Days 381 – 392: A lake, two cities, and a border town

Upon hearing about the beautiful colonial city of Cuenca, we knew that this was one place we needed to visit before leaving Ecuador so, after spending a great week in Quito, we headed south. Since the road to Cuenca is an 8-hour ride, we split the journey into two trips with a stop in the […]

Days 237 & 238: Liberia to La Fortuna and a day at the Tabacón Hot Springs

On Saturday, we left Liberia and rode for about 2.5 hours to our next stop in La Fortuna, a touristy little town that happens to be close to the Arenal Volcano and the thermal Tabacón River. Our plan was to visit the Tabacón Hot Springs on Sunday and that is exactly what we did… after calculating how […]

Day 233: Managua to the island of Ometepe

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 […]

Days 225 – 231: A day in León and a failed attempt to see the Laguna de Apoyeque

Our second week in Managua was not a lot more eventful than the previous one as we spent most of our time staying out of the 35°C+ heat that just did not seem to want to take a break. We did manage to go out for a movie and saw Red Sparrow on Wednesday, but […]

Days 199 – 210: Our last days in Antigua Guatemala and a day trip to Panajachel

Our last few days in Antigua Guatemala mostly involved staying in, working, and binge-watching Netflix. We did go out one day to the viewpoint of the city followed by a nice pizza lunch and another day to meet up with Bob and Doug – two motorcycle travellers with whom Phil had connected with and arranged […]

Day 113: Puebla to Orizaba

  On the morning of Monday, November 13, after breakfast with our host, we were on our way to our next stop, Orizaba. The ride was a short one at just over two hours and because the day was nice, we got to see the Citlaltépetl or Pico de Orizaba on the way. It is the […]

Days 103 – 111: Our Last Week in Mexico City and Journey to Puebla

  Our initial plan of staying in Mexico City for six weeks got extended by another week because we love this city so much and there was some work to be done. Work is exactly what we did for the whole week with just a dinner in a neighbourhood restaurant and a little trip to […]
