Baja to Bali

We take a bit of a windy route from Leon to Salamanca, and our days seem to fall into a bit of a repetitive rhythm: Bike - Bar - Bike - Bar - Bike - Bar - Tapas. Or sometimes Bike - Bar - Bike - Bar - Bike - Bar - Tapas - Bar - Tapas - Bar! Enjoy x

We cycle west across the south side of the Cantabrian mountains, taking in the Palentina National Park. Its hot, very pretty and full of cows and frogs!

We head off from the UK, travelling by ferry to Santander. From there its a few days cycling to Aguilar de Campoo on the south side of the Cantabrian mountains.

We are about to embark on our next trip, so I thought I would share our plans and also update those of you who didn't know what happened after our last video from Colombia in January. We head off this Friday (15th May), and I'll be videoing this trip as usual. I might be getting just a bit excited now!!!

Our Christmas trip with Ed, Jan and Tom continues. We spend Christmas day in a lovely AirBnB in Medellin, before heading to Guatape. Then its back to Bogota so these guys can catch their flight home. It was a bit of a whistle-stop tour of Colombia, but I hope they got a good sense of the country and above all, I really hope they enjoyed it.

Its lovely having Ed, Jan & Tom to visit us for Xmas. In the first part of their trip we spend a few days in Bogota before heading to the Amazon.

We end our time in Chile in Santiago, with a short side trip to Valparaiso, Chile's 3rd largest city, characterised by its bohemian atmosphere, and waning port. Mostly though, we spend our time wandering through the leafy streets and parks in Santiago, with, of course, frequent stops for liquid refreshment in its many cafes and bars.

We cross the border from Ushuaia in southern Argentina into Chile, and then make our way up through the Chilean Lake District to Santiago. The scenery is pretty outstanding, very lush green, and full of volcanoes and lakes., so we enjoy the opportunity to do plenty of hiking in the national parks.
