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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Things people don’t like to talk about…
So, I learned on Tuesday that an American biker and his recent Mexican wife, Donnie and Modesta, died the day before in a motorcycle crash in Honduras. I didn’t know them personally, but had recently been in touch. Donnie, 62, was a long-time and experienced biker and had crossed North America, Mexico, and Central America […]
Days 150 – 158: Home for the Holidays
We spent all of Wednesday in our apartment and then on Thursday evening, we flew back to Vancouver to spend the holidays at home with the family. Our first day back happened to be my brother’s birthday so we had some decadent chocolate cake, rested up, and took care of some mundane, but necessary tasks. […]
Days 145 – 149: Swimming with the Fishies in Tulum
After a couple of days of doing nothing spectacular, we decided to do a day trip to Tulum on Tuesday, December 19. It is under an hour’s ride away from Playa del Carmen and is comprised of three areas: the ruins, the city, and the beach. We started our day with a visit to the ruins […]
