After the visit to the Starbucks farm, our following few days were uneventful and spent mostly working with a break to go see the new Tomb Raider movie at the cinema. We decided to pay a visit to the old capital of Costa Rica, Cartago, on Tuesday, March 27. The ride from the new capital […]
The plan for Friday was to visit the Volcán Poás, a 2,708-metre volcano that is an hour and a half away from San José. We embarked on our journey mid-morning and about an hour into it, we passed by a large industrial cylinder with the Starbucks logo plastered across it. Phil, being the attentive rider that […]
On Monday, March 19, we left La Fortuna and rode for almost three hours to the capital, San José, where we were stopping for the next two weeks. The first couple of days were spent as they usually are in any new city we stop in – logging in some work hours, grocery shopping, getting […]

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 […]
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 […]
