Connected to Torres del Paine via the Southern Patagonian Icefield is another park in Argentina, Los Glaciares. To get there, we crossed at a small border with just 2 people working. There’s very little population in this part of the world, so whenever you pass a town, it can be quite a while before you […]
The strange feeling we got from reaching the destination we had been thinking about for the past year quickly passed as we headed back to the South American mainland. After a quick tire change we headed out of Punta Arenas for a hike toward Cabo Froward, the southernmost point of the mainland. We went for a beautiful […]
We left Belize early on a Sunday morning to cross over the border. This crossing was actually pretty easy – nobody cared about Leika, and they even made copies for us rather than having us run to the next copy shop, after pressing them a little. As we left the border, the roads were amazingly […]
What Jakob and I have really come to realize is that the people we meet in Mexico are a huge contributor to why we love this country. So far, both the locals and travelers have been warm, friendly, welcoming, friendly, interesting, friendly and genuinely kind. With that said, we also understand that we’ve been in […]
Guanajuato was one of our favorite cities in Mexico! The town is built in a ravine so while it’s not very conducive to driving, we had a wonderful time walking around the city. We stayed at a campground in the city (the only one) which was on a grassy terrace, with an incredibly view overlooking […]
Nevado de Colima is a high peak, 4,350m high which can be either a non-technical walk or technical climb. The hike has views of the neighboring active volcano and you can often see steam / smoke coming from it, we even heard some interesting grumbling. You can also have views of the Pacific Ocean, if […]
Etzatlan was the start to a wonderful week. We spent a few days camping at Delia’s RV Camp which is run by a mother and daughter team. They have 4 dogs and 7 horses, and I couldn’t have been happier spending time with Sam (the daughter) and helping out on the farm. One day, Jakob […]
Since, well, maybe Utah, we’ve been battling with the heat making us feel a bit too lethargic to use our bikes, running shoes and generally, being active. So, we’ve now escaped the Mexican coast, in search for mountains, higher elevation and cooler weather. And we’ve certainly found it. But first, as a catch-up on what […]
After California we visited my Aunt and Uncle, their 3 girls, 2 dogs and 2 cats in Los Alamos. Always great to see the family and to see the girls growing up! Los Alamos is such an interesting town. We drove into Los Alamos from Albuquerque along Highway 4 through Valles Caldera, an active volcano […]
After celebrating the world cup in Jackson, WY, we started heading south towards Salt Lake City. As we came down in elevation, temperatures reached 95+ degrees again, too hot for any serious outdoor activity. After a stop by the Orem Mercedes dealer for some spares, and a quick walk in Provo Canyon, we decided to […]
