Aufräumen, packen, geistige Vorbereitung... weniger als 24h bis zu unserem Flug nach Santo Domingo.
🇩🇴
Take Off from Zurich
20. Mai 2024 in der Schweiz ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
4:40AM Alarm Clock, ride 20 mins later and now I'm at the airport waiting for Luke to buy locks for our suitcases because he's strangely more paranoid than I am.
Santo Domingo
20. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
We arrived in Santo Domingo, 32 degrees after a short stop in Madrid. Our air bnb is right next to a cemetery and our dinner took so long to be served that it came cold. At least the weather was warm,Weiterlesen
Santo Domingo Day 2
21. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Hot, hotter, Santo Domingo. Heard the word "Gringo" around 28 times but saw some nice things. Today we leave for Puerto Plata. If I can't go swimming soon, I'm leaving! 😛
Puerto Plata
21.–24. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
After a hot Monday / Tuesday in Santo Domingo, we drove out to Puerto Plata (where Luke's dad lives) and brought along Swiss weather. A rainy Wednesday later, we used Thursday's sun to go to theWeiterlesen
Sosua
24.–27. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Got picked up by Luke's aunt and drove out to a place further down south called "Sosua", where Jews were shipped in by a previous dictator who wanted mixed races. Now, a diary production and a fewWeiterlesen
Las Terrenas
27.–29. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
We rode the "bus" (a large van packed with too many people) 4.5h through the pampas. Now, we're in an overprized bungalow in a cute place, not far from the most beautiful beach + sunset I have everWeiterlesen
Samana
29.–30. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
We left Las Terrenas with a cab instead of a bus as originally planned (it cost 48 dollars instead of 9) mostly cause of the friendly cab driver and his arguments about the car being more comfortableWeiterlesen
Sabana de la Mar
30. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Instead of taking another bus or Taxi, we decided to change things up by travelling via boat. So, at 11am we took the boat from Samana to Sabana del Mar. We were asked by a Dominican tourist-shark:Weiterlesen
Miches
30. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
On the way to Miches in a tight spaced bus with a slide-door nobody really cared about. Nothing in Miches but super loud people. Just passin' through.🚐
Otra Banda
30. Mai 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Absolutely nothing here but suuuper loud people honking our ears off. We had a short overlay here, glad to continue. There was a nice guy though that said I had nice eyes, so there'sWeiterlesen
Punta Cana
30. Mai–3. Juni 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Fina'freakin'lly we arrived in our last stop of the Dominican Republic, tourist hot spot Punta Cana, where we were dropped of in some road with no clue where our hotel was and no internet. So,Weiterlesen
Punta Cana Last Day Domrep
2. Juni 2024 in Dominikanische Republik ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
We have arrived at the last night in Punta Cana... and the Dominican Republic. Unfortunately I spent the majority of the day in bed with a lovely migraine. We did manage a dip into the ocean before weWeiterlesen
Antigua
3.–5. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Da-da-da-daaaaammm.. We are officially in Guatemala! Yay!
Our flight left an hour late after I stressed Luke out by being slightly stressed out myself that the monitor said "Panama" instead ofWeiterlesen
Antigua Day 2
4. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Antigua has me excited for more. It's a city rich in history and we did a ton of walking today. We saw two monasteries, the famous Guatemalan "Arco de Santa Catalina" and a pile ofWeiterlesen
Chichicastenango
5.–6. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Everything was fine until our offline navi told us to go offroad... and we went offroad.
It probably took us around an hour longer but at least it was fun and bumpy! Bet we saw more sides fromWeiterlesen
San Pedro La Laguna
6.–8. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Oh my GOD what a day. We went to the busy market, as announced in our previous footstep. We bought a handful of things and thankfully nothing and no one was stolen.😁
As to our onward trip to SanWeiterlesen
Lanquin
8.–9. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
I'm half dead writing this since Luke wanted to drive 8.5h straight and I had another lovely headache the entire ride. Finally, FINALLY, we have arrived having driven half-decent roads since weWeiterlesen
Sempuc Champey
9.–10. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today we decided to leave the dirt-road driving to the professionals with 4-wheel cars. So, like the locals, we took a pick-up truck (we stood on the loading area) and I had to make sure my lensesWeiterlesen
San Benito, Flores
10.–12. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Another long drive but with a twist: we had to take a "ferry" to cross a river they might as well have just built a bridge to pass. But, alas, as most strange things are, it was an adventure andWeiterlesen
Tikal
11.–12. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
WHEEEEE! Finally, we have arrived *insert drum-roll* in TIKAL, where I had the pleasure of realizing a longterm dream of mine of seeing Mayan temples. And boy was it magnificent! It used to be one ofWeiterlesen
Puerto Barrios
12.–16. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Today has been rather uneventful, especially the 5 hour ride to Puerto Barrios, since Luke slept for almost the entirety of it. Thankfully I saw as good as all potholes and did not drive the car offWeiterlesen
Guatemala City Last Day
16. Juni 2024 in Guatemala ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
Yes! We are still alive!
After 3 days of recuperating from our Guatemalan roadtrip adventure, we used today to drive out to Guatemala City for our flight tomorrow. So I have good news and bad news:Weiterlesen
Albuquerque, New Mexico
18.–19. Juni 2024 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
Howdy and welcome to the next era of this trip: The United States edition. And boy are Luke and I happy to leave the Spanish speaking to those that actually speak it! Also, the air is crisp, AmericansWeiterlesen
Albuquerque, New Mexico Day 2
18. Juni 2024 in den USA ⋅ 🌙 28 °C
Petroglyphs are pictures carved into stone, and in Boca Negra Canyon they've been around for 400-500 years. This is what fascinates me about the US: it is vast and rich in history. And it's historyWeiterlesen
