We were picked up at 6:30 and left at 10:00pm. I have to say I was pretty excited about it, I have never been on a sailboat before. We picked up the rest of the passengers the following morning from this island, where we were also cleared through Customs etc. We had 16 passengers and […]
Before leaving Panama we had to ride over the Bridge of the Americas – actually we ended up doing it 4x because we missed the pic stop!! Puerto Lindo is a small seaside village where we will be loading our bikes onto a catamaran. The local restaurantis very popular with the boaties, mostly from other […]
And so on to Panama…oh how it rained!!! Not continuous but two very heavy downpours. Added to that we got caught in solid rush hour traffic for ages and were just cooking in our bike gear. Was very glad to finally get to a hotel and get the rain gear and bike gear off!! We […]
You would think with the low cloud that it was cold, but not the case. We had high humidity and high temps – 32 deg by 9:30, however once on the road it felt great, it was only when we stopped that we really felt the heat. I love our coffee stop places The road […]

Honduras has a bit of a reputation and so many travellers choose to go through it in a day which is also what we plan to do. So it was an early start in the morning to get to the first border before the crowds, good plan. Approaching the border there would have been at […]
Had a late start today as it’s only a short ride to get us near the border for an early start to get through Honduras tomorrow. Went for a walk on the beach, a bit different from San Diego waterfront Here you go Mark, a fishing boat Drying maize on the road – lots of […]
Breakfast in Antigua You can tell we are out of the mountains now, all the stalls are either pineapples, bananas, coconut, or sugarcane. Our impressions of Guatemala has been amazing mountains in the Western Highlands, and quite different terrain down near the coast. It is not as clean as Mexico, a lot of rubbish around […]
