Days 171 & 172: Belize City to San Ignacio and Xunantunich
We bid farewell to Belize City on Wednesday and rode towards San Ignacio, a town close to the border of Guatemala. The ride itself was just under two hours, but we stopped for lunch in the capital and had a delicious seafood pizza. We didn’t ride around Belmopan to see what the city looks like […]
Days 169 & 170: Chetumal to Belize City
On the morning of Monday, January 8, we woke up earlier than we would have liked, thanks to the blaring trumpets that seemed to be right outside our window. We later found out that the noise was thanks to the local police celebrating their ability to make noise at an ungodly hour without consequences because […]

We have added a Guides section to our blog where we share some handy travel information (based on our experience and Internet research) for each of the countries we have visited. While these guides are specifically targeted at overland travellers, we included information that should be useful to anyone interested in travelling to the listed […]
Day 168: Playa del Carmen to Chetumal and the ruins at Chacchoben
On Sunday morning, Tim and Marisa met us at our apartment, packed and ready to hit the road. After we loaded our bike, the four of us said good-bye to Playa del Carmen and headed towards the Belizean border. The plan was to visit the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben on our way, stop in Chetumal […]
Days 159 – 167: New year, new horizons
Our last few days in Playa del Carmen were very low-key, probably because we needed our bodies to thaw from snowshoeing up a snowy mountain. I have decided that Canadian winters are awesome as long as I have a blanket, a hot beverage, and am sitting in front of a fireplace. We rang in the […]
Days 133 – 139: Mérida to Cancún and a Week in Mexico’s Ultimate Beach City
On Sunday, we rode for a little over three hours from Mérida to Cancún where we rented an apartment for a week at 5,900 MXN (~397 CAD). With its palm tree-lined streets, pristine white beaches, and turquoise-blue waters, it is easy to see why so many people visit this beautiful beach city. Last year alone, the […]
Day 132: The Mayan Ruins of Chichén Itzá
Visiting the Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá was our activity for the day on Saturday. The ride was around 1.5 hours from Mérida and we arrived at the site while it was still morning. Entry tickets cost 242 pesos (~16.42 CAD) per person, which was more than what we paid at Teotihuacán, but understandably, as we saw far […]
Days 130 & 131: Campeche to Mérida and a Google Betrayal
It was a 2-hour ride on Thursday that got us from Campeche to Mérida. We rented a room through Airbnb for 413 pesos (~27.90 CAD) a night and stayed for three nights. After getting cleaned up, we went to a nearby mall for dinner and ended up watching a late screening of Justice League. It […]
