We had a fantastic adventure and we are so glad we were on the motorbike. We loved the fact we could get right off the beaten track into the back and beyond without relying on public transport; in fact, you couldn't have got to many places without your own vehicle.
Although a lot of the roads we went on were in bad condition and/or unpaved, Phil, the now off-roader, kept the Africa Twin upright for the whole trip! One small, bumpy, very steep and sandy track nearly had us off but that was the closest we came to coming off!
Our total distance travelled was 42,400 km (26,350 miles) and the highest altitude we were at was 5000m - amazing! We were away for 405 days, which splits into how long in each country below:
Argentina - 68
Chile - 42
Bolivia - 22
Peru - 41
Ecuador - 54
Colombia - 38
Panama - 18
Costa Rica - 7
Nicaragua - 12
Honduras - 8
Guatemala - 23
Mexico - 67
USA - 5
Hi Dee and Phil,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it back safely, it must be so strange for you both being back into regular life and not getting on a bike everyday. I expect you are already planning your next adventure in order to keep you sane. We have just come back from a holiday (cruise and Florida, very conventional) and would love to catch up soon although you will probably be sick of repeating the same things when everyone asks you about your trip!
Love Sharon x
