It is early. Too early! Not even 6 hours sleep after an exhausting day on the motorcycle (“how to organize a tour to Machu Picchu”). It is 4:45 am and I am getting ready to see the sunrise over Machu Picchu. This was at least the plan…

Day 75: Cusco to Aguas Calientes – How to Organize a Tour to Machu Picchu
What a day!!!!! It took me longer than expected to get to Aguas Calientes… Half way through it started to get foggy and pretty cold with around 5 degrees Celsius. And of course if that would have not been enough it also started to rain… A great combination.
Day 65 to 69: Manaus to Porto Velho – A Special Birthday on the Rio Madeira
It is dark… the lights of the houses and ships across the other side of the river are shining bright while our boat Vieira II slowly leaves the harbour of Manaus…
Day 63 & 64: Manaus – A Great Day Tour into the Amazon
After we tried to organise a 2 days and 1 night tour into the jungle of the Amazon we realised it was too less time, too much effort and too expensive for what we would get in return.
Day 56 to 61: Belem to Manaus – A Boat Cruise Along the Amazon River
Queijo, queijo… Queijo, queijo… Queijo, queijo… What the hell?! It is 5 o’clock in the morning and an Amazon River boat vendor is trying to sell his cheese to the people on board of the Amazonian star.
Day 54 & 55: São Luís to Belem – How to Organize an Amazon Boat Cruise to Manaus With a Motorbike

Day 53: Barreirinhas to São Luís – The Brazilian Capital of Reggae Music
São Luís came unexpected as a nice surprise. It was Easter Sunday and apart from the main square and a cool reggae festival the city was a ghost town…
Day 51 & 52: Jericoacoara to Lençoise Maranhenses – Bucketlist!!!!
Before we reached the ultimate bucket list destination Lençois Maranhenses we made a short pitstop in Parnaiba. Nothing special really but a fun night in a hostel together with other travellers. On the next day a “surprise” was waiting for us, lol.
Day 49 & 50: Fortaleza to Jericoacoara – The Adventure Part Was Great
It is really not difficult, he said. Just a tiny bit of sand, he said. Next moment I am crossing 19 km of sand dunes on my way to Jericoacoara.
Day 46: Tibau do Sul to Natal – A Meeting With Local BMW Bikers
My number plate got lose and I had to go to the next garage to fix it… I was afraid to lose it again (like it happened in Bolivia last year). Also, I needed a new lubricant for my bike’s chain. Therefore…
Day 43 to 45: Recife to Tibau do Sul – Paraiso!
I am sitting in a charming creperie on a wooden platform directly at the sea, the sun is slowly setting and is painting the palmtree and sanddune paradise in a wonderful mixture of red, yellow and orange….
