Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

Had a great room at El Patio Hostel. My own outdoor seating area, and large comfortable bed! Tuesday Am was up early with my paperwork filled out online for my Brazil visa. Walked the 14 blocks to the Embassy so I would be there when they opened. I speak to a man at...

Huaraz   Got to Huaraz on Saturday morning as it is only an hour from Caraz. Stayed a hostal called Joe's Place with a small spot for two bike. was 30 Soles (11.76 USD) for a single room. Met up with a couple of English folks. Cress is riding her bicycle in south...

Finally was able to upload the rest of my photos from Canon Del Pato. With the sheer cliffs, gravel road, and tunnels I continued on my ride. After the dam, I finally saw a sign telling me I was on the right road. Along the river Starting to rise in Elevation. Some...

Just keep riding south Decided to just keep riding to spots of interest instead of riding shorter days and stopping in towns that are not much to see. Riding Solo this is easier to do, and for me more enjoyable! Knew this day would be a bit longer in the saddle as I...

After a great nights sleep listening to the waves crash to the beach, had breakfast and then walked the 3Km down the beach to town to get some money from an ATM. A few other people out in the AM enjoying the beach! And of course it is a touristy town so this lady was...

So with more than a little anxiety because of my biked overstayed status..... I left Quenca early and road south west toward the border crossing at Huanquillas. It was a 3 hour ride to the border. And As Pete from Berkeley said, it is a beautiful ride through the lush...

I really have enjoyed Cuenca. Since I was here back in March, I know my way around, and that is always great! Started my morning at Coffee Tree for Coffee and Breakfast. Yummy It is always great to meet up with other travelers and here their stories. Met Paul a...

The solo ride to Cuenca Headed out of Banos riding to Cuenca for one last stop before heading into Peru. Not far from town I hit a police checkpoint and had to get off the bike and produce all my paperwork. Was not real problem, just part of being on the road in a...

As I reenter my adventure on the road, it is taking a bit of time to get sorted back out again. Have some extra gear I brought down for Young James, Hector and Sherri Jo, so my bike feels loaded down. I also returned with extra stuff that I though I needed. In the...

Just a quick update as I am packed up and ready to ride to Banos today. Was a long flight back to Quito via Atl. Left at 6:30 am and arrived Quito at 10:30 PM.... Flights we uneventful and was glad to get back to South America. Of course in Atlanta had a chance to...
