It wasn’t easy to leave the paradise of Playa del Carmen. But the new wheel had arrived and the new tires and chains were assembled, so we left. Continue reading →

Playa del Carmen

Posted on 10 February 2014 by ronnielinda

We were in Playa del Carmen because Ronnie’s parents were going to visit us there. For them that meant 2 weeks in an all-inclusive resort and for us 1 week in that same resort and the rest of the time in a normal hotel in the center of the town. With a suitcase full with new bike parts (chains, innertubes, tires, spokes and other smaller things) and nice clothes for us, they arrived in Mexico. Continue reading →

Belize

We spent a day in the first town of Belize, San Ignacio. We liked it immediately in that little town and the country. There was a Caribean vibe with reggae music and dark people (mostly men) with rasta hair. The people were so friendly and cheerful that it made us cheerful too. Continue reading →

Guatemala in words and images

Posted on 8 February 2014 by ronnielinda

Unfortunately we weren’t able to cycle many kilometers/miles through Guatemala, only a part in the South and a part in the North. We were forced to travel the rest of the country by bus so we only went to the touristy towns of the country. Continue reading →

Tikal

As far as we know, the spokes never arrived at the address in the US. So we left Antigua without spare spokes, by bus to the town of Flores. After a few days in Flores, we got back on the bikes to cycle to the Maya ruins of Tikal. It was a good test for the wheel which was checked out by a mechanic in Antigua. Continue reading →

We didn’’t have any problems at the border of Guatemala, but a few kms after the border another spoke of Ronnie’s wheel snapped. That was the 3rd in only 5 days of cycling. Since we only had 4 spare ones, the situation didn’t get any better. Continue reading →

Honduras in words and images

Posted on 25 December 2013 by ronnielinda

We sped through Honduras in 1,5 days. We hadn’t heard any good things about the country; it wasn’t save. Shops would close around 4 pm because it wasn’t safe to be on the streets after that time. And people would walk around openly with weapons. Continue reading →
