Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

So trying to stay off my knee proves a bit difficult as we changed places to stay, and wanted to see some of Cartagena We moved to the EL Centro area which is much more upscale. was not offered drugs or anything as we walked about Saw some street dancers.... lots of...

Last day in Central America and then a 1 hour flight to Cartagena. Feels really weird not to be on my bike but to be flying to Cartagena. But could not get on the Stahlratte Boat as they had 24 passengers booked. Had a small backpack to carry on the plane..... As I...

We had to meet the other riders near the airport for the ride out to Carti to load the bikes. Both James and I had reservations from our bikes but we could not take the boat, but booked a flight to Cartagena to meet the bikes. NOTE: The reason we need to ship our...

Happy New year to my ADV friends!! Thanks for joining me on this adventure. Been having troubles with my knee and it has gotten worse. Just real painful to walk much, which is a real bummer as I want to explore around the places that I am stopping and enjoy the...

It was fun to connect with some other motorcycle riders.... all heading for the Stahlratte Boat and passage for Columbia. James I had met in Granada and we kept up by email since we both had reservations for our bikes but no room for us on Stahlratte. Getting ready to...

Took a day off to relax!! Since I splurged I even had a little deck to sit and have my morning coffee and watch the world go by. Bocas del Toro is a big tourist destination for sure. I took it easy all morning and enjoyed myself!! Oh for the splurge I have this room....

Woke up on the Caribbean coast to a nice view. My breakfast view. Nice cup of coffee and some great fresh fruit. Stayed here for $25. USD. Since traveling on my own through Central America my costs have gone up. The single rooms are more, and Costa Rica is more than...

Arrived Late christmas day in San Jose, and needed to rest. My knee has been giving me a bit of trouble as it is stiff and sore ..... Guess it is just healing up Part of the reason to stop in San Jose was to meet up with a couple other riders. Tom is a retired Expat...

Could have stayed here for a few days.... But decided that there are beaches ahead and though that the border crossing might have less traffic on Christmas day. Had confirmed that both sides would be open as well. Here is Lugz place with a large restaurant up top. Was...

My host Victor and his Wife Kayta were great and I told them I was going to San Juan del Sur on the coast. They told me that 17KM south of town was a cool little beach town called El Coco and just a few miles was La Flor where they have Sea turtles that come up on the...
