    Our first 1000 kilometers are a fact! Here we are, it’s raining cats and dogs and all we see is clouds… this is the reason why we started in Sao Paulo.. this is not funny! Behinds those clouds are the famous waterfalls of Foz do Iguacu and we decide it’s better to return with sunny weather and so we do..

    Belgium: celebrating New Years in Limburg

    by Bicycle Junkies January 3, 2013
    January 3, 2013

    New Years 2012. We take our Santos Travelmaster 2.6 bicycles to Epen in Southern Limburg and with camera gear packed we hit National Park Hoge Venen in Belgium. We’ve had lots of rain the passed few days, so the tracks are muddy, which make for a good adventure. We end the day with champagne in a New Year!
