Great photos - we were just there and I recognize most of the spots. Your photo of the semana santa statues and the police station are top notch.

Haha. Same here - the 1980s Brent had smaller feet!

Lucky you! The shoes I bought in 2018 are now desperately in need of replacement. Their predecessors were purchased after our first bike trip with the kids in 2006, when I realized my feet were bigger than they used to be.

I'll certainly be placing the maps within the next few days.

Maps are so helpful. Even if it's an area I will never bicycle, I still like to orient myself to where the rider is. I especially appreciate maps if I plan to tour the area myself, it takes the guesswork out of planning. Also appreciated are the names of lodging and restaurants - both good and bad.

Thank you so much! I will be adding maps from my GPS shortly in case you're interested. I haven't had a moment to upload them yet.

I've enjoyed following along with you. Thanks for the informative journal.

Yes. The nylon straps have nylon clips that allow me to easily loosen the centre strap so I can slip the skateboard in /out and then retighten the straps. The gadget is really light so I just buried it at the bottom of a pannier until the end of the tour.

Do you take it off when you get to the ticket counter?

I just added a few photos of my gadget at the end of the blog.

Ok, once I'm home I'll add a page with some photos and details about it.

Tell us more about the wheels on your bike box. That sounds ever so practical.

Thank you!

Fantastic photos!!!

We 100% concur with your assessment. We also had an amazing evening with you, and also feel like we have been friends for years.
