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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
On Tuesday, February 6, we decided to visit the chocolate museum that we used to walk by every day when we were taking Spanish language classes. The ChocoMuseo is a 15-minute walk from our apartment in Antigua Guatemala so, we walked there after lunch. We wanted to do the workshop where they teach you about the agriculture […]
