Granada, Nicaragua

January 30, 2014 Written by Jenn

Jenn writes on 2014-01-25: We are currently in Granada, Nicaragua relaxing by the swimming pool at the Oasis Hostel.  It was recommended to us by Peter (AKA Senior Kiwi), a retired Kiwi who is riding around Central America on a local bike, Suzuki GN125, and who we met in Leon at the LazyBones Hostel. This […]

Santa Ana, El Salvador

January 21, 2014 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2014-01-20: We are currently in Santa Ana, El Salvador.  I am going to backtrack for a moment and then catch up. JP wrote about our ride back from Semuc Champey to Coban.  To just take you back a bit, this involved us slugging up various tropical mountainous roads.  My black Kevlar mesh […]

Semuc Champey and Back Again

January 17, 2014 Written by Jenn

Jenn writes on 2014-01-16: When we finally bid Cobán goodbye for the last time and continue our trip South, I think I will feel a bit sad.  I have grown quite fond of Cobán and will be sorry to see it disappear in my rear-view mirrors.  It’s weather can be a bit shifty, but the […]

Tikal National Park, Guatemala

January 13, 2014 Written by Jenn

Jenn writes on 2014-01-12: We arrived at Tikal National Park on January 9th under overcast skies.  It had been raining for roughly two weeks at Tikal so we were happy that there weren’t any raindrops falling from the sky. The ride from Coban took roughly 6 hours and took us from city to windy, curvy […]

From New Years in Panajachel to Antig...

January 4, 2014 Written by Adam

Adam writes on 2014.01.03: I am writing from Antigua Guatemala, sitting in the courtyard of a hotel called Posadita Casa Maria Jose.  It is basically an old colonial homestead where the family lives in the back behind some doors and where the front has six or so guest rooms with their own bathrooms.  It is […]

Happy New Year from Panajachel, Guate...

January 1, 2014 Written by Jenn

Jenn writes on December 31, 2013: What can I say about Guatemala?  It’s stunning scenery welcomed us with open arms from the moment we crossed the border from Mexico.  Steep, twisting mountain roads vaulted us up more than two kilometers in less than twenty minutes. One minute we were sweltering in the heat, and the […]
