    08.09. I start early today, going to the border crossing at Hidalgo. When leaving Mexico they wanted 30 USD from me for the visa. I left Mexico the day before and entered it again. I stayed just one night, but it’s the law. I require an invoice. He says, he can’t write one. If I…

    07.09. Whats wrong with you Mexico? Yesterday you told me to leave with a rumble? And today you won’t let me go? I start between 9:15 to 9:30. My destination in Guatemala is about 300km away. I should make it there until 4pm. There are two border crossings to Guatemala near Tapachula. One after Tuxtla Chico, about 15…

It’s curvy, uphill, downhill, through a large canyon, which can easily be recognized by the erosion of the landscape. Close to Guadalajara two waterfalls plunge from high up into the depths.…

    22.08. I spend the second day in Monterrey with walking around in the city center. At early afternoon, I begin to understand why some countries are held siesta. What do you do when it gets too hot? Right, you go somewhere, where it’s cool. In Monterrey you might visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. There…

    15th – 18.08. A few friends asked me if my motorcycle has a name and if it is female or male. NO. I have no real emotional attachment to the motorbike. IT just should not make many quirks. After arriving in Austin and checking in at the hostel, I immediately went to the BMW dealer.…
