Comments: 

At the moment we are staying in Quito and are waiting for our 'Carnet de passages'from Germany. We sent the bike with GIRAG from Panama City to Quito and had to pay US$500. The transport was without problems.

We tried 3 days to get the bike out of customs without a Carnet, but there was no way. And so we decided to order this in Germany. To make the time of waiting shorter, we studied a little bit Spanish at a school. The school was very good and maybe our new knowledge about the Spanish language will help us at the next border crossings to save time.
