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?

Pearcy 30 Jun 2009 02:31

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.

zentropa 1 Jul 2009 04:45

Oh yeah, I hate that.
Sending you my phone #, maybe we can hook up later.

Hey guys, It looks like we are going to cross our ways somewhere in Central America. At the moment I´m in Chetumal getting ready for tomorrow, getting across the border onto Belize then Guatemala.

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?

Ill keep an eye on this tread...:thumbup1:

Graham uk 20 Jul 2009 01:25

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 beer session is in order!!:thumbup1:

zentropa 20 Jul 2009 05:37

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.

Pearcy 11 Aug 2009 17:26

Colombia / Ecuador going south
 
I have left Central America and will shortly be in Ecuador always interested in hearing from fellow travellers still.

Hey guys, I'm in Guatemala doing Spanish and will be here till the end of the month (might stay an extra week though). Still have not sorted a way to Columbia, need to work on that soon.

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

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.

M&Ms 20 Aug 2009 00:29

thanks, sounds like relativly easy going...

ride safe

Peru going south
 
Any update on the corrupt police issue in Peru, met some Ecuador riders heading north and they say they had no problems but they are nearly local.

Graham The Wise, you´re in Peru already? I didn´t get a chance to say goodbye in Medellín, and you´re way ahead of me now (i´ve been sidetracked by a girl in the village of Rio Negro) so have fun and take it easy. I´ll be heading for Bogota on Monday, then the Zona Cafetera and Cali if anyone else is around. Graham The Young, where are you now?

Graham uk 24 Aug 2009 02:27

errr in a bamboo shack on the beach mate, figured you'd be distracted quickly:thumbup1:

Mancora.

Who was it came up with the wise and young thing again??

Still not made it to bogota lol your going to run out of time my friend.....

Ecuador was very quiet, quito was fantstic though, get right up the church in the old town and spend a sunday in the old plaza, great entertainment. Cuenca was nice but a tad dull.
