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 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 […]
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 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 Monday, February 19, the four of us loaded all our worldly belongings on our respective bikes and said goodbye to Antigua Guatemala as we headed towards the border to El Salvador. The ride was just under three hours and the border crossing was surprisingly painless. We have added a Border Crossings section to our […]
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 […]
Our primary purpose for staying in Antigua Guatemala for a month was to take Spanish immersion classes. We have repeatedly been told that Guatemala is one of the best places to learn Spanish as Guatemalans are reputed to speak incredibly clear Spanish and options for classes are cheap and plentiful. We waited until Phil was […]
