Nicaragua – the dreaded border
The Nicaraguan border is dreaded by most travellers, but it looks like we were very lucky. A fast crossing into the country and then we go off to explore it at the slow speed of 50 km/h.
The perfect picture: coincidence or staged?
Some tourists come back with beautiful wildlife photos. But is it pure luck? There are now tour operators willing to stage anything in exchange for the right amount of money. Also animal pictures.
An incredible year!
A full year on the road with so many adventures. It’s time to look back and to appreaciate everything we’ve seen and lived. We hope 2026 continues the same way!
Howling and acrobacy
We sometimes make a monkey out of ourselves, but we can’t yet swing through the canopy. Anyway, here you get a sneak peak into Costa Ricas’ primates.
Costa Rica, the paradise?
Is Costa Rica that big of an example in Nature conservation? We’re not so sure about that; but we’ve noticed how expensive it can be to just want to enjoy nature for a bit.
Looking for the quetzal
We take you on a rainy hike through the cloud forest with Michael’s pictures.
Mould, mould, mould and the constant search for spare parts!
Isn’t travelling wonderful? Every day is an adventure. It’s especially wonderful when mould is lurking around every corner and spare parts never make it to the local shops. Thank goodness for friends who play the role of both mule and saviour. It’s time to complain a little about cleaning.
Encounters with Giants: Whale Season in Central America
We have seen the giants on land, it was time to see the ones living at the Pacific coast: the humpack whales.
A red banana?
There are more than enough bananas in America, but somehow they are called something different in every country. An attempt to shed some light on bananas and their Spanish names.
Macaws – the colourful voices of the jungle
There are many colourful birs in the Americas. One of the most fascinating ones are the macaws. Their colours have been part of our journey and it’s time for a brief introduction.
