Mexico going south
I am in Gueymas on the coast just south of the Mexico border heading first to Acapulco and then on south to Guatemala on a Suzuki DRZ400. Is anyone heading in my direction?

Zentrpa, I couldn't post a PM not enough posts error message, but I will be looking to be leaving Acapulco on the 7th or 8th, I'm a bit a head of you but if you close up I can hang about a day or two. Keep posted.

Graham squared,

How did you like San Cristobal/Comitan area? Lived and worked there for 3 years... LOVELY !!

Am in Peru now (and for most of my life). Can I answer any questions?

met up with pearcy a few days ago, we're currently in nicaragua, san juan del sur to be precise about 50 miles north of the costa rica border.

Will be heading south in a few days, with an aim of getting the boat around to colombia the first week in august.

I know of a few people a bit ahead and behind so where is everybody?? Maybe a ride and session is in order!!

I busted my shock in copper canyon and just bounced my way to Mazatlan where I'll be for a few days so yeah, I'm way behind you now.
I will not get on the boat to Columbia until Sept... most likely.

Hi,
we are just in Veracruz, Mexico on our way south (riding 2 DR 650). Thinking about a language course as well. Where exactly are you in Guatemala - Antigua ?

How was border crossing from Mex / where did you cross ?

Marcus

sorry, cannot do PM - my first post....

I'm in Xela/Quetzaltenango (the city has two names).
I like the school and the town quite well.
I crossed at La Mesilla. I arrived on a Sunday and it took about 30 min.

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.
