Days 173 – 174: Belize to Guatemala and the ruins at Tikal

On Friday morning, we left San Ignacio and headed to the Guatemalan border with team Notier’s Frontiers. The crossing was fast and easy for team Riding Around the World as we had made photocopies of all our documents beforehand. I had actually copied the wrong page of Phil’s International driver’s license (oops!), but the border […]

Day 144: The Pink Lakes of Las Coloradas

We decided to do a day trip to Las Coloradas on Thursday since we still wanted to see some pink lakes despite the Laguna Rosada fail a couple of weeks earlier. So we rode for about 3.5 hours and, lo and behold, we found the pink lakes! It wasn’t as bright of a pink that […]

Day 120: Cruising Through the Sumidero Canyon

On Monday, November 20, we went to explore the Sumidero Canyon, which is located just North of Tuxtla Gutiérrez and was about a 20-minute ride from our accommodation.

The origin of the city’s founders is uncertain; however, what is known is that the area was a large urban center around 1,000 years before the Aztecs, and the city was already […]

Day 27: Thursday, Nov. 17 – Perry to Panama City Beach, FL

Note: this post holds many pictures – a good internet connection may be required After a good night of rest at the Royal Inn in Perry, FL I restarted my journey toward New Orleans. The distance to “NOLA” as they call the city being close to 450 miles, I didn’t plan to do the trip in one […]

Day 25: Tuesday, Nov. 15 – Homestead to Fort Myers, FL

3h55 would be the duration of this day’s trip if I didn’t stop, but I stopped a few times during the day, as usual. The road for that trip went through the Everglades, a wild region covered with swamps where several touristic stops offer airboat excursions over the swamps. I hesitated but decided not to do these, […]
