We finished off another rainy week in Panama City with a visit to the Canal de Panamá (Panama Canal) on Sunday, May 6. The Panama Canal is an impressive 77 km artificial waterway that runs through Panama, connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. The entry was 30 USD (~38 CAD) and we started our visit with […]
For the next two weeks, we did what we do best and occupied ourselves in productive ways while waiting for another dry day in Panama City so we could go out an do some more sight-seeing. We clocked in quite a bit of work hours, ran some bike-related errands, and had an array of home-cooked food […]
On our second Tuesday in Panama City, we decided to take a chance and go out to do some exploring, rain or shine. We had not seen any rain that day and the weather forecast (not that we always trust it) looked promising. The old quarter, Casco Viejo, comes with the highest recommendation of things […]
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel of our time travelling through the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂
Our last two days in Chitré were spent lounging by the pool and logging in work hours, and then on Wednesday, April 11, we did the 3-hour ride to our last stop in Central America – Panama City. We were happy to make it to our next home for the month; however, what we didn’t realize was […]
Since we were stopped in Chitré for a few days and there wasn’t much to do within the city itself, we decided to do a day trip to Pedasí, a coastal town that is about 1.5 hours to the south of Chitré, on Sunday. The day was hot, but the ride was pleasant as the road was nice […]
On Monday, April 2, we bid farewell to San José and started to make our way towards Panama with our first stop being in San Isidro de El General, a small city that was a three-hour ride away. This was one of our less enjoyable rides as we had a scare with the bike early in our […]
Our last few days in San José were uneventful, aside from a day trip to Zarcero on Thursday. Zarcero is a small city that is about two hours away from the capital and is known for its topiary garden at the Parque Francisco Alvarado. The garden sits in front of the Iglesia de San Rafael in the city center and […]
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 […]
