2 Up and Overloaded…

So, if you remember, when we travelled to Yucatan we ended meeting Tim and Marisa, in Playa del Carmen, and a few days later we crossed the border to Belize together. Tim and Marisa have eventually become some of our best friends, and we have traveled along and crossed other borders through Central America together, […]

New Video: Central America II

We have a new video up on our YouTube channel of our time travelling through the Central American countries of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂

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 […]

Day 236: Nicaragua to Costa Rica

We met up with our friends, Tim and Marisa, on Friday for another border crossing day. It was time to bid farewell to the heat of Nicaragua and journey to the cooler weather of the lush mountainous regions of Costa Rica. Beaches are nice enough, but the accompanying temperatures are not so comfortable. Time for […]

Days 234 & 235: Ometepe to San Juan del Sur

Wednesday morning, we took the ferry from Ometepe back and rode the rest of the way to San Juan del Sur where we were stopping for the next two nights. It is a coastal town on the Pacific side of Nicaragua that is very popular with surfers and tourists. Unsurprisingly, price tags were higher than […]

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 […]

Day 232: Celebrating a very special human in Managua

Monday, March 12, was a very special day because it was our favourite biker’s milestone birthday. We stayed in most of the day and went out only around noon to pick up his birthday cake, which fell victim to the 40°C weather. Some damage control was done; however, the writing on the cake that said […]

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 223 & 224: A hot weekend and a day in Granada

We took a ride to Granada, a city of rich colonial heritage that is an hour from Managua, on Saturday. The city is located by Lake Cocibolca so, we decided to start our day of exploration from the lakeside area. The entrance area was nice; however, the rest was unremarkable. We stopped for lunch at a […]

Days 218 – 222: Estelí to Managua and our first week in Nicaragua’s capital

On Monday, February 26, the four of us loaded our respective bikes, once again, and set off for another day of travelling, but no border crossings this time. It was a hot day and around three hours to Managua, where Phil and I were staying for two weeks. Our first days in the city were […]
