Mexico, continuation and ending?
It is time for us to take a break. For the first time since the beginning of this trip we get off our bikes, and decide to go back to sedentary life for a few weeks.
Video #5: Cacti and coconut palms
We are entering our third adventure country: Mexico. And to get us in the mood, we decide to tackle this new challenge through Baja California. 1500km of desert and cacti, which we travel with others bikes travelers we meet on the road. It is then by ferry that...
There might be a cactus in my tire.
December 6th, 2019. It wasn’t until the border officials stamped our passports that we realized: we are in Mexico-- and Tijuana to be precise. Across the wall, contrast is obvious. On the American side; paved roads, shopping centers, and fast food. On the Mexican...

Nothing could be less certain, legally we are not entitled to it, so everything hangs on the sympathy of the customs officer. After 45 minutes undergoing interrogation, good news: a new stamp is affixed to our passport and a new 3 months to travel the US is granted.
Video #2 – Storming the Canadian Rockies
Glaciers, snow-capped peaks, immense pine forests and … lakes ranging from emerald green to turquoise blue, the Canadian Rocky Mountain range is worthy of the most beautiful postcards.
