de mexico a panama
Hard to believe, but my trip is almost over! After 86 days of travelling through 7 countries by bus & boat, starting in Mexico D.F. & heading down to Panama City, I have to catch a flight back to Europe in only 30 hours!
Once more at the Pacific side, I spent 2 relaxing days at […]
Only one more week for me in Central America - My friend Jenny joined me at the Caribbean islands of Bocas del Toro, the highlight of my Panama trip. By watertaxi or bus, you can easily visit a different beach or island every day.
Heading down once more to the Pacific side, I stopped in the […]
Costa Rica is maybe rather touristy then other countries in Central America, but nowhere else you can visit that many great places. I have spent more than 2 weeks there and havent even seen half of all the tourist spots.
After leaving Nicoya peninsula, I headed to the little town La Fortuna, located on the east side […]
Time just passes by too quickly here - it has been almost 2 weeks since I passed the boarder to Costa Rica! I guess I should have planned better, Costa Rica is by far the most expensive country in Central America and I will still be here for a while, but there are just so many nice places […]
I am not so sure about the highlights of this trip anymore, but Nicaragua is definitely one of them. After visiting the colonial cities in the west, I have spent some time in and around San Juan del Sur, close to the Costa Rican border.
First I took my first surfing lesson at Playa Madera, an […]
All by myself now… After a quick stay in Honduras capital Tegucigalpa, I made my way to Nicaragua. Or - the country where you can do pretty much anything, like VOLCANO BOARDING. Staying in the really nice city Leon, I took the chance and went on a volcano boarding tour. Right, active volcano, next to […]
It has been already more than a week that we made it to Honduras, still the Carribean side. It is the first country where I am having troubles with the local Spanish accent, although it does not really matter as many people prefer to speak in English anyways.
We stayed one night in the small beach […]
Eventually, we made our way to Belize! Once crossing the border, everything changed immediately - different language (English), race (we look even more pale now), Reggae music everywhere and tourist stuff 5 times more expensive than in Guatemala.
We decided not to stay in Belize City and took the water taxi from there to Caye Caulker […]
Betti and I are still enjoying Guatemala, longer than we had actually planned. In the south of Guatemala, travelling by chicken bus was really easy. We hopped on one of the buses (actually people dragged us to there). When changing the bus we didnt have to ask anybody nor wait at all. People inmediately screamed […]
On our trip to Guatemala we first passed Panajachel which is a very nice but touristy town next to Lago Atitlan and 3 volcanos. More info with the photos.
Taking the chicken bus, we made our way to Quetzaltenango or as for the locals just Xela. Very impressive was not only our visit in the small neighbour […]
