Guatemala 2
We were captivated by Guatemala. Such a beautiful place!! Mountains, volcanoes and forests abound.
Here we continue south towards Antigua Guatemala (gearbox rebuild!) via Guatemala City.
Then the stunning Lake Atitlan.
We returned to Mexico rather than continue down through Central America because Mabel is right-hand-drive and won't be allowed into Costa Rica (very sad). We hope to ship to Columbia from Veracruz.

Guatemala 1
มุมมอง 6321 วันที่ผ่านมา
The first place we stayed in Guatemala was in San Andres on the Lago Peten Itza. Then we headed south (still outrunning hurricane Beryl!). The river - Rio de la Pasion - crossing was in Sayaxche. The caves are Cuevas de Candelaria - very much enter at your own risk. Very dark, lots of climbing. Great fun!
Mexico to Belize
มุมมอง 16728 วันที่ผ่านมา
Our first sight of the Caribbean sea was in Tulum, Mexico. We crossed into Belize with great expectations but were thwarted by hurricane Beryl!! We knew it was the rainy season but the hurricanes don't normally start until later in the year. As it happened Beryl turned north, but when we got to Belize City it was forecast to make land there. We can't rush anywhere in Mabel so we made the sad de...
Agua Azul & Palenque Mayan ruins. Mexico.
มุมมอง 28หลายเดือนก่อน
The archaeological site at Palenque was the first Mayan site we went to. We paid a guide (expensive) for the first part of the visit - in the jungle. It really was not worth the money. It's good that you can enter parts of the pyramids & climb one if you are brave enough, following in the footsteps of the 'ancients'.
Off road along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico

Nikki is infamous for finding 'interesting' roads and routes. They usually are interesting and have been some of the most scenic and memorable drives we've undertaken. We were stopped twice along here by people with ropes (or chains) across the road. The first guy multiplies his 'toll' by more than 10 - Gringo rate. The second (out of shot at the other end of the road) accepted that we had "no ...

Baja Ferry La Paz to Mazatlan
มุมมอง 73หลายเดือนก่อน
This was our experience of crossing from La Paz to the Mexican mainland. There was a 3 week delay as our original ferry 'broke down'. We were put in with the lorries and Tony had to squeeze between them to get back to Mabel. They separated drivers from passengers which was a fraught experience. As we say in the video passengers are a bit of an afterthought, the main business is trucks

    Fantastic, i have a 300tdi in my '95 110. Amazing how they keep going. Unbeknown to me i had a crack in the head which let water in to the no4 cylinder intake, when i cranked it one day it went bang and bent a conrod! Amazingly it still ran! Was just a bit down on power. I replaced the Conrod and hopefully its good for another 200 thousand miles! Great vehicle you have!

  • @user-ku6ge7kl5i
    @user-ku6ge7kl5i 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a 300TDI myself, and recently had to have a new high pressure diesel pump fitted as the apparently contaminated fuel in Lesotho reduced the lubricating effect of the diesel. I mention this because you said these engines would run on paraffin. I wouldn't recommend this for the above reason.

    • @grandrovervoyager
      @grandrovervoyager 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They will run on any oil based fuel but it must be clean. It's when you get diesel with water in it is what does the damage as not all the water will sit in the bottom of the filter also extremely fine sand can pass through as I have experienced in North Africa.

    Too bad you guys were there when you were. Most smoke on record and the busiest tourist season on record. We went through between Aug10th -21st. Wasn’t quite as busy. Still skipped Banff, Lake Louise and Moraine lake. Spent all of our time in the Icefields and Jasper. If you’re headed towards Vancouver island, check out Cathedral grove. Giant cedar trees. I believe from the island or Tsawwassen you can ferry to Washington state and start your journey south once the weather starts to turn in late September/October. Cheers.
