Five adventure bikers on the docks in Mazatlán, Mexico just minutes after rolling off the ferry from La Paz. We ran into David Collett and two young gentlemen from Seattle as we were waiting to board the ferry in La Paz.

The 18-hour crossing from La Paz to Mazatlán was on a car ferry which was short on creature comforts. No cabins were available so we slept, or tried to sleep, in some chairs in the common area where a couple of TV's with the volume stuck on 11 were blaring at us all night.

The deserts of northern Peru

Crossing the border from Ecuador into Peru we're riding south towards Lima going through some fantastic desert landscapes. Imagining Peru before the trip I would think about beaches, the Andes mountains, Machu Picchu and tropical jungle but not desert so I was surprised.

The landscapes are stunning and we stop for a while to play in the sand running up the dunes as far as we can before we stop to take in the views from a higher vantage point.

I got a good shot of Andy sprinting down the sand dunes before we geared up to and set course for Lima.

Tangier Medina, Morocco

Walking through the Medina in Tangier, Morocco was quite an experience. A busy place with very tight alleyways and vendors selling everything from vegetables to carpets and furniture. Haggling is definitely a requirement.

I'd come to Tangier that morning on the ferry from Algeciras, Spain and was scheduled to go back that evening - not enough time to explore but it left me with the desire to come back.
