We've finally come to the end! 60 photos from 22 countries around the world! From -20 degrees celcius when I left Beijing to 45 degrees celcius in Delhi, from metropolitan New York to the poor villages in Central America.
This is dedicated to you, Mummy!
Happy 60th Birthday, Mummy!!!!!! :)
Now for the most most most important photo!!!
I was wrong when I thought I've seen a lot of mountains when I was in Colombia, Ecuador is where the real mountains start! And the views from the mountains are always always amazing.
Yes, it was cold! I have to be in boots and scarf...And sometimes the wind is soooo strong!
Taking a rest every time there's a nice view! It's cold but I am burnt in the face from the strong UV.
The river in the valley, the houses...This place looked so peaceful!
And now, we've finally come to photo #60!
Anyone who doesn't know Colombia well enough will be alarmed at the sound of this country but having been here, I'm telling you that whatever else you've heard is half-true! This is one of my favourite countries in Latin America (among those that I've been to)! People are incredibly friendly, food is good, mountains and beaches are amazing, what else can you ask for? :)
This is where the Andes mountain range starts for me. We no longer have to climb those unreasonably steep hills, months of cycling in Central America built me up for this! We now have to climb thousands of metres to get up to the mountains!
This picture is taken somewhere around the city, Pasto. A view like this is becoming a common thing.
Saw this in a town and thought it would make an interesting picture. A cowboy having a beer and a chat with his friend while his horse is waiting. :)
Cycling above the clouds again!
So, bad things sometimes happen when you are travelling too. Since we got robbed in Nicaragua, we had no camera with us. After Nicaragua, we went to Costa Rica and then on to Panama, only in Panama City where electronics are cheaper (than in other Central/South American) countries that we decided that we should get another camera. So I missed out on photo opportunities in Costa Rica and the West of Panama.
But here are some really cool shots!
We had to take a plane from Panama City to the coast and then take a boat over to Colombia. Had a big fight with the airport staff in Panama City because they wouldn't accept the bicycles claiming that the plane is too small. I mean, how small can your plane be?! Until I saw it....oooooh...that's a really small plane you have! And this picture above is taken at the coast when we landed...Just a short airstrip! And which belt will your luggages be at? No belt! No airport! Just like this! So much like a true-blue Caribbean flight you so often seen in the movies! :)
And of course after arguing with the airport staff for over an hour, they say they would try to put the bicycles on the plane, and this is what happened. They left it on the seats with the passengers, it's like taking a bus!
The passengers waiting around the plane for their flight to Panama City while we took our luggages, they deposited theirs. No check in counter, nothing. People coming with wheel-barrows to help with luggages and that's about it.
Had to ride in this persistent rain when we crossed from Honduras to Nicaragua. Everything is completely wet by the time we get to the next hotel!
I thought this looked very much like a simplified version of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco! Heehee! 
And sometimes it wasn't so bad to be on budget, check out this nice pool that we had in one of the hotels that we stayed in Nicaragua! :)
Chanced upon a Rodeo show while riding! So cool! Look at all the cowboys (and cowgirls)!!! I think they are supposed to make the horse dance and they look so good while performing!!!
And me! Watching the show among the locals!I came up with the idea of doing this when I got to Honduras. So I carried a sign like this and pluck it out everytime there's a 'Kodak moment' to snap! Had a few signs along the way, some were blown away, some got wet... :)
So here's from Honduras!!!
This is taken at the waterfall - Pulhapanzak, it was one of the hardest climb in the journey to get up to this waterfall, it's so steep that I have to stop to rest every ten steps (while pushing the bike). But of course, you are rewarded with a nice waterfall with a sweet rainbow after all the hardwork!
Where's El Progresso???
Finally arriving this town we're heading towards after a long and very hot (weather) ride...El Progresso, here I come! :)
A nice sight on the way to Siguatepeque.
And in this part of the world, you just keep seeing cowboys! So cool! Sometimes kids ride on these horses too!
And we have to camp sometimes when we cannot get to a town with hotel in time. We were camping with a very nice family in the countryside. The house isn't big but their backyard is the two or three hectares behind the house!
