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 Saturday, we left Liberia and rode for about 2.5 hours to our next stop in La Fortuna, a touristy little town that happens to be close to the Arenal Volcano and the thermal Tabacón River. Our plan was to visit the Tabacón Hot Springs on Sunday and that is exactly what we did… after calculating how […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
On Friday morning, we banded together with team Notier’s Frontiers once again and rode towards Nicaragua for another border crossing day. It may be obvious, but I’d like to point out that we feel very fortunate to have met up with Tim and Marisa. Not only are they terrific people, we have a great buddy […]
Tim and Marisa met us at our hotel on Thursday morning and the four of us rode towards the border to Honduras. As we got closer to the border, we came to a line-up of cargo trucks that was about three kilometers long. After dodging some insistent “helpers” and weaving between the trucks, we were […]
