Welcome to Guatemala
Flores, Guatemala
No breakfast for us, Katrijn and I set off early for a very sweaty walk back to the car. Once there we found that Bill had patched up my leak with some JB Weld and we poured in a quart of oil and held our breath. It seemed to hold so in went another [...]

Belize without a map
Belize City, Belize
I finally got my oil changed on my last day in Mexico. I rotated the tyres, changed the air and oil filter and had a confusing conversation about the fuel filter in Spanish. I didn’t care I didn’t understand any more, it was time for country number four on my world tour. After [...]

These ruins are ruined!
Bamamku Ruins, Mexico
More ruins? I was reaching saturation point by now but these were just over the road from the campsite and quick to get to. So why not?
I then only had 200 km to get to Chetumal where I could spend one night before heading into Belize. It rained on and off [...]

All in a days driving
Kalukmul, Mexico
I said farewell to Palenque and headed up the very straight road to some more ruins. I abandoned my plan of skirting the Guatemalan border which is just as well because its pretty dangerous down that way. Would have looked nice on the map though (which is the main thing :p). I was a [...]

Desert driving
Day 137
Catavina, Baja, Mexico
The Sea of Cactus
Mexican Mickey Mouse?
We went for breakfast at the hotel where Rob worked and filled up. The place was pretty quiet, which probably makes it a good place to work, or rather to sit and read and get paid. They even had a ‘mall’ ie a room with stuff [...]

Mad as a Coconut!
Day 141 La Mision Mexico
We woke up with Rob gone but he left us a note telling us where he was so after a shower and some coffee we went to meet him at his local committee meeting at Arthur and Molly’s house down by the beach. Keith got a shocked laugh when he immediately [...]

The Pacific!
Day 129 San Diego CA
God I need help! Why can’t I get up at a reasonable time? Still, I only had a few miles to the CA border and San Diego was pretty close. This was the area of the real desert, like huge sand dunes and passes through the hills strewn with millions of [...]
