We arrived in Granada rather late. We went out for dinner with a girl from Corn Island who made for quite some contrast to a couple of tired cyclist with her lively manner. The next day was spent with only little time in the saddle. Since i couldn’t be bothered to explore the town on… Continue reading Granada y Isla Ometepe

La hora del planeta
Earth hour receives a lot of valid criticism. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t created solely for the benefit that one hour without the use of electricity would have on our planet. It will just have an effect if people change their behavior after this hour in the long run. In Xela the lights of the… Continue reading La hora del planeta

to mexico
after eleven hours we touched ground in cancun, mexico. the entry formalities are quite easy for a citizen of the european union and only to clear customs took me a while longer since my luggage seemed a little less usual. at the baggage conveyor belt i met conrad, another cyclist, just as i was about… Continue reading to mexico

fremantle
after leaving perth there are no big cities to speak of in western australia. with a population of 10.000, fremantle is still one of the bigger ones. the atmosphere is relaxed, a lot of creative people live here or pass through and half of the people seem to be on holiday. the streets are filled… Continue reading fremantle
