Ramon, Roar, and Lucila planning our off road route in Guatemala City
On the roads from Guatemala City to Escuipulas, Guatemala
It’s common for people to get their vehicles decorated in Esquipulas so we tried to blend in, too. I rigged up [...]

Nicaragua
Thanks Alexis for the comment. Thanks to everybody else who has posted as well. It’s nice to get feedback….
It was great riding with the Swedes yesterday through Honduras. It’s always fun riding in a group and it reminds me of riding bicycles with a gang of friends when you were a kid. The variety of [...]

Honduras
We’re in Tegucigalpa, Honduras now. After crossing the border and seeing the wonderful ruins at Copán (where I took lots of photos that I can’t upload now hehe) we sort of followed a couple of Swedes we met at the border crossing, Ulrich and Olvar (if I mis-spelled their names i don’t care… they’re only [...]

Random Observations
We’ve done a lot of miles by now and I’ve found out that…
Traffic lights and road markings are only suggestions… I’ve run more red lights, gone against more one-way streets and ignored more ‘rules of the road’ in two weeks than in my entire life so far. The crazy thing is that is works! I [...]

Change of Travel Style
The pace of our trip has slowed considerably. Initially, this was supposed to be an entirely South American motorcycle trip but we had to change that. From the beginning I just wanted to get through Central America as fast as I could so that we could spend more time in South America, but I’ve changed [...]

Google Map
Torg has made a Google map for us, thanks Torg!

And as far as partying and riding goes we don’t party too hard when we’re riding the next day. In any case, Guatemala shuts down at 1 am so we’re in bed by 2.

Lots of Pics
(Note: A lot of these full size pictures got chopped. To see the full pic just click on it.)
We’re currently in Antigua, Guatemala, a picturesque colonial town with beautiful, old buildings with huge, garden like courtyards and bumpy cobblestone streets. We’ll be here for a whole day (no bike riding!) of rest and relaxation.
Here are [...]

Overview
I’m going to change my focus so that we can all stay in real time. I’ll write a quick overview of what we did since Mazatlan and then, when I have time, I’ll write some detailed stories of interesting parts of the trip. I might have to post pictures in separate posts, too….
We spent the [...]

Ferry Crossing
Ha, it’s funny. We’ve got two stories, one in real time (Reader’s Digest version) and one that’s far superior….no, I’ll catch up, I swear. Unfortunately I can’t post pics with this computer. I’ll stick to the important stories.
The ferry crossing from La Paz to Mazatlan. About 18 hours, uncomfortable, no cabins, just a couple of [...]

San Cristóbal de las Casas
We left Puerto Escondido yesterday around noon because I was out partying the night before until about 4 in the morning. I wandered the streets of Puerto Escondido and found that most places were almost empty but one spot was pretty happening. After being looked up-and-down by the bouncer and given the OK by the [...]
