Question Cabin share down the Amazon?

I'm currently in Bolivia but plan on heading down the Amazon early October (probably 2nd week). Either Manaus - Santarem - Macapa or just Santarem - Macapa.

Does anyone have similar plans and if so do you fancy sharing a cabin - NO SNORERS!!!

Sorry the dates are currently a little vague but that's the way it goes eh?

Cheers

Adam

Last I heard when I talked with him was he was heading North to FG and through the other two and Venezuela and shipping out of Colombia for the next bit.

Adam be sure to work on that insurance thing in FG before you get there

Maybe well meet up again along the way. I'm planning on coming back around from Cali when I get down and going again.

Mailking: John's right. I plan to ride north through the Guyana's and Venezuela before returning to Colombia.
However, I'm currently looking at changing my plans after that and spending a little longer in SA. It's an awesome continent on which to ride a bike

John: When do you hope to get on the road again? Would be great to catch up on the road somewhere.

Don't know how fast you travel and how the plans change, but be aware that the main ferry between Suriname and FG is out of service on October 10th to 30th.

And when in Suriname, give me a shout as we reside temporarily there.

Adventurous greetings,
Coen

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.
