Travelling from Mexico to Belize and Guatemala
 

Hello fellow motorcyclist comrades,

We are two deranged mororcyclists touring around Mexico, from England via the US. We are heading further south towards Belize and Guatemala, maybe further. Our planned route is very relaxed ie. we don't have one. Planning is something we lack.

Currently, we are in the Yucatan region. If there are any bikers in the area, we could meet up, exchange experiences, horror stories etc. Just drop us a line.

Hi there, I´m richard also a Brit, currently in tequila near guadalajara, heading for TDF eventually.

My plans such as they are, are to be in Acapulco for xmas and then head south down the pacific coast. stay in touch and maybe we can find a point to meet up.

happy travels

we are a british couple travelling to south america. we are in mexico, near veracruz and plan to be in the yucatan for christmas. we will be travelling thugh central america in january. We would prefer to travel with a group thugh some of the more dodgy countries (cheaper too, Its usually easier to do deals on accomidation if you need a few rooms). Email us if you would like to meet up somewhere

Hi all,

Currently in Mexico until the start of Feb, then travelling though Central America. Looks like you will all be ahead of me, but keep in touch & maybe meet on the road soon.

Feliz Navidad all!

- my god rich, you are making good time!

Hey People, I´m just ahead of you - Managua right now, Costa Rica for New Year. I travel real slow, so give me a shout as you pass by. Feliz Navidad, Dan Walsh

i'm touring mexico also, yet another brit , near veracruz at moment, yucatan in feb possibly, ???where are you now¿¿¿

Hi all the brits (and everybody else really)

I{m in Palenque right now, planning to cross into Guatamala on 30th, not at Tapachula, but slightly further north at Cuidad something or other (sorry left the guide book back at the hotel, but its the end of Route 190 past Comitan). supposed to be easier than Tapachula route.

Anyway if this is in line with anybody else - drop me a line. Or look out for a BMW F650 Dakar with Zega cases

All the best.
Richard

Wow, Brits abroad or what! Just when you think you are unique.....

Great to hear about everyone travelling in Mexico. We are Jane & Richard and are travelling on a yellow GS1150. We are currently in Campeche from here will explore the Yucatan (Uxmal, Chechen Itza and Tulum)before crossing into Belize just after New Year. From there we will go straight to Tikal and then hang around in Guat for a week or so before racing down to Panama in order to fly to Quito mid to late Jan. Eventually hope to be in TDF no later than middle March (weather permitting)....at least thats the plan!

Would be great to meet you guys, so if our plans cross yours at any point let us know. Contact us here or through our website

Wow, lots of responses!

We are currently stuck in Playa Del Carmen, just south of Cancun. I´ve been waiting for a new chain and sprocket set to arrive from the US and it´s finaly here. We should be back on the road and heading to the Belizean border in the next 2-3 days.

Look forward to meeting up...

thought I would try and keep this thread going. Where is everybody?

Im in Honduras now got heavily ripped off at the border at El Amatillo from El Salvador. Look out.

Nicaragua tomorrow probably for a few days before Costa Rica.

Hope to see you folks on the road.

Cheers and great riding.

But will be watching y'all if you keep this going ..... any suggestions re insurance for theft/damage to bike for a brit in central america, could you email me if you have something, meanwhile, joyous riding .. maybe just maybe, if you loiter, i'll catch you up !

Hey all,

Ride safe,

Brian

Comrades, still in Costa Rica, staying with Paul from Motos Costa Rica in Atenas, north west of San Jose. Top people, great workshop, perfect overlander pitstop. Will be here for maybe a week then up to Caribean Coast and across to Panama and Bocas del Toro. Yes. Email for beery nonsense. Or sober advice.
Cheers, Dan Walsh

Hello everyone, It is Spice of Chris and Spice at rtw101.com. Just wanted to let you know that we came through Central America last August to November . We kept our travels on our site and I think it has some good info about borders, shipping and fun. Take a look if you have time. Central America was wonderful but South America will blow you away! All the best! Write to us with any specifics, I love to give advice!

Thought I'd keep this thread active - what happened to the Brits Abroad? I'm in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Give us a shout if you're in the area.

I'm way ahead of you all in Cusco, Peru. Its great here in the South, so come on down. Be in Bolivia in a few days, hoping the salt flats are okay.

Okay, which of you Brits did I run into in San Pedro la Laguna, Guatemala? You were leaving on you KLR for Antigua. My KLR was parked at the hotel at the time. I never caught up to you again.
