Two rather interesting hills

There comes a time in every traveller’s life when they feel the need to camp at the foot of an active volcano. Right? Well, we did anyway. We heard the nearby volcano Popocatépetl was quietly bubbling away. Conveniently in the same general direction we were heading. We arrived at the crossroads at the top of the […]

Northwards … Etosha here we come!

I eased into consciousness, snuggled warmly under the duvet. The events of the previous day all but forgotten. Today, we could start on our holiday. Now, we would never recommend anyone to visit Namibia for 1 week. It is just too short to see very much, the distances are far and the driving can be …

Rocks, history and how not to navigate a colonial town

After our time in Durango, we were craving a little outdoor time, some peace and quiet to enjoy the clear skies and solitude. Luckily, in Mexico, you are never far from a national park of some sort. The Sierra De Órganos National Park was a short drive south of Durango in the state of Zacatecas. As we […]

Camping in the clouds at 10,000 Feet

One of the amazing things about Baja is the diversity of the peninsula. From beach to cactus prairie to boulder fields to mountains it’s an amazing place. We have set out to visit and experience some of the less common places on the peninsula and with that in mind we headed to Parque Nacional San Pedro Martir national park. This […]

From Puerto Natales to Torres del Paine

Baja—apparently not just sunshine and sandy beaches

After a week relaxing on the beach south of Rosarito, recovering from zipping all over the USA like mad people, it was time to get moving again. We just didn’t move very far. A short roll down the coast to La Bufadora, just south of Ensenada had us arriving at what must have been the best […]

Finally—Heading south like we’re supposed to!

When people enquire as to what we are doing as we aimlessly drive around the Americas we tend to respond with: ‘We’re driving from Alaska to Argentina’. Those in the know often respond with ‘Oh, so you are driving the PanAmerican Highway then?” To which we typically respond with a shifty sideways glance and say […]

Wolves at the door

Sure, we only had a few days left on our US Visa, but it would have been poor form to leave without visiting Yellowstone National Park. So we took another detour. As it happened, this was the last weekend that many of the roads in the park were going to be open. Everything was winding down […]

Running out of land in southern Chile, almost time for a boat

Just west of Valdivia is a small town, Niebla, out on the coast where we stop to see the shore and the ruins of an old Spanish fort from the 1500s, but it’s closed for renovations. The bridges in Latin America… Read More ›

Utah. Definitely another planet.

Our initial plan to take a detour south through Escalante—Grand Staircase National Monument was foiled—by torrential rain washing out Cottonwood Road. We formulated ‘Plan B’ when a couple we spoke to in Kodachrome Basin State Park motivated us to pay a visit to Capitol Reef National Monument. A quick look at a map showed an […]

The lowest point of our trip

All trips have their low points. This journey is no exception.  Fortunately this particular low point is measured in altitude, not in how many hours we spent plotting to poison each other.  We arrived in Death Valley after the worst of the summer heat… or at least we thought we had. It was still a […]

The long last day in Ecuador
