uyuni for our last weekend in Bolivia as we intended to visit the famous salt flat nearby. Despite being the most touristy city in Bolivia, Uyuni was far from impressive. It was just as filthy as the rest of the country (Bolivia is keeping up with Peru in the […]
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 […]
Our initially planned two-week stay in Medellín got extended by an additional two weeks because of some bike repairs that needed to be to be taken care of before they became hazardous. One of these repairs was to the clutch which required a part to be shipped in from the USA. The part was stuck in […]
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 […]
On Tuesday morning, we left Managua and headed to San Jorge, a small town that is just under two hours away. We were scheduled to meet up with Tim and Marisa here to catch a ferry to the island of Ometepe together. After almost an hour-long ferry ride and a pizza lunch, we parted ways […]
We left Creel after breakfast on Sunday morning and rode for about four hours before we got to Guachochi. The day was beautiful – sunny without being too hot – so the ride was pleasant. The place itself reminded us quite a bit of Yécora upon initial impression, but somehow a bit better. I guess […]
The ride from Flagstaff to Monument Valley was a fairly long one at around 3 hours, plus the break times. The day started out tolerably warm so we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery; however, by the time we reached our destination, it was cold and rainy. Monument Valley is located on a Native […]
Note: this post holds many pictures – a good internet connection may be required After a good night of rest at the Royal Inn in Perry, FL I restarted my journey toward New Orleans. The distance to “NOLA” as they call the city being close to 450 miles, I didn’t plan to do the trip in one […]
One of the first days I could ride with no load on the bike, except my tools bag in one of the side cases. I also separated my normal shoes and jeans and would use the space available in the other cases to keep my leather jacket and riding pants at destination; temperatures were indeed getting higher […]
So, today I woke up and took my shower – for the note, even though I’m usually taking a shower after my riding day, when I’m all settled, camping or motel, I still need to take a shower in the morning too to get fully awake and throw away my sleepy face 🙂 Then I […]
