The border crossing into Canada was the most comprehensive crossing of the whole trip. Why are you coming into Canada? Where are you staying? What is your itinerary? Where you refused admission to any of the countries on your trip? Do you have insurance for your bikes for the period you will be in Canada? […]

Heaven on Mexican Highway 16
Texas was fun but being back in the US was far too easy. Well most times. Having crossed from Mexico our first stop in the US had been a gas station to buy a chilled bottle of water. “Sorry Ma’am, but we can’t sell you any water just now. Our system has crashed and we […]
Boondoggled in Houston
Tedious Texas. The roads have grown steadily worse since leaving Mexico as we ride around the Gulf Coast. Big straight Interstates that are quite simply chloroform in concrete. Our butts twitch with discomfort as we fidget to find a comfortable perch for the next lot of oblivious miles. No wonder Texans drawl. We figured it […]
Fear & Loathing in Mexico City – The Adventurers Return
You don’t want to go anywhere near the place. It’s so very dangerous. People get mugged, robbed, raped, murdered or any combination of the above you care to chose from. Taxi crime. Only take cars from licensed taxi stands, otherwise you might be another victim dropped off dead or alive down a dark alley in […]
Paradise Part III
On to Belize – British Colony up until 1981, still has the Queen’s head on the bank notes today. We put into the delightful little town of San Ignacio, not far from the border, where we checked in to the Pacz Guesthouse. It was a treat to go ask for a room in English again, […]
Maggie’s Birthday at Tikal
We dragged ourselves reluctantly away from Finca Ixobel, our 1 night stop already run into 3 with the temptation to stay another day or two very, very strong! But thankfully we had a greater attraction to draw us away – the Mayan ruins at Tikal. It was coming up to Maggie’s birthday and we figured […]
The Middle of the World; Boobies and ‘Ah Fek’ Lava in the Fabulous Galapagos Islands!
We liked Quito! We had a home of our own for the duration courtesy of big Chris and a full schedule to mark the end of our days in South America. The equator lies a few kilometres north of Quito and is marked by 2 visitor / tourist sites at ‘Mitad Del Mundo’. First, there […]
Cusco
It was a great ride from Puno to Cusco through more mountains with that old world Celtic feel to them, a twisty road that loved to play and had us arriving in the Inca capital with huge grins on our chops. Cusco is an amazing city, surrounded by more mountains than you could shake a […]
Puno, Uros Reed Islands of Titicaca, Aftermath At Ilave, On to Cusco!
We had a day of rest in Puno where we booked up for another boat trip out on to the lake to see the famous floating reed islands – the Uros – and on to Taquile one of the bigger Peruvian islands. It was a great way to unwind after all the uncertainty and stress […]
Copacabana, Isla Del Sol, Joining the Gringo Trail, A Bit of Politics, Trouble Ahead in Peru and the Benediction of the Vehicles
In the end the strike in La Paz seemed to pass peacefully. Well anyway, we saw no sign of it in this delightful little haven of Copacabana. We spent a great 5 nights here just taking in the lake and the surrounding area. One day we took an all day boat excursion out to the […]
