Quiz Friday! Last quiz of the year! Here is Kira sitting on the bed in a hotel room. During time we got used to crappy (and thus affordable) hotel rooms: no toilet door, no toilet, no space, sometimes no electricity. Heck, even no shower – just the bucket of rain water. So we stopped paying attention to the tiny details, like unpainted walls. Question: How many hours did it take for Kira to notice that one wall is not painted?
Hint 1: Sven noticed it at the first glance. Hint 2: We stayed there for two days. Write your guess in the comments.
The winner will get a personal kilometer as well as a place in our Hall of Fame (http://on.fb.me/1JAdFTC). The quiz ends on Monday (00:00 GMT). The winner will be announced on Tuesday(ish). The winner will be drawn at random from all the correct entries.
P.S. We miss sleeping in our tent and wish to be back there as soon as security situation will allow it!
Week 116: Finished Honduras, Started El Salvador
Week 116. Finished cycling Honduras, started cycling El Salvador. Countries are rolling pretty fast lately, aren’t they? Honduras was hilly and loud, El Salvador is less hilly and queit. We see endless rural landscapes with a volcano here and there, or maybe get sneak-a-peak to the ocean. It is very hot here, with no clouds at all. We drink 4 gallons (12 liters) of beverages every day!
Quiz: Drycleaners
Quiz Friday! Here is Sven putting our clothes on the line to dry. El Niño is still in full swing, so even though rain season is over for a while now, it still rains heavily and unpredictably and sometimes we get very wet very quickly. In order to speed up the drying process we sometimes use laundry service. Question: How much does it cost to wash and dry your clothes (5 kg) in laundry place in Nicaragua?
A 1,7 usd
B 7 usd
C 17 usd
Hint: It costs 2 usd to do that in Panama. Write your guess in the comments.

Week 115: End of Nicaragua, Start of Honduras
Week 115. Finished cycling Nicaragua and entered Honduras. Honduras is our country number 10 and we use it just for transit. Nicaragua said good bye to us with the eruption of nearby volcano that left us covered in ashes (Sven’s eyes still hurt!) and Honduras said hello with incredibly bumpy road (Kira’s back still hurst!).
Live from the road
Live from the road: getting ready to hit the road when volcanic ashes start falling from the sky. Locals say it’s Telica volcano that erupted today. It had been active in last months. Good that we’re not next to the crater doing a tour right now!
Quiz: Tulkus Favourite Place
Quiz Friday! Here is Tulku sleeping in her favourite spot – Sven’s pillow. There was a 6-month-lenght war between these two for the pillow and after many lost battles Sven had to surrender. But now we are in hot climate and Tulku decided to sleep in cooler places. Question: What is Tulku’s second favourite sleeping spot?
A Under the bed
B Next to the toilet bowl
C On the pile of our dirty clothes

Week 114: Cycling is Perfect in Nicaragua
Week 114. Cycling in Nicaragua is perfect! The roads are flat, it’s finally not that hot anymore, we have tailwinds and the scenery is awesome! Also, Nicaragua has a lot to offer – museums, architecture and nature to explore. We even got to try volcano boarding! It’s going downhill on a board, just instead of snow you use volcano ashes.
Boundless Biking Arrives
This is what happens anywhere when we show up: locals drop whatever they were doing and come to find out who we are and what are we doing there.
Quiz: Having a Dog With Us
Quiz Friday! Here are Sven and Tulku. Not many of you know this, but before our trip, Sven was terrified of dogs. All of them, big or small, including Tulku. It took some time for Sven to conquer his fear of dogs, but now he and Tulku are best buds. They even share one pillow at night. Question: What is Sven’s favourite part of having a dog (Tulku)?
A Sharing a pillow
B Tulku licking his feet
C Cuddling with Tulku

Week 113: Exploring Nicaragua
Week 113. Exploring Nicaragua – the land of lakes and volcanoes! We have finished cycling Costa Rica this week and enterend a new country. After crossing the border we did the mad dash to catch a ferry to Ometepe island in Nicaragua lake. The lake is 19th biggest in the world and the island consists of two volcanoes – you can see them both in the picture!
