Fast forward 1650 kilometers.. Riding from northern Argentina down is simply flat boring farmland, a very long ride and super super hot! No photos, no need to stop, we are making tracks because the sooner we get south, the sooner we will be in some cooler air. We came down past Cordoba, Rio Cuarto, and west to San Luis. The next town is Mendoza, which is a popular...
I really needed to find a place to stay in Cusco where I could have my motorcycle with me. Too many sleepless nights in the other place worrying about whether my bike survived another night 2 blocks away. So after scouring the entire town, I found a place where the owner (who hit and damaged my bike pannier.. and then fixed it no worries) was so kind to give me a...
The three of us ride our motorcycles into Cusco with no intentions of hanging around other than getting some super desperately needed laundry clean. I will return to Cusco later. We are so close to one of the main reasons for being in this part of the world. Machu Picchu !!!! We all have been trying to figure out for ages how to RIDE the motorcycles to Machu. Kevin...
Ahhhh, the little charming city of Taxco outside the big city of Mexico. I love it already! It was only about 180 km to ride here from Mexico City, but as you can imagine, the traffic took forever to navigate out of the city. The traffic carried on until I was well away from the city. So 180 km seems like it is just outside Mexico City for me. I’m...
This will come as an absolute shock to anyone who might have been reading my blog in the past and have found that after a very long time, I have another blog post ready! Those who follow on facebook have the most up to date events for me. But as I said before, finding time when I am around a lot of people has been a challenge for my writing time since the United...
Onwards and upwards toward the top of the world from Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway! Road hazards.. 😉 Road hazards extended family… too cute! Spotted this old wood cabin in the woods… my mind starts daydreaming about what it must be like to live a life up here in the bush, off the land.. pretty harsh but beautiful! Rather common site ever since...
I think I mentioned that my original plans to travel north to England was via the French coast with a visit to Normandy.. This wasn’t going to work due to ridiculously bad weather, so I diverted to Switzerland.. good call!! Very happy I did! My next overnight stop in France, however, still welded some serious American history that I didn’t expect...
I’m running short on time and I need to get a move on through Spain and up into France. Problem is, I need service on the bike and desperately need a new rear tire! All those little stone streets in Portugal ate my tire right up and it’s completely bald. But there is no where around here to get a new bike tire, the kind I want anyway...
My ride through the back roads to Seville was beautiful, but that dag gone camera! The photos are not going to work.. most of them are pure white and completely unusable. How I got the few I did, for who knows what reason. I’ll put up the ones I managed to tweek enough to post.. Meandering my way through so many great little Spanish villages. Their...
I did it!! Managed to get from Slovenia to Spain in record time! Came in through Italy via Monaco and France into Spain, and navigated my way to Barcelona easily to the ferry port to board with an hour to spare. As usual, the ferry to Palma de Mallorca is an overnight sailing, and an expensive one at that, so it’s deck chair space for me again. ...
