It was a smooth border crossing, in fact, the smoothest, and we felt very welcomed. A theme that continued in the two weeks to follow. El Salvador is a small country, lucky for us, as we don’t have much time left on our C4 visas. We still have to get through Honduras and Nicaragua. But…
Verde Eventos, Antigua, a place we call home in Guatemala. And where better to spend Zoe’s birthday than there. Everything was ready, we just needed the guests. But it seemed like there were quite a few pre-parties to celebrate beforehand. Because when we returned to this beloved campsite, a whole host of Overlanders were waiting.…
Flores, a little island on the western side of Lake Petén. Flores means flowers in Spanish and this isle showcased its colourful bloom in both natural and art form. It was a pure joy to walk around the cobbled streets, past the brightly coloured houses and in and out of chic Cafés. We took a…
Guatemala is a smaller country than Mexico, small enough to quite possibly traverse the land from one side to the other in just a day- but there is a caveat- the traffic! East to West, North to South, cities, towns or villages; it really doesn’t matter where you are headed- in Guatemala you will always…
We had 30 days to leave Mexico, and our next destination was going to be Guatemala. There were quite a few miles to cover but it didn’t get in the way of exploring new territory in Mexico, we sure made the most of those remaining days! And our first stop was Rancho Sofia, on the…
Whilst staying at ‘El Faro de Peter’s’ campsite near San Luis Potosí, Abigail found a flight for the UK. It had been the cheapest listed since the outbreak of the pandemic and after two years on the road, it was high time for her and Zoe to go visit family again. So, as always, plans…
Having already spent seven wonderful months in Mexico, and with the privilege of having five more to explore, we decided to say goodbye to hot and humid Yucatán, turn around, and drive up north again. And where on the map should our hearts so desire? But no other than the state of San Luis Potosí.…
We have never been so hot in all our lives!!! And after a month of visiting this wonderful peninsula, the heat just got the better of us and we had to get out of there. But we do not regret making that right turn from Palenque for a minute. One can do a lot in…
Crossing the California border into Arizona through the Imperial Sand Dunes gave us the feeling we were travelling through the Sahara desert, or maybe we were on Mars, we did pass a few moon buggies after all! No, we hadn’t transported to another land, we had entered Yuma, Arizona, the sunniest city on earth, so…
After an entire year travelling around the United States (see map above), and with a little extra time to play with, we began our second loop, making sure we hit some of those places we missed first time round, such as Northern New Mexico, Colorado and the northern part of Utah. And what better time…
