From Suriname to French Guyana and Brazil.

From Suriname to Brazil

Last week i past the French Guyana border with Suriname. The custom in both country checked the bikepapers, aspecially the insurance for FG. The road in FG is superb for a biketour. Before Cayenne is also a police controlpost. There they also check the papers. The hotels in Cayenne starts at € 65. From Cayenne to Macapa is the road also good, except a stretch of 150 km. This stretch is lataerite and slippery if raining. The bridge over the L'Oyapock was for some raison closed. I and 2 other bikerider took the small boats to get to Brazil. It was a sceary experience.The Brazil custom is quite relaxed. Just 1 stamp to enter the country. In Santana, a small city near Macapa, i took the ferry to Belem.
The boat took 36 hours. There is almost every day a boat leaving.
I post also some pictures.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
